Good question! The Argentine Saguaro (not to be confused with the Saguaro, or Carnegiea gigantea) shares the genus Trichocereus with these other cacti, it's scientific name being Trichocereus terscheckii. This video is a guide to the major kinds of Trichocereus cacti.
That's a fair question! It's a common and accepted naming convention in the San Pedro community when you're talking about these cacti. Besides the umbrella term "San Pedro", we reference the Trichocereus pachanoi/Echinopsis Pachanoi as its common name "San Pedro" for time and ease, and the others as their common names as well (Peruvian, Bolivian, etc). We can understand how that might be confusing at first.
Great video. I noticed 'V' notches above the aereoles as well on some peruvian torch cacti which can make things confusing, so the blue colour is a good means to distinguish them.
Great point! They can sometimes have ‘V’ notches and that’s what makes Peruvians and Pachanoi so difficult to tell apart. The blue color is the usually the best distinction.
Ideas for future vids include identifying and treating common trichocereus diseases like sooty mould, fungal pegs and insect pests. Also would be cool to see some mature cacti from each species in your collection if you have any. Thanks for the vids.
Glad you enjoyed the video! We have a couple of videos on taking cuttings for propagation, grafting, and planting cactus cuttings on our channel if you would like to take a look! :)
Hey there! Unfortunately we do not ship outside of the United States at this time. If you're planning on getting a San Pedro for your garden make sure to protect it from colder temps by using frost blankets or bringing it indoors or to a greenhouse (if possible). Trichocereus Terscheckii / Argentine Saguaro are a more cold tolerant option but you'll still need to be careful.
Nice. Thank you. I'm new to cactus and working at a place with overgrown unmanaged older cactus nursery. I'm building a collection from cutting. Thank you.
Being native of cactus country I'd always heard saguaro pronounced more like sawuaro or sahworo. Test: How do you say, La Quinta? Hint: Qui is pronounced 'key' . Nice video I appreciated the lesson.
Why does it say "5 major types of San Pedro Cacti" but one of the types is a Saguaro Cactus? 🤔

Please if you find the time to tell me the name of the one that looks blue ?

There's so many hybrids . I think they're so unique

I call it a BLU TORCH. I have 4 in my collection
How can you identify them all as san pedro and then comparing them to san pedro?

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this channel!

It’s a popular cultivar of Trichocereus pachanoi

Groovy rib shifting on that last pop quiz subject. Should immediately be crossed with the domino cactus.
Oooo now that would be something!
I live in Germany and want to have one san pedro in my garden. Which one is suitable? ( min -5°) How can I buy one from your shop?

Well done!
Nice. Thank you. I'm new to cactus and working at a place with overgrown unmanaged older cactus nursery. I'm building a collection from cutting. Thank you.
Best of luck with the nursery! We hope that we can help out in any way we can.
So what about the quiz…was it a scop and a peruvian?
You got it!
Great videos! Good work and thank you

Thanks for the tips!
20 species of cactus? You meant 2,000 right?
Of San Pedro cactus I believe she said in the video.
Hey there! We specifically mean the Trichocereus genus.
I want one in India..
We wish we could send them over to you! Unfortunately we only ship to the United States.
