10 Trichocereus bridgesii Seeds - Echinopsis lageniformis Cactus - Psychoactive Succulents

Trichocereus bridgesii, also classified as Echinopsis lageniformis, is a bluish-green columnar cactus native to Boliva, which is also where these seeds are from. It resembles the more common San Pedro cactus, Trichocereus pachanoi but typically has fewer, wider ribs and longer spines. In fact, many references to San Pedro in Bolivia are believed to actually be referring to Trichocereus bridgesii rather than Trichocereus pachanoi, both of which contain the psychoactive alkaloid mescaline. This cactus has gained much popularity among cactus collectors in recent years. Like Trichocereus pachanoi, it has huge, white blooms that make it an attractive landscaping cactus. It grows a little bit slower than Trichocereus pachanoi but is still a rapid grower, making it one of several Trichocereus species that work well as a grafting stock for slower-growing cacti such as Astrophytum, Peyote and Ariocarpus. It can reach 4.5 meters in height and tends to produce offsets rather easily. Trichocereus bridgesii is also easy to grow from seed, but its seedlings are more prone to turning purple than many other Trichocereus species when exposed to sunlight. When this occurs, be sure to reduce their exposure. It is hardy to about -1.1°C and should only be watered during active growth when the soil has dried out.
