my new cacti arrived, I got a TBM ( penis cactus ) and a supposed trichocereus peruvianus.
got these guys after finding out my san pedro were PC. I also have juuls giants on the way let me know what you guys think of my newest family members

NICE! the one is certainly a penis morph of the Bridgesii... Not sure bout the other, though. It may be too young to tell, but it looks more like a PC San Pedro, to me. Peruvians have longer darker spines - at least on the few I've seen.

if anyone could help ID the supposed Peruvian I would greatly appreciate it. Im really hoping its not a PC pedro, it looks quite a bit different then the PC's I have same size.

not sure if that guy is a PC, but he certainly no torch, this is what one should look like

thanks for your responses, I really have not had good luck so far with cacti, seems my only verified cactus is my penis cactus, (witch I love very much and have recently named chubs I have learned quite a bit so far though. once my Juuls Giants arrive I will post pics for verification thanks.

Bdevall158: that looks like a non-PC to me.

Sean959: That looks like a slightly etiolated pup of a PC-pachanoi. I'm guessing you're using an online auction site. This can be an easy way to get swindled as a newcomer to Trich's. Also, bridgesii are the easiest to recognize so I would stick to those if you insist on auction sites.

Again, don't despair, PC pachanoi is great grafting stock, keep it and take good care of it. You could graft something nice onto that.




I recommend going through trusted cacti places, such as this one (Check the seeds and plant suppliers sub-forum for more), for pachanoi and peruvianas:

I really wasent trying to get into grafting and williamsii take far to long to grow. So as far as I'm concirned the 5/6 cacti I have are now just common house plants.. I think I'm giving up on cactus and might as well stick to what I know best

Hey your cacti look nice!

People throw the PC label around too much. Your "peruvianus" does look like panchanoi, but there are also such things as short spined Peruvianus. Was it sold as short spined?

I have had some really good results with panchanoi that look identical to your picture I have Bout six of them and they are my favorite panchanoi.

Don't worry about what they say about PC or not. Like I said I have ones just like that that produce potent ritual results.

You can pm me and I can help you have better luck obtaining good cacti especially off auction sites

Cheers and endjoy your plants.

Yes this seller has long spine and short spine supposed Peruvians for sale and this was one of the short spined species apparently, it does look a little pachanoi though. I honestly don't know

yes its a peruvianus, thats what i meant by the post i should have looked over my wording before posting that

So is it a PC pachanoi or a short spined peruvianus ?

That is a very nice example of a penis cactus , very healthy

Don't give up!!!

As far as knowing for sure about short-spined peruvianas vs. PC pachanoi, I'm afraid no one will be able to tell you with any degree of certainty. You'll have to grow it out and see for yourself

And about the PC label, like becometheother said, don't worry about it too much. I know from personal experience, "PC" pachanoi are active. Sure it might take a bit more but it still gets you there.

Don't give up!!!

Thanks for the positive vibes friend. Aslong as the cacti I have on the way are actually juuls giants and not some 20" PC pachanoi, I won't give up. As for my pc's.. In a few years when they are big enough I will either make a large batch of tea or use the orange oil tek. Pics will be posted of juuls giants as soon as they arive on a week, thanks again

Wooo Hoooo! Juul's Giant is pretty. Good choice!
