Hugh Pachanoi

Family: Cactaceae 

Genus: Trichocereus/Echinopsis 

Origin: Native to high altitudes in northwestern South America from Ecuador to Argentina. Hugh is a true Pachanoi likely imported from Ecuador or Northern Peru to San Diego California but could have been started from seed in the states. I got mine directly from Hugh in San Diego and have been growing them out for several years now. He refers to it as a Juuls. 

Form/Color: Hugh forms thick stands of near spineless columns with large white flowers in summer.  

Water Requirements: Weekly deep drenching throughout most of the year and allow to fully dry out in between. If in a colder climate it's best to stop watering in winter to allow them to go dormant.
