About Echinopsis Pachanoi (San Pedro Cactus)
One of the most iconic columnar cacti in the world, Echinopsis pachanoi (formerly Trichocereus pachanoi) originates from the Andes mountains of Peru and Ecuador, where it grows at elevations of 2,000–3,000m. It’s a fast-growing, hardy cactus that thrives in Australian conditions — making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced collectors.
San Pedro features a distinctive pale blue-green skin with 6–8 rounded ribs and small clusters of spines at evenly spaced areoles. Mature plants can reach 3–6 metres in height and produce spectacular large white flowers that bloom at night.

POT A CUTTING: Always wear gloves when handling cactus, we recommend welding gloves. Fill a pot with cactus soil, then insert the base of each cutting to a depth of about 10cm, or deep enough that it stands up unsupported. Water the planted cutting until the soil is evenly wet. Place the pot in a warm room in filtered sunlight. Water the cactus when the top inch of soil begins to dry out.
LIGHT: Ideally these plants love full sun, but you’ll need to slowly introduce them back to the light or the skin will get burn spots. Start by putting it in a location that gets sunlight in the mornings and then each week move it into locations with more and more light.
WATER: Pachanoi are pretty tough, they will make do with whatever rain they get. If undercover or inside, only water them when they have already absorbed all the moisture in the soil.
