San Pedro cactus

Echinopsis pachanoi 'San Pedro cactus'

Cactus are a varied grouping of plants that range from columnar to stout and spherical to twisted, and with plenty of variation in between. Native to arid regions, cactus have evolved to expect lots of light and very little water. Cacti are also, generally, very easy to care for and want to be left alone so they are an excellent option for a forgetful plant caretaker! San Pedro cactus is a charming plant native to the Andes mountains in Ecuador and Peru. You may be familiar with San Pedro as psychedelic plant medicine, usually taken ceremonially under the care of a guide. While this plant has a history of consumption in its native range, it can also serve as a sweet ornamental accent in your space.
