*On potted PC I usually include a blank aluminum ID tag, some customers buy these to graft on, and some buy to add to their collection, you can write whatever name you’d like using a pen or pencil on the tags, leaving this up to you.

* Winter rainy months expect snail nibbles on most tips, this time of year they are out and about, and we don't spray anything. Scars will simply move down w new growth, or if grafting sliced off!

Trichocereus Pachanoi "PC" cactus are by far the most commonly grown, and sold Trichocereus in the United States.  What does PC mean? PC is short for Predominant Cultivar. This means they were and are the most widely commercially grown trichs within the nursery business here on the west coast of the states. Why?  They are prolific flower bloomers. AWESOME majestic flowers, great for all the critters that will be attracted to their fragrant scent from bees to bats and of course people! They are great as landscape specimens. If you are driving around the West Coast and encounter giant cactus growing in front of a library, restaurant or office building, it's a good chance it's Trichocereus PC. Same goes for the thousands and thousands of other homes and buildings that take advantage of their unique columns to add that special touch in creative landscaping.  They are popular within both the nursery and landscaping world for their ability to thrive in a variety of environmental conditions. They are one of the easiest, and therefore one of the most common columnar cactus propagated by nurseries in the United States, often used in commercial and residential landscaping, oops I already said that! Occasionally but not often, some of the big box stores across the country may offer them, often labeled as San Pedro, the common name for many Trichocereus cactus associated with South American origins. We're happy to say we sell and ship our cactus all over the states all year round!

 PC is also highly popular amongst cactus grafters, that's where an expensive, rare and or super slow growing cactus specimen is grown on top of another cactus. Super cool and interesting growing technique that has been popular all over the world by both hobbyists and commercial growers. Even my kids like to graft! 

PC is a great cheaper entry level Trichocereus into the collection hobby, but there are so many other super cool trichs like spiny Bridgesii, smoother Pachanoi, bluer Peruvianus, exotic hybrids and on and on.  Never hesitate to ask questions, we're here to support ya!

Below is more info and options we have, and we're always open to custom and wholesale pc orders too.

**Large and heavy middle cuts are sold approx. 15-20 lb lots. You may get 2-5 pieces based on stock. If pieces appear dehydrated, it means you’ll get more cutts and you’re not paying for water! If youd prefer more smaller, or less and bigger, please make a note during checkout. These will likely be discolored, scarred, sunburned, marked etc. Often one side will be heavily discolored if it's been laying on its side for too long, simply cosmetic,  and even sunburned cutts may appear bad, they will still push out new pups. *Best practice is to place the sunburned side away from sun, allowing other side to better photosynthesis. Just repeating, grafting stock doesnt need to be pretty, especially in the bulk weight listings  They are not show plants!  They are from hard grown areas and will greatly benefit from Fresh soil and shade and consistent watering. Colors will return to darker green over time if given some tlc as just mentioned.  The bigger and heavier the cutting, the more growth you can expect on your grafts. Lots of great videos out there on youtube etc. 

** PC tips potted in 4” containers will vary by heights and width, some may show stretched tips which is normal during winter slower growth here, they’re gonna get sliced off regardless, just an fyi per a customer was expecting all fat tips.

Generally, if you are new to grafting, tip cutts are preferred as they're soft and easy to work with. Some like mids because they will wait for new tips to form and graft on those.  Have fun, grafting is relaxing and rewarding!

Check other listings for Exact potted options, as well as Bulk Lots. 

These are Not Show Specimens, they likely have flaws, scars, dings, dents and spots, normal outdoor grown blemishes, they are mainly grafting stock, but that being said, PC are cool!

These ornamental Trichocereus cuttings are ready to be potted and rooted.  Give cacti propagation a start, you don't have to be a crazy smart botanist to grow beautiful cactus from cuttings! Why cuttings vs potted?   Time and cost!  Propagating via cutting cactus is the fastest and most economical way for commercial nursery growers to expand stock.  It eliminates months and years of waiting for seedlings to grow to appropriate selling size. This cost in growing can then be passed onto the seller.  You simply do the work on rooting and you learn a valuable lesson in growing and caring for cacti!

These specific cuttings will come from a variety of locations on our nursery, some in full sun, some partial, some in shade all day.  Sunlight, shade, soil, watering, fertilizer etc. are all factors  that determine the color of these cuttings, full sun tend to be lighter, full shade are darker.  They are not perfect, they will have blemishes, spots, splotches, scratches, mark's, scars, etc.  They are cactus!  Please check out our exact potted cactus if you are looking for collection specimens.

Generally will be cut fresh after sale is completed, but often we have cut and readied as our turnover can be very quick at times.  Please allow us a week or so to allow proper drying for safe shipping(sometimes during colder/wetter months this may take longer than warm/dry months).  Please see our Blog on propagating cactus cuttings to help get your investment rooted.

*** The following is not the norm but it's always a possibility.  Times and success with rooting can vary based on multiple factors including time of year, temps, soil etc.  Sometimes ends may arrive discolored, not an issue if its DRY. If a little mushy, follow our blog and slice off small section and start drying process all over. If some mold on the end, read our Blog and wash and dry and slice if needed.  Your cactus cutting is not ruined because of any of these reasons, it's an opportunity to learn and become an experienced propagation expert.   If this is too overwhelming for you, we kindly and respectfully ask that you not order from us as we want all of our customers to be happy!

Handle with CARE  and please see our FAQ for basic care info.

**Cactus are not perfect, they may have small flaws, we try and photograph all sides of a cactus including any flaws that catch our attention, but please do not expect every spine to be perfect, these are growing cactus and like people, they have character!

Don't Buy This Monitor
Size: 32-1
I know the price vs viewable real estate is tempting but don't buy this monitor. Mine is defective: You can't see the bottom half inch of the display. That doesn't sound like a big deal except that's where the taskbar is, so I can't see that. There is no support at all. The company that makes this thing doesn't even have a website so I can't try to use their driver instead of Microsoft's generic one. All they have is an outlook email address (that's not very professional - spring for your own domain, they're not expensive) that they don't monitor. I've written twice over two days and have yet to receive a reply. So I guess this monitor is going back which is a shame because the part of the display I can see is really nice. Also, several of the functions don't work. The description and even the setup menu say it has HDR - it doesn't. It says it has speakers - they don't function. The setup menu says it has DDC/CI which is the ability to adjust settings from on the monitor from the PC - it doesn't. All these things together sound like a driver issue, right? Same thing I thought. But since there's no website, no phone number, and no one answering emails, there are no drivers available.

Its not flawless, but probably better than it should be
Size: 32-1
There is not a lot of useful info about these out there, so I will do my best to provide it. 1. To anyone not picky, the monitor is pretty good. Ive got it sitting next to a Dell U3223QE. Its slightly less bright, but not dramatically soo, noticeable, but not a lot. 2. This is fairly glossy, and the gloss coating scratches like nothing else, I scratched this one fairly badly, so ill probably have to order another. The gloss coating appears to enhance the black levels. At least the specific unit I received appears to have slightly better contrast than the U3223QE, which is kinda impressive, it is reflective though. 3. The one real complaint I have is the viewing angles are not the best, though its not like it falls apart the moment you view it off axis, it just is not as good as a high quality panel like the 3223QE. Again, overall, its pretty good, certainly not as good as the 3223QE, but good enough that it makes me question if anyone should buy something high end at this point in non OLED

Works great out of the box
Size: 49-1
This is labeled a gaming monitor but i use it for work. The picture, color, brightness, sharpness, contrast etc are all really good for my purposes (though admittedly i am using for gaming where users are very discriminating) - for my purposes, to have several windows open at the same time or to have many columns of large spreadsheets visible this is an excellent choice. I wish it had mic, speakers and camera to use for zoom meetings but given the low price i really can't complain. There is nothing comparable in this price range. Big plus is how easy it is to set up. I had it plugged into my macbook within minutes. Wish it could work with USB-C and didn't need hdmi, but that's a minor issue for me.
