How to Grow

This cactus is some of the easiest cacti to grow because it can handle severe environment, even if the temperature go lower than 0 degrees. They can handle plenty of rain and seem to be quite resistant to most bug infestations in turn.

The Trichocereus cactus also grow very fast reaching ten to sixteen inches in only three years.

Use a grow box. Fill plastic containers (5cm) with sterilized soil, place the seeds in the soil and press lightly. Place the trays in a layer of boiled water and wait until the surface of the earth moist. Take the jars out and cover them with plastic wrap. Optimal temperature in this stage is between 18°C and 23°C.

After a few days to weeks, a green baby cactus occur. After about four weeks, you can start hardening. Pierce 2 holes in the foil and then every day. You can remove the plastic film when the inside atmosphere is the same as outside.

Watering with boiled water or rainwater, not to dry, but not too much water. After one year, you may repot them, be very careful with the pen root. If the cactus tends to turn yellow, that means that it needs more light; if the cactus tends ti turn red then it needs less water.
