Nailthesnail Posted March 24, 2014 Help me id this. My father got it for me as soon as he found out my interest in cacti. He said the people who he got it off said it was a trichocereus pachanoi but it doesn't look like it too me. What do you guys think it is? PC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 djmattz0r Posted March 24, 2014 Looks like a scopulicola to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 quarterflesh Posted March 24, 2014 interesting. waiting for more comments. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Quixote Posted March 24, 2014 I'd say bonafide Pachanoi. The pointy top probably is because of etiolation due to growing while rooting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 EthnoGuy85 Posted March 24, 2014 Def not a PC pachanoi. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Micromegas Posted March 24, 2014 looks like the pachanoi that turns up in nz from time to time (common cultivar there?). it sure is a nice one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted March 24, 2014 Interesting plant, features of both the non-PC T. pachanoi (waxy reflective skin and rib formation) and T. scopulicola (areoles and nearly spineless). ~Michael~ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Optimystic Posted March 24, 2014 I just got one that looks similar could probably pass for that plants sister... an old plant out of cali the only difference is the aereoles on yours look round and the aereoles on this one are ovals Not knowing much about scops, I think its definitely a Pach and definitely not a PC...The one I got is also nearly spineless and perhaps the same size as that... near the base has a few visible spines i've seen plenty of pics of spineless or nearly spineless Pachanois I was looking at scops on trouts pages and it does't remind me of scop at all eh better acclimate to brighter sun that tips starting to thin.. the big ones tend to grow b4 rooting 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nailthesnail Posted March 24, 2014 It's definitely a cutting I re potted it in the pot I was given and the roots are only just starting up. When I first saw it I thought it looked like a scop but scops are so much fatter, Could be mixed with one though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 hostilis Posted April 30, 2014 Almost looks like a stenocereus, but it's way too small of a picture to say for certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nailthesnail Posted April 30, 2014 The tip tells me its trichocereus but what would I know there is so much to learn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 hostilis Posted April 30, 2014 Sorry, i was talking about the second ID request. Yours looks like some kind of scopulicola hybrid. Def not PC though! Nice plamt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nailthesnail Posted April 30, 2014 Oh yeah, I am talking about the second id request. But as I said I wouldn't know! Thank you anyway sorry for the confusion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 hostilis Posted May 1, 2014 Oops, my bad. Let us know if you do purchase it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted May 17, 2014 I thought it was the proper spineless scop at first, but after the comment of Smith on the reflective/glossy skin I am having second thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Help me id this.
My father got it for me as soon as he found out my interest in cacti. He said the people who he got it off said it was a trichocereus pachanoi but it doesn't look like it too me.
