**This clone is called China Gold. It originates from asia, where it is propagated and distributed. My large grown specimens maintain their shorter spines. Some collectors feel it may be a very short spine Peruvianus, I'm sticking with Pachanoi. Whatever it is, it's cool!
Trichocereus Pachanoi Variegated Crested cactus specimen. These are called bi-lateral variegation per one side is often void of any chlorophyll, chlorophyll is needed to photosynthesize, thus creat energy for growth. Sometimes there's a blend of both on these guys. Your turn to take over and let grow, ready for some fresh soil and a new home.
Handle with CARE and please see our FAQ for basic care info.
**Cactus are not perfect, they may have small flaws, we try and photograph all sides of a cactus including any flaws that catch our attention, but please do not expect every spine to be perfect, these are growing cactus and like people, they have character!
I really like these cactus.. plural. They are so cool and wonderful! Woo double whoooo!!! So cool! Yup yup that's awesome! Yippee!
I read the description and expected some issues, like cuts, etc..not a pretty specimen, but this is a little more than most would expect with that description. Only about a quarter of the plant was connected. I can probably replant it if it falls over or breaks off, but I don't really know how to do that. I think this one should have been reworked a bit, not sold to a novice, first time cactus owner. I would have ordered the cuttings then. I have bonsai trees and if I got one like this, I'd be pretty disappointed. Just not a great start for me in the cactus world.
Hi Scott
You ordered a basic bargain potted Bridgesii specimen. This is what cactus look like when they have been cut and grow new tips. It's not an issue whatsoever. They do Not grow flat on top of the other section. They grow from the side off of aereoles, aereoles are what spines grow out of. Also, it will not fall off, it's been like that for well over a year. This is cactus 101, I'm sorry you're a beginner, but I make myself readily available via email, text and even my cell phone to assist and answer questions regarding cactus. I want all of my customers to be happy and learn how to grow these awesome cactus successfully. Did you email, text or call me? We even include a card that that reminds you to reach out with questions. I Can't help and answer questions and concerns if you don't reach out and ask. Your specimen is healthy and will grow big if you take care of it. If you have additional questions, ask, and I'll answer.
Have a great day, cheers!
This plant feel apart when taken out of it pot. I don’t think it is going to live.
What a great piece I recently received. I love the ridges & the each color is bright & vibrant. Shipping was quick & the packing of the cactus ensured nothing would damage it. Thank you for a wonderful addition to my collection.
Excellent product excellent shipping. I wouldn’t buy succulents from anybody else❤️
I bought several of the TBMs, and they did not disappoint! They were all healthy, packaged with care, and of a good size. I will definitely be buying from The Succulent Source in the future!
