Peruvian Torch Seedlings “Bonny x Peru Blue 3”

Description

Peruvian Torch Information

Trichocereus peruvianus, otherwise known as Peruvian Torch Cactus, is a fast growing columnar cactus that is one of San Pedro’s cousins. It is native to the high elevations of Peru, specifically in the Andes mountains. Their skin can range from dark green to a beautiful blue hue. They are prized for their gorgeous long, yellow spines. They can also achieve great thickness, which is another reason why Peruvian Torches are highly sought after in the cactus community. In similar fashion to it’s cousins Pachanoi, Bridgesii, and Scopulicola, Pervianus product large white, night-blooming flowers that have a lovely fragrance.

Bonny Information 

Bonny is a Peruvianus cultivar that comes from Misplant seeds, a highly respected Trichocereus breeder. It has everything you would ever want in a Peruvian Torch: incredibly thick growth, dark green skin, beautiful, long, golden spines, and highly defined “V” notches above the areoles.

Peru Blue 3 Information

Peru Blue is an umbrella term for Peruvian Torches that come from the Succulent Source, an online nursery that specializes in succulents such as aloes and agaves as well as Trichocereus cacti. They coined them as “Peru Blues” due to the beautiful blue color that can be characteristic of Peruvian Torches. The number that comes after “Peru Blue” narrows it to a more specific genetic line of Peruvian Torches. Blue 3 specifically was found and propagated by a Trichocereus collector named Taj. Peru Blue 3 yields thick growth as well as a nice blue hue as suggested by its name.
