First time cultivating peruvian torch questions
    #21795418 - 06/11/15 11:02 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hi so this is my first time cultivating a peruvian torch cactus and had a few questions. My cactus is about 4-5 cm and in a small clay pot filled with a store bought mycoactive cactus mix containing spaghnum peat moss, peat humus,organic fertilizer, sand,and mycorrhizae. So my questions are as follows is this store bought mix sufficient or can I make it better? Is this clay pot I have big enough for it? When do I transplant it?

Are you one hundred percent sure that is a T. peruvianus? The photo isn't enlarging, but your soil seems fine.

Pots good
Soil is good
Not a Peruvian torch in my opinion... Might be some type of torch though, torch meaning columnar

Might want to poke around at Home Depot or www.cactusshop.com and see what ya got

Here's a couple more pics. It will be really disappointing if it's not a peruvian torch

That's a little better. It's a baby. You gotta give it time before you see its true potential.

Peruvianus genetics are so muddled. If you want a true mescaline containing cactus bridgesii seems to be the most consistent. That is what I like to call Trichocereus sp.

Well said. If it's mescaline your after, it bridgesii. True Peruvianus are more of a collectors item in my opinion, but I'd say it's a bit early to tell just yet. it looks real nice though, congrats on your new baby!

Collectors item for sure. I have some I would not dare touch. Too beautiful to even sample. I got one sold to me as a short spine peruvianus but who the hell knows and that's the one I tripped off of. It's beautiful.

Mine is almost finished. I have had a few set backs with my plastic not being secure enough and ripping off in the wind, to spending a little more than I had wanted to. I am going to try and complete the roof today. Heading to the hardware store for some more zip ties, and a can of flex seal..so I can strengthen and cover any holes and tears. I will post pics in my Tent Greenhouse thread when it is completed.

I will be able to put about 260 5 gallon buckets inside and still leave walking room around.

They seem to appreciate high humidity( a lot) at this stage in their life.  I would dome the pot with a few small air holes.
