Bolivian Torch Cactus Seedling (Trichocereus bridgesii)

The Bolivian Torch (Trichocereus bridgesii), also known as Achuma or Echinopsis lageniformis, is a fast-growing, columnar cactus that contains the naturally occurring psychedelic compound mescaline. Native to the high-altitude deserts and valleys of Bolivia, this sacred cactus has been used by Indigenous cultures for centuries in traditional healing and spiritual ceremonies.

Details:

• Fast Growing: The Bolivian Torch is a vigorous species that can grow up to 2–5 meters tall in its natural habitat, often gaining height rapidly under the right conditions.
  
• Appearance: Pale green to bluish-green in color, it typically has 4–8 ribs and is known for its long spines that can grow up to 5–10 cm in length. Once mature, it produces large, fragrant, night-blooming white flowers.
  
• Hardy and Adaptable: Known for its resilience, Bolivian Torch is tolerant of colder temperatures and can thrive in a variety of conditions.
  
• Legal Cultivation: Despite its mescaline content, Bolivian Torch cacti are legal to cultivate in both Canada and the USA.
