What to expect in the box

Your cutting is hand-picked from a healthy mother plant, wrapped in protective kraft paper, and shipped on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. It arrives without a pot or soil.

The base will look dry or calloused. That is exactly what you want: a cutting needs a sealed, dry base before it can root. Minor scars or pitting on the skin are normal for hardgrown cacti and are not damage.

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.

How to root your cutting

1. Let it callous. Keep the cutting upright in a dry, shaded spot for 2 to 3 weeks so the base fully hardens. Do not water it during this time.

2. Plant it. Set the calloused end 1 to 2 inches deep in dry, well-draining cactus soil. A terracotta pot with a drainage hole works best.

3. Wait, then water lightly. Hold off on water for about a week after planting, then water sparingly until roots take hold. Start it in bright, indirect light and move to full sun over a few weeks.

The Trichocereus Hybrid Red, also known as the Echinopsis Hybrid Red, is a columnar cactus, its large, vibrant red blooms that create a display during the warmer months. This hybrid combines is an excellent choice for both collectors and beginners. When in bloom, it produces giant, trumpet-shaped flowers that can reach 6 inches across, attracting pollinators and adding a burst of color to any garden.

Please note: This listing is for an unrooted cutting, a fresh segment taken from a mature plant. Cuttings need a few weeks to callous before planting, then they root readily in dry cactus soil. Some cuttings may have minor scars, which are totally normal and not a sign of damage. Every cutting 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. 🌡️❄️
