Philocacti Posted December 20, 2013 So I asked the owner of this cactus what it is and he told me it's PC pachanoi, but somehow it doesn't seem to look like any PC I've seen. I'm supposed to receive 2 pups of it What do you guys think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 magical9 Posted January 19, 2014 I dont understand how you can identify a PC vs non-PC pachanoi. can you explain? do you think my attached pics are PC ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Quixote Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I dont understand how you can identify a PC vs non-PC pachanoi. can you explain? do you think my attached pics are PC ? I'm no expert, but from what I've seen and read on these forums, I would say that your cactus is a PC Pachanoi. Looking at the shape, PC seems more serrated, 'True' Pachanoi has a more smooth contour. Also, it seems to have a deeper green colour than the PC version, but that might just be the quality of the pictures I have seen, not sure.

0 Philocacti Posted January 22, 2014 The way I see it, PC has thinner ribs, brighter green and the areols are like a "step" in the rib Pachanoi has fatter ribs, darker green (relatively speaking), and the areols are(somehow) in the rib Yours is PC compare it to the pic in the first post.

0 magical9 Posted January 22, 2014 I totally see it now thanks guys finally i can tell the difference! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mimzy Posted January 23, 2014 From what I've read pachanoi has such high variability in most features that its near impossible to tell them apart until it flowers. White hairs on flower/fruit = PC pachanoi, black hairs = true pachanoi.

0 magical9 Posted January 23, 2014 ya thats what ive heard as well. although ive read also that even the white hairs on the flowers go brownish pretty quick on PC from the sun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Philocacti Posted January 23, 2014 Hahahahaha, the owner of this cactus is NZ But yeah, I only found one clone of pachanoi here nd it's not a PC pachanoi, I still haven't seen a PC in real life, I was even thinking of purchasing one to see how it'll look in my weather and I also like how it looks ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 magical9 Posted January 23, 2014 ok so here are 3 sets of Pachanoi. Obtained from 3 separate locations from different people. I think they are all PC. What do ya'll think? the 5th one to the right looks fat and healthy. I think im just in denial because they are so healthy and fat i just wish they werent PC!

0 magical9 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) What about this T. Pachanoi? This is being sold as a legit Pachanoi NOT a PC. What do ya'll think? Sorry to bring up such a newb topic repeatedly. im just getting started in cactus/succulent collecting so im trying to learn everything i can.

0 magical9 Posted January 23, 2014 magical9, they all look like PC to me. ~Michael~ Interesting. Thanks for your time MS Smith I was hoping you would respond. If you get a chance can you help me with this guy? http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37419&p=451808 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted January 24, 2014 As you might have imagined I didn't respond because I didn't know. I'm not even certain it's a Trichocereus. Have you seen my flickr page? Here's a pretty T. pachanoi in Ecuador. ~Michael~ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted January 25, 2014 On true pachanoi the spines point downward, on the pc they point upward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
