My very first Trichocereus Peruvianus the day I got it and now.

This is the very first cactus to own and started my newfound obsession/hobby with these beautiful plants.
This was it on May 5th

And here's a pic just taken 5mins ago.

It's seems to have gotten a little bit taller but I'm quite impressed with how well it's filling out in girth. I can't bring myself to clone it; maybe when it get a bit beefier. Here a shot of my full collection at the moment excluding a few Trichocereus Bridgesii I should be getting in tom.

These plants have brought me a lot of joy; I frequently find myself just chilling outside on the porch and admiring them often. Updates of my other plants soon to come.
One love!

Thanks man, it's been a blast taking care of it and watching it grow. Like I said, I have another cutting coming in today; I'll make sure to take a pic of it and upload to this thread as well.
By the way, I absolutely love your garden and setup; it's truly an inspiration for me to get something like that going of my own. Please keep uploading pics and telling us about your progress.

Nice cacti!

About 11-13hrs of direct sunlight each day. The sun rises around 6:30am here and sets around 8pm; I leave that 2 hour variation because sometimes the trees and stuff around my plants cast shadows on them but only at sunrise and sunset does that happen. The temp here fluctuates between 79-93 degrees at this time of year. With the weather and sun being so hot, I find myself watering them once every two or three days. Honestly I'm surprised the sun hasn't been too much for them... they seem to be absolutely loving it

To much direct sunlight can take the bluish/green color away from them, and make them appear more yellow/green, but yours look great.

Thanks Fennario, it's nice hearing that my labor and care for these plants is paying off. I should have one of these Bridgesii waiting for me to plant once I get off work

That is a sweet plant dude! If it wasn't for those crazy spines I'd say it's a PC because of the way the aereoles are so protruding, Very cool man, great bridgesii
If I were you I would chop all of those plants in your first post at the point that they start to fatten up, but I'd wait until the end of the growing season. That Bridge I might chop into a couple sections for maximum propagation but that's just me
