0 chilli Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Would someone please briefly explain specifically what features make this a peruvianus rather than cuzcoensis? Edited December 20, 2012 by chilli 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 naja naja Posted December 20, 2012 it's weird, i'll try and find the cutting this came from, it's dying sumwheere at my parents place, it really did look like a spach, alot skinnier, spikes close together, now with diff growth conditions it looks alot healthier.

0 Stillman Posted December 21, 2012 see without seeing the old growth on your plant CT I would have said peruvianus. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 chilli Posted December 23, 2012 see without seeing the old growth on your plant CT I would have said peruvianus. My thoughts too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 CorzahazarD Posted December 23, 2012 I would say cuzco too, from what I've read the peruvianus has more honey/brown spines and becomes glaucous, where cuzcos have white/gray spines and remain pretty green. also looks like the main long spines grow at different heights on the areole too, cuzcos look like they grow more from the centre of the areole perus look like the grow closer to the top of the areole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Stillman Posted December 23, 2012 T cuzco is most probably a sub species of T peruvianus, and alot of colour and spination length of individual plants can be put down to environmental factors.. I still think its a peru maybe let it grow another foot and it will be more apparent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
