Introducing the crested San Pedro cactus, also known as Echinopsis pachanoi cristata (Trichocereus pachanoi cristata), is a unique and rare variety of Echinopsis pachanoi because of its crested growth pattern. This crested form adds an extra level of visual interest to this already stunning San Pedro. Native to the Andes Mountains in Peru and Ecuador, where it thrives in high altitudes and arid conditions, this extraordinary San Pedro cactus is a true sight to behold.  

This crested San Pedro cactus, which grows slowly, has a stunning fan-shaped stem that forms as a result of cristation. It can grow up to 3 feet tall and develops over time into jaw-dropping brain-like mounds, with the stem displaying vivid shades of green to bluish-green when it is young and dark green when it is ripe. It has whitish areoles that sprout up to seven spines ranging from dark yellow to light brown – talk about an edgy fashion statement! It also produced large white San Pedro cactus flowers during summer. 

San Pedro Crested is a unique and fascinating cactus variety that is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Propagating this Echinopsis plant can be done through various methods, such as grafting or taking San Pedro cactus cuttings from the crest. Additionally, it is a friendly plant for both pets and humans. It contains mescaline, an alkaloid that has tremendous healing potential and produces psychedelic effects. 

Watering Needs

The watering needs of the San Pedro crested cactus are similar to those of other cacti. It is important to remember that cacti are adapted to survive in arid environments with limited water availability. 

To keep your crested San Pedro cactus healthy, it is best to water it sparingly. Allow the soil to completely dry between waterings to avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot. During the growing season, typically spring and summer, you can water the cactus once every two to three weeks. In the dormant season, which is usually fall and winter, reduce watering frequency to once a month or even less. 

When watering, make sure to thoroughly saturate the soil, allowing the excess water to drain out completely. Avoid leaving the cactus sitting in standing water, as this can also lead to root rot in your Echinopsis pachanoi cristata. 

Light Requirements

The crested San Pedro cactus thrives in bright sunlight. It prefers to be placed in a location where it can receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. This cactus variety is adapted to high-altitude regions in Peru and Ecuador, where it is exposed to intense sunlight. 

When growing the San Pedro crested cactus indoors, it's important to place it near a sunny window or provide it with artificial grow lights that mimic natural sunlight. If you notice that your San Pedro cactus is stretching or leaning towards one side, it may be an indication that it is not receiving enough light and needs to be moved to a brighter location. 

However, it's important to avoid exposing this crested echinopsis to extreme temperatures, especially during the hottest part of the day. If you live in a region with scorching summers, it's a good idea to provide some shade or protect the cactus from intense afternoon sun. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The San Pedro crested cactus requires well-drained soil to prevent root rot. To promote drainage, a suitable soil mix for this Echinopsis pachanoi can be a blend of cactus potting mix and perlite or pumice. Avoid using normal potting soil since it holds too much moisture. Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized cactus potting mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy plants.  

When it comes to fertilizing the San Pedro crested cactus, it's best to do so sparingly. During the growing season, you can fertilize the cactus once a month with a balanced, water-soluble cactus fertilizer. Overfertilizing can lead to excessive growth and may harm the San Pedro cactus. Remember, it's important to allow the cactus to rest during the dormant season, typically in fall and winter, and refrain from fertilizing during this time.  

Hardiness Zone & More

The San Pedro crested cactus is hardy in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It can tolerate temperatures down to 20°F, but it's best to protect it from freezing temperatures. In terms of temperature preferences, this cactus San Pedro thrives in warm to hot conditions, ideally between 70-90°F. 

When it comes to humidity, the crested San Pedro cactus prefers low to moderate humidity levels. It can tolerate dry air, but it's important to provide some humidity during hot and dry periods, such as misting the cactus or placing a tray of water nearby. However, be cautious not to create excessively humid conditions, as it can lead to fungal issues. 

Overall, the San Pedro crested cactus is adaptable to a range of temperature conditions, but it's important to protect it from freezing temperatures and provide some humidity during dry periods to ensure its optimal growth and health. Be sure to add Echinopsis pachanoi Cristata – crested San Pedro cactus for sale to your collection today and elevate the beauty of your home or garden, with this stunning-looking plant.

"I ordered Christian fairy tales on the internet and they sent me Hans Christian Andersen ones by mistake!"---Ned Flanders
Format: Paperback
As was first done with "Simpsons Comics Hit The Road," "Simpsons Comics Get Some Fancy Book Learnin'" actually follows the theme of the title and cover art. All the comics have the Simpsons characters portraying figures in literature from Greek Mythology to Shakespeare. The longer comics are very well done but some of the shorter ones at the end fall flat. Still, I enjoyed this change of pace from the usual Simpsons comics. It offers a very clever use of characters. "Greek To Me"--Homer plays, well, Homer (the Greek poet) who tells four stories to a gathering of children. The first is "The Labors of Hercules" with Bart as Hercules. He only completed 10, but hey, 10 out of 12 is a B+ which is the best grade Bart ever got. In the second story, Homer is Hades who abducts Marge...er, Persephone...and is taken to court over it. In the third story, Selma is Medusa and Perseus (Bart) has to cut of her head or face 100 years detention. Finally, Homer tells a string of Aesop's Fables like "The Fox and the Grapes," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and--my favorite--"The Ant and the Grasshopper" where Homer is the grasshopper and Flanders is a hilarious-looking ant! There are a lot of clever lines in this one, especially Barney as Oedipus. "Pandora, Jr."--A 5-page comic with Lisa explaining the story of Pandora's Box to Maggie. Maggie doesn't learn the lesson. Fairy Tales--Ralph plays Humpty Dumpty in a 2-page short, then there are a string of Hans Christian Andersen tales that Lisa saves from the Flanders's book burning BBQ. Lisa reads the stories to Rod and Tod. There is "The Little Mermaid", "The Prince and the Pea" (featuring Smithers and Mr. Burns), "The Shadow" (featuring the Comic Book Guy), "Thumbelina", and "The Story of a Mother." My favorite is "The Ugly Duckling." I like the scene where Marge the swan takes in the ugly duckling Bart saying, "It's not like I haven't compromised before," while watching a fat Homer swan swigging beer and burping. Arabian Tales--Dunyazad (Marge) tells King Shahryar (Moe) stories to keep from being put to death. The first one is the best. Ned Flanders is Aladdin who finds a lamp containing an incompetent genie (Homer). His wishes grant him an all-you-can-eat buffet and go-go bar and an angry wife Maude brought from the dead in skeleton form. The other stories are "Apu Baba and the Four Thieves" and "Sinbart The Sailor." Shakespeare--Plays parodied are "Antony and Cleopatra," "Julius Caesar," "Henry V," "Romeo and Juliet," "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," "Richard III," "Titus Andronicus" (in Itchy and Scratchy cartoon form), and "King Lear." Most of these, in terms of punch lines, are pretty weak. Bible Stories--Bart tells Rod and Tod some Bible stories to calm them down after they find out Sunday School is canceled. The stories parodied are "The Prodigal Son," "Abraham's Sacrifice," and "Noah's Ark." These comics were, on the whole, funnier than the Shakespeare ones.
