The San Pedro is a fast-growing columnar cactus native to the Andes Mountains of Peru between 2000-3000 m in altitude. It is also found in Bolivia, Chile and Ecuador, and it is cultivated in other parts of the world.
They also produce the most giant, beautiful and fragrant flowers imagineable! Absolutely stunning and equal to any flower out there!
The grouping pictures show the San Pedro growing amongst some of it’s cousins, a few of which we also sell. They are awesome plants, whether in pots or planted as landscape specimens.

Fast shipping came just as in picture even got 2 lil neat cactus for free. Sorry about pic but already transplanted them. And dring a pup out to root it and start another cactus. But we'll worth it
I saw this beauty a few weeks ago and, because I lack self control, I ordered it on the spit. Fantastic root development. I tickled the soil out of its roots, let the roots heal for a couple weeks and planted it in an 80% pumice, 15% cactus potting soil with 5% worm castings and a smidgen of bone meal, yesterday. I'm very happy with Darren and the great folks at succulent source !
The succulent cuttings I ordered from The Succulent Source were all in good condition when they arrived. I was able to use almost all of them on the wreaths I’m making.
Wonderfully robust and healthy specimen. Strong roots and very strong girth and height.
