What to expect in the box
You will receive the exact variegated San Pedro pictured, about 18 inches tall with its variegated pup, rooted and shipped bare without soil or a pot. After arrival: unbox with thick gloves, the spines are sharp. Let the plant rest in a shaded, dry spot for 2-3 days, then plant in a sandy, fast-draining mix or a gravelly full-sun spot. Wait about a week before the first watering so the roots can settle, then begin a normal soak and dry routine. Some scuffing of spines in transit is normal and does not harm the plant.

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.

This is the exact plant you will receive. A one of a kind variegated Trichocereus pachanoi San Pedro, about 18 inches tall, with a variegated pup about 3 inches long at the base, grown in the ground on our farm in Fallbrook, California.

Bright yellow and green stripes run the length of the stem, and the pup came up striped too. Variegated San Pedros turn up only now and then among thousands of green seedlings. This one has character: the stem leans and curves in a gentle S and is narrower near the base, and some yellow sections have a few small marks. It is healthy, rooted, and growing.

It ships rooted and bare root with the pup attached, wrapped and padded, without soil or a pot.

  • Light: Bright light with afternoon shade. Yellow sections can sunburn in hard sun
  • Water: Low. Soak and dry, keep it dry in winter
  • Hardiness: USDA zones 10 to 11, protect it below about 30 F
  • Growth: Moderate, a bit slower than green San Pedro

Want a green one? Our regular San Pedro listing has rooted plants grown on the same farm. Not the exact plant pictured. Shop San Pedro Cactus.

Please note: This is a rooted, bare-root plant shipped without soil or a pot. You will receive the exact plant pictured.

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. 🌡️❄️

Product Details

Cactus Care

Variegated San Pedro wants bright light without hard afternoon sun, sharp drainage, and a dry winter. The yellow stripes have less green to protect them, so ease it into sun.

  • Light: Bright light with afternoon shade, or morning sun. Yellow sections can scorch in hard summer sun, so move it into more sun slowly.
  • Water: Soak and dry. Water deeply in the warm months, let the soil dry completely, keep it dry in winter.
  • Soil: Sandy, fast-draining cactus mix in a pot with a drainage hole, or a gravelly bed.
  • Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 9 to 11. Protect it below about 30 F, the yellow tissue is more tender than green.
  • Feeding: A diluted cactus fertilizer once a month in spring and summer.
