What to expect in the box

After Arrival

Carefully unpack your cactus right away. It already has an established root system, so pot it up and allow several days before the first light watering.

Transplant Tips

Use a gritty, fast-draining soil mix with pumice, perlite, or coarse sand. Always plant in pots with drainage holes or directly into a well-draining landscape bed. Water deeply but only when the soil is completely dry.

Cacti can look slightly dull after a few days in a dark box. Color returns within a week or two of bright light. If your area drops below 40F, we recommend adding a heat pack to your order, as one is not automatically included.

San Pedro Cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi)

A legendary columnar cactus treasured for its rapid growth, striking green ribs, and towering presence. Available as a healthy, rooted, bare-root plant ranging from 6 inches to 35 inches tall, San Pedro is a fast-growing centerpiece for landscapes and collections alike.

Growth Habit: Tall, upright columns Bloom Season: Summer (night-blooming, white flowers) Dormancy: Winter Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade Soil Needs: Fast-draining cactus mix Hardiness Zones: 8b–10b Native To: Andes Mountains, South America

San Pedro is one of the fastest-growing columnar cacti, often reaching 12–18 inches of new growth per year. Outdoors, mature plants can soar up to 20 feet tall. Its tall ribbed stems and spectacular, fragrant white flowers make it a striking choice for both desert landscapes and container growing.

What you’ll receive:

A San Pedro cactus rooted, bare-root plant. Sizes range from 6 inches up to 35 inches. All plants are shipped carefully packed to arrive healthy and ready for success.

Please note: This listing is for a rooted, bare-root plant: it already has a developed root system and is shipped without soil or a pot, ready to plant on arrival. Some plants may have minor scars, which are totally normal. Any discoloration at the base is from previous healthy growth in soil and is not a sign of damage. Every plant is hand-picked and guaranteed to arrive healthy.

Cold Weather Warning

If your area drops below 40°F during the colder months, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order, as we don’t automatically include one. This helps keep your plants safe in transit. 🌡️❄️
