Introducing the San Pedro cactus, also known as Echinopsis pachanoi (Syn. Trichocereus pachanoi) or Trichocereus Echinopsis pachanoi, which is among the superstars of the cactus world. This fast-growing columnar cactus is also known as the Wachuma and Huachuma. 

Standing tall and proud, this magnificent San Pedro cactus columnar beauty can reach heights of up to 20 feet and spread its branches wide, up to six feet! With stems that range from vibrant green to mesmerizing blue-green shades, San Pedro is a true showstopper in any landscape. As your San Pedro cactus plant matures, its colors deepen and intensify, adding even more charm to its already captivating presence.  


When the San Pedro cactus flowers bloom, they emit a sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.

The flowers are usually large and trumpet-shaped and come in various colors, including white, cream, and yellow. The petals have a delicate texture and often have a waxy appearance.

The fragrant flowers usually open during the day and close at night. They have a short blooming period, typically lasting for a day or two.

During the blooming season, which usually occurs in late spring or early summer, multiple flowers can bloom at once, creating a captivating sight.

The San Pedro cactus flowers are not only visually appealing but also have cultural significance. In some indigenous cultures, the flowers are used in traditional ceremonies and rituals. They are believed to have spiritual and healing properties.

The San Pedro cactus also has Pitahaya red San Pedro cactus fruits. These fruits are known for their sweet and refreshing flavor, making them a popular choice for consumption. Additionally, they are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, providing numerous health benefits.  

When and How to Water Your San Pedro Cactus 

San Pedro cactus is a drought-tolerant plant that can survive in dry conditions for long periods of time. However, regular watering is still needed to stay healthy. Generally, the San Pedro needs to be watered once every two weeks. During the summer months, when temperatures are high and the plant is actively growing, it may need to be watered more frequently.  

When watering your Trichocereus Echinopsis pachanoi, be sure to soak the soil thoroughly and allow it to drain completely. To prevent root rot and other issues, avoid overwatering. The leaves may become dry and brittle, and the cactus may stop growing if it is underwater. Over time, the San Pedro cacti may start to lose their shape and become misshapen.  

In addition to these physical symptoms, underwatering can also make the cactus more susceptible to pests and diseases. To keep your San Pedro cactus healthy and thriving, it is important to water it regularly and provide it with the right growing conditions. 

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your San Pedro Cactus

When grown indoors, your San Pedro cactus should be placed in a bright, sunny location where it can receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.

For outdoor cultivation, the San Pedro cactus requires a lot of sunlight to grow and thrive.

In its natural habitat, this cactus is exposed to direct sunlight for 4-6 hours each day.

If you live in an area with a lot of cloud cover or limited sunlight, you may need to supplement your cactus's light with artificial grow lights.

So, let's give your San Pedro cactus plant what it deserves—just the right amount of light to bloom into the ultimate showstopper! 

But beware; too much sun can lead to burns, so make sure you gradually increase exposure or bring it indoors during a heatwave. And if your Echinopsis pachanoi isn't getting enough light, it'll start stretching toward its source.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use well-drained soil that is designed specifically for your Echinopsis pachanoi cactus. These specialty soil mixes have been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. Commercial cactus soil is affordable and available online or at Home Depot.

Planet Desert specializes in cacti and has a specialty cactus potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your San Pedro cactus thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing your San Pedro cactus plant, it only needs a small amount of fertilizer applied once a year in the spring. Cacti prefer fertilizer with lower doses of NPK, with a maximum ratio of 5-10-5 which is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen. Remember, overfertilization can lead to root rot or even the death of the plant, so be cautious! 

Hardiness Zones & More 

San Pedro cactus is a hardy plant that can grow in a variety of different climates. It is native to the Andes Mountains, where it can be found growing at high altitudes in a range of temperatures. In the United States, San Pedro cactus is typically grown in warm, dry climates such as those found in the southwestern states. 

When growing indoors, the San Pedro cactus prefers a warm and dry environment. It thrives in temperatures ranging from 55°F to 75°F. Aim for a humidity level of around 40% to 50% to create an ideal indoor environment for your San Pedro cactus.

For outdoor cultivation, this cactus is hardy in USDA zones 8–11, which means that it can tolerate temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you live in an area with extreme temperatures, you may need to take extra precautions to ensure that your San Pedro cactus Echinopsis pachanoi, stays healthy. 

In addition to its hardiness zone, it is also important to consider the humidity requirements of the San Pedro cactus. This cactus is adapted to dry, arid environments and does not require a lot of humidity to grow. In fact, high levels of humidity can be detrimental to the health of the plant, as they can promote the growth of mold and fungal diseases. 

When growing San Pedro cactus, it is important to provide good air circulation and avoid overwatering to prevent the buildup of excess moisture around the base of the plant.

Wildlife - San Pedro Cactus Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The San Pedro Cactus flowers attract several friendly pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These pollinators are essential for the reproduction of the cactus and play a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem's biodiversity.

According to ASPCA, the San Pedro Cactus is safe for humans but can be mildly toxic to cats and dogs if ingested in a large amount. However, it is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for ornamental cactus gardens. However, it is important to keep San Pedro Cactus out of reach of pets to prevent accidental ingestion.

How to Propagate Your San Pedro Cactus

Propagating the San Pedro cactus can be done through seeds or cuttings, but each method has its pros and cons. While cuttings are a quicker option, this method involves cutting off the top of the plant, which permanently alters its tall, elegant columnar form. For this reason, propagation by cuttings is only recommended if the plant has already broken or been damaged. In such cases, you can take a healthy segment, allow it to be callous for about a week, and plant it in well-draining soil to root. However, this approach is less ideal for those who wish to maintain the plant's natural aesthetics.

Seed propagation is a method for cultivating new cacti plants, and preserving their beauty. Harvested from mature cacti's fruit, seeds are cleaned, dried, and sown onto a well-draining soil mix. Despite the patience required, this method allows for healthy plants without compromising the parent cactus's appearance, despite the need for indirect sunlight or grow light.

Key Takeaways

  1. Unlike many other cacti, the San Pedro grows quickly, often reaching heights of 10–20 feet under ideal conditions, making it a popular choice for ornamental gardens.
  2. This cactus is highly adaptable, thriving in a variety of climates and requiring minimal care. It is drought-tolerant, hardy in USDA zones 8–11, and grows well in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil.
  3. San Pedro Cactus is a drought-tolerant that thrives in arid conditions and requires minimal watering. It is a popular choice for xeriscaping and landscaping in dry climates due to its ability to store water in its fleshy stems.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi) is a remarkable plant with unique features. It is characterized by its tall, columnar shape and beautiful white or yellow flowers. The cactus can grow to impressive heights, reaching up to 20 feet in optimal conditions. Its spines are relatively short and are arranged in clusters along the ridges of the cactus. The San Pedro cactus is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in well-draining potting soil and enjoys ample sunlight. It prefers a dry environment and can tolerate drought, so it should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Beautiful and profound, albeit flawed
Format: Hardcover
What I'd really like to rate this is 4 1/2 stars, because it isn't perfect, but it's better than a 4. I just can't bear to give it a 5, for reasons described below. The book has three main parts, each named for a theological virtue of the title. Altogether there are 40 chapters: 14 dedicated to faith, 10 to hope, and 16 to charity. A couple of "Bonus" chapters called "Excursus" take up some interesting theological questions that are related but don't quite fall under any one topic: did Jesus possess the theological virtues? and From God as Love to the Filioque. The book is deeply learned and cites theologians through the centuries, including a few I'd never heard of despite a lot of formal and informal theological study. Of course you meet the usual suspects such as Origen, pseudo-Dionysius, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena, John of the Cross, Mother Teresa, and others; but: have YOU heard of St. Zeno of Verona before? If not, you're in for a treat! The text has more of an Augustinian flavor than a Scholastic one. (I should qualify that claim by admitting that I am at best an armchair theologian, so don't quote me on that.) But, for example: Chapter 39 discusses Beauty, uses the idea of God's eternal Beauty to explain the Trinity, and concludes with St. Augustine's "recipe" for becoming beautiful. Indeed, an in-depth discussion of the Trinity doesn't appear at all until Part 3 on Charity, rather than in the chapter on Faith! An important distinction that Fr. Cantalamessa draws is between "objective" aspects of a theological virtue and the "subjective" aspects of the same. The "objective" aspects refer to the object of the virtue, such as God Himself; the "subjective" aspects refer to how we experience them. He points out that, historically, the "objective" view tended to predominate in theological discussion, whereas the "subjective" view tends to dominate more recently, almost to the exclusion of the objective. It will probably not surprise the reader that Fr. Cantalamessa, former Preacher to the Papal Hosuehold, comes down squarely in the Catholic approach of "both/and", and he elaborates on this. A very appealing aspect of this book is the occasional use of parable and analogy to explain difficult subjects: a parable on trying to justify ourselves by our works (Ch. 7), analogies for "the hint that God exists" (ch. 5), the analogy of the seed (ch. 14), an analogy that hope needs difficulties and tribulations (ch. 22), the Trinity (ch. 29), God's love for us is erotic (ch. 34), and how we might hope that even Nietzsche can be saved (ch. 37). Many analogies, though not all, are drawn from ordinary family life: a mother's love for a child, a child's temper tantrum before collapsing in tears on a parent. These are powerful and effective. Unfortunately, I can't rate it 5 stars, because the text seems to consider its audience to be the average educated lay Catholic, but there are two serious weaknesses both for the theological newbie and even for the theological adolescent. One is the use of many unfamiliar terms, some of them merely transliterated from Greek, and no definition given anywhere -- often, not even a hint of what the word may mean. In some cases this can make it difficult to follow the discussion. For instance, the text dedicates two entire chapters to the question of justification, which makes sense given that it's an important topic in the realm of faith, and it's important to take it seriously. But the book never once provides a definition, which suggests the reader should be familiar with the term already. I guarantee you most people don't know what the word means. But even if you think that a definition of "justification" will indeed come tripping off the average reader's tongue, I challenge you to make a case for terms like ontological, parousia, and parenesis. I've been reading Catholic theology for 30 years and parenesis is a new one even to me. Sure, the reader might could look them up, and I'm glad to expand my vocabulary, but who's the audience here? If the text is meant only for seminarians, then never mind, but given how Word on Fire is marketing this I really don't think that is the case. The second major weakness is all the more disappointing, as it is so common to contemporary works of theology: when newer developments seem to contradict past dogma or even Scripture itself, pretend the dogma and Scripture doesn't exist. This happens at least twice: 1) Surely Fr. Cantalamessa is not unaware that Scripture both Old and New is replete with references to Christ "ransoming" us from God's wrath. Yet there he is in Chapter 31, not merely acting as if it doesn't exist, but contemptuously dismissive of the notion! Grant the Scholastics this much: at least they took Matthew 20.28, Romans 1.18, Romans 2.5-8, 1 Timothy 2.6, 1 Peter 1.18-19, and Revelation 19.15 seriously enough to wrestle with them. 2) Similarly, the Council of Florence made certain pronouncements on "those existing outside the Catholic Church" and "the souls of those who depart this life in actual mortal sin, or in original sin alone." Chapter 14 acts as if they do not exist. I do not for a moment mean to advocate for the "glass half-empty" interpretation of these pronouncements that predominated theological discourse for centuries, let alone for Feeneyism, but we ignore them at our peril, if only because ignoring them leaves a great big breach in the apologetic wall that will come under assault both from those who do reject the Second Vatican Council and from hostile Protestants more knowledgeable of Catholic theological history than the average Catholic and, one half-wonders, the average Catholic theologian. Those drawbacks, while severe enough in my eyes to warrant mention and deduct a star, do not for a moment take away from the beauty and profundity of the rest of this work. I am very glad to have had the chance to read it; it has challenged me both intellectually and spiritually, and I have given it to my (late teenage) children to read and discuss with me. It is absolutely worth reading, and you WILL get a lot out of it. Just be ready for the challenge.

Great speculation from the "Alternative Camp"
Format: Paperback
According to John Anthony West it was not until the second half of the twentieth century that "guerilla scholarship" became a noticeable, if uncoordinated force in modern science. Guerilla scholarship of course, refers to the alternative camp or those that challenge orthodox views in science, archeology, anthropology, etc. If this book doesn't fall into the guerilla scholarship or alternative camp category it comes really close. Author Dr. Robert Schoch is of course the archeologist who some years ago, along with John Anthony West, shocked the scientific community and infuriated Dr. Zahi Hawass, Egypt's Director of Antiquity, by claiming that the Sphinx's construction predated Khufu, its alleged builder, by 3,000 years or more. While the controversy surrounding those claims has resulted in numerous books, both, pro and con, with no real accepted conclusions, in this book Schoch tries to develop the hypothesis that all of the pyramids constructed around the world have a common origin in Sundaland, which was inundated under 250 feet of water after the last ice age. If somebody could come across a pyramid or two (2), that predated the great pyramid, under that 250 feet of water it would certainly help Schoch's case, but be that as it may, Schoch, while not proving his hypothesis, does present a pretty convincing argument in support of his speculation. Schoch begins with a discussion in review of the theories for the age of Giza and other pyramid type structures around the world. He then provides very convincing evidence for his claim that humans traversed both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans eons before Columbus's 1492 voyage, which is the orthodox view of the first contact with the new world. He discusses how early humans might have accomplished this as well as their possible motives for doing so. Schoch concludes with where they came from, arriving at the common roots in Sundaland 10,000 years ago. This book probably has some of the longest, impossible to pronounce names, of people and places of any book that I have ever read; and a few maps of various parts of the world, particularly Europe, the Middle and Far East, and South America, would have helped a great deal in developing a mental picture of what was being related. All that aside, the book challenges the mind and causes one to think. I was particularly intrigued by Schoch's explanation as to how Moses was able to convince the pharaoh to allow him and his followers to leave Egypt, as well as Schoch's perfectly plausible explanation of what parted the waters of the Red Sea and subsequently drowned the pharaoh's army when the waters rushed back in. While maybe not as convincing as Schoch's earlier work, "Voices of the Rocks", Schoch presents convincing arguments and if you are a "guerilla scholar" you're going to love this book.

This is a great book to begin your study on all the groups ...
Format: Paperback
This book isn't just about pyramids. It talks a lot about all the different groups and waves of people who traveled to the American continent, mostly the Latin American areas. There is so much information contained therein that I intend to read this book again. This is a great book to begin your study on all the groups who traveled to Latin America.

Good read
Format: Kindle
Very well written, personable, and good research. Several references were made about Noah and Moses as if they were valid historical people and their related events, which most scholars agree were 'lifted' from Sumerian and Akkadian legends. Doesn't give much credit to Zechariah Sitchin, never even mentions Enlil and Enki - it's like talking about Kennedy's last trip to Dallas without mentioning the Grassy Knoll.
