Product Description

The San Pedro cactus (trichocereus pachanoi) is the oldest known magical plant from South America. Originally this plant comes from Equador and Peru, there it still grows on the highlands on 2000-3000 metres.

This fast growing cactus has 4 to 9 ribs and a strong root sytem. In nature the San Pedro cactus will continue to grow until it falls over under its own weight. The fallen cactus will root again and produce many new shoots.

The San Pedro is often used as a base for grafting other, more difficult to cultivate cacti on top of it.
The San Pedro itself can be grown from seeds. Under dry as well as wet circumstances the cactus can be grown, it grows up most quickly when it´s watered regularly. However, without water the plant can survive for years and even produce new sprouts.

The active alkaloids of the San Pedro cactus are:
mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxy-B-phenethylamine)
3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-B-phenethylamine
3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-B-phenethylamine
tyramine
hordinenine
Mescaline is the most important alkaloid. The San Pedro contains a bit less mescaline than the Peyote cactus, making it more friendly.

These San Pedro cuttings are on avergae 1 foot long (30 cm), 3 inches (7 cm) in diameter and weigh on average 1 kilo. They have only a few needles which are also very short.

It is possible to let the San Pedro cutting regrow. The cutting should be placed in damp sand, deep enough to support it (3-4” /7-10 cm). It will root rapidly if the soil is warm. After several weeks, when the cactus begins to show signs of growth or swelling, it may be potted in ordinary cactus soil.

Do not use when pregnant, depressed, on medication, driving motorized vehicles, under 18 years old.
When you´re using San Pedro make sure there´s someone with you to assist you when neccessary.
