A cousin to San Pedro and the Peruvian torch cactus this is also a fast growing species as are all cacti in the Trichocereus genus. Sow seeds (same as San Pedro) by placing on top of a soil and top dressing the soil with a coating of more soil. They should receive shaded light or fluorescent light for the first 6-12 months then full sun may be provided (Not for the entire day though, they prefer approx 6 hours of direct sun per day). The humidity for germination should be around 70-80 % this can be created using a small terrarium. This cactus will grow rapidly doubling its size every year.
