Down the Trichocereus rabbit hole. Cactus Mutants & San Pedro w/ special guest @Prickocereus

The cactus community is filled with many types of collectors and today I'm focusing in on a new friend of mine Jeremy better known by his IG handle @Prickocereus Jeremy has been growing and collecting columnar cacti for the past 3 years and in that time has gone deep done the rabbit hole. In todays video he will help to shed some light the topic of the San Pedro Cactus as well as give us a tour of his home nursery where we encounter a variety of mutant mytrillos, Bolivian torches and a blue girl named Althea. No she is not a Smurf & no I didn't drink any cactus tea.
I hope you enjoy the video...Please consider supporting the channel by purchasing something out of my online shop. Really appreciate y'all being here. thank you.

I'm 19 and and have been collecting trichos for more than two years, I hope that some more younger guys will come into the community, because it is truly my favorite hobby that I ever had.

[@CactusQuest]

Hoping to put it out there with this video to help show the trich community in all its glory. Good hobby to be into wish I had it when I was 19 may have saved me from some bad choices I made in those years.

[@Trichocereus]

Brother I’m 23 here been collecting since 18 years old. Big facts the greatest hobbie to be part of

[@Binksterz420]

Been collecting since 16 and I’m still collecting 😎🌵

[@altstadtvlogs3324]

what’s the insta i’m 20 and been at this for a year but not a lot does well here

[@desertweasel6965]

Awesome!! I sure wish I had started at that age. I didn't start till 45 so I have to buy bigger cacti if I'm going to be able to enjoy them. I'll be dead and gone and if I have a choice and know I'm getting close, I want to have all my cacti planted somewhere where they can carry on my legacy. I really do think about this, because these cacti will out live us all and I don't want some hippie dismembering my cacti just to get high. If he does I hope it gives him the shits for a week.

Here is person that has made good use of his space. Thank you for sharing.

[@liorsilverstein9802]

yeah that mexican is living with a lot of beautiful cacti

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

You talk of feeding them, when I'd go fishing with minnows, and some would die, I'd bury them in the roots of my cacti. Seems like they'd get pup after pup after I started doing that.

[@SanctuaryGardenLiving]

I absolutely love Trichocereus, they are beautiful plants.. It's also a great cactus community!

Thanks for watching Kristi! Glad your enjoying the videos. Appreciate it.

[@st.petersCA69]

Man this is off the hook! I'm 62 and feel like I'm just getting started. Hope I make it to 100.

[@lorirober2536]

Really nice collection. I respectfully disagree about growing cacti indoors. Here in the east many of us have a room with huge windows. Along with grow lights, I have many large, healthy specimens that have been doing well for 5 years and several moves. All of my homes have been in the mountains so I don't use air conditioning, I just move everything outside in the summer When you love cacti, you are willing to do the extra work.

[@RugMann]

Im in the same boat, but I've just started. It's encouraging to hear someone more experienced having success in the same circumstances

[@tradertom4843]

Man appreciate you so much for posting this, what a banger! Love how you guys talked about it being cool to collect these things and not having to be a tripper or landscaper

[@whitneyhemphill464]

I wish I could like this video 50 times.. So many varieties and the knowledge Jeremy has on these wonderful plants was very enlightening. Thank you.

[@deankarras7340]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing the Trichocereus love with a wider audience. Jeremy is the man!

[@jo-anne.j.s.8888]

I also just turned 40 and never thought I'd love cacti... I only started collecting since the pandemic hit... Now I have my own small greenhouse built 😅... I'm your follower from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@jamescarr2156]

Jeremy is an amazing guy. Ive bought 3 cactuses from him. I think what was so special about him is he explained everything so well. Every answer ended up with a different cactus to show. I learn and love his passion more after speaking with him

[@RandomChannel916]

Great episode. Jeremy and his awesome collection representing the Trich community!

[@eazypeazy33]

Love to see other collectors of everything cool and beautiful. From rare plants, cactus, to rare books, & cards.

I'm enjoying this😌👌🌵Great conversation and amazing Trichocereus🙏🌟

[@adamvega9007]

If you could get a tour of Ben Kamm's Sacred Succulents (in Occidental) that would be SICK

[@gomerzpyle6805]

Maybe when they get out of hiatus mode. And thanks to the destabilized polar vortex (winds, rain and fallen trees and probably some frost damage) that probably won't be likely for a couple of years. Maybe he could arrange for a specialty pickup and capture that.

[@ljaykoko7596]

I have been waiting for centuries. Now there you are.

Love Cactus especially Succulents. Not a collector just want few of the rare ones in my backyards. I don't want to turn into hoarder. Sometimes it's so attempted lol. I still love this guy's Cactus

[@alexiapons2883]

I live in the Tropics. It rains, basically, all year long. In the rains season, we can have rains every single day of the week. My cactus will die in a week i I would let them stay outside. Mine are on a covered Gazebo with a transparent roof, that let the sunlight to come through, but the rain stays out. They are doing great so far.

Will do! Thanks

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

Behind the farinaed Cereus are an extra spiny columnar cactus that I didn't recognize and a hairy columnar Cactus with a cephalium to its left, I'll ask for names now and then check the text with the title to see if you provided names, that's an overwhelmingly amount of cool, the giant padded Opuntias in the front yard I'd like to know more about but I'm only at a minute from the end so hopefully they're covered too. So many wacky morphs that I did not know existed.

[@jordanbeyer3194]

You gotta sip the tea man

[@CactusQuest]

I’m getting ready to actually

[@sunflowerbadger]

I grow these guys in a greenhouse in Southwest of the UK. They love it, especially with their roots direct into the ground. I have experimented with one outdoors but my dog knocked it over and the slugs finished the job. Phase 2 of this experiment is underway. I'm guessing they're used to sub zero temperatures but not as much rain as we get, so I'm planting it on a mound to aid drainage. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Your collection is supreme! ❤

[@grunge-mb9sb]

Once you have a few trichos you just have to have them all guess its like my sons pokemon.

[@CactusQuest]

that's how it goes

[@BigDG80]

Awesome video!!! 💕🌵 ~I wish I could find other tricho growers in my area of Florida without using social media.

[@jamiecurran3544]

Absolutely stunning, so many different colours and shapes, they truly are beautiful man!😃✌️

[@charlescarabott7692]

I have a few hundred trichos which are all really basic original Pachanois, Peruvians and Bolivian torches. From a few inches high to about 4 ft. Mostly from seeds and a few cuttings which I bought from German and dutch online sellers. Most of my Pedro's are planted in the ground in full sun. They get some sun burn but they adapt to it. Plus I think that's the best way to increase their mescaline content

[@ClwnJuNkY]

My brother has this 4 pointed trico . Its a elephant in the room at his house . Sends out the most amazing flowers every year

[@walterblanc9708]

Wish I had the room for a quarter of that lot, great video, so many strange ones.

[@ekane506]

great video! great collection!!!

[@ploppymonstylee7907]

Hi ,you have a fantastic garden. I live in New Zealand in the rainforest a have a well established cacti garden, predominantly of the 'San Pedro' varieties. It's always good to see other gardens that reflect the love of those who tend them. I'm particularly interested in the correct name of the cacti that you were observing at the 7min mark? I have many of these , the tallest being around 6-7 meters. It is not a common variety and cacti books can be vague or misleading in regard to the correct name. From experience though it yields BY FAR the highest amount of goodness. Thanks

[@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke]

trichocereus bridgesii

[@ploppymonstylee7907]

@@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke awesome ,is it Peruvian? And is it also known as "Cactus of the four winds' It is the only one that I have seen that occasionally produces four ribbed columns.

[@DWreck958]

Jeremy M has one of the best trichocereus collections in North America hands down.

[@Alex_Wentworth]

Love the columnar cacti but that tree is magnificent. The opuntias are incredible as well

[@slotrey]

so good

[@oscarvargas1986]

Great video thanks 😊

[@Josh-hf5zt]

Yeah this was the hobby i was looking for

[@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke]

Awesome! They may not excite the trippers out there, but I find blue columnars pretty, so I love my pilosocereus most of all (azureus, magnificus, leucocephalus, bradei)

[@nathanielvargas3863]

When I first saw this video I couldn’t understand why someone would buy all of these, “big, green sticks.” After seeing a wide variety of Trichocereus in person I’m totally convinced that I need all of them. ❤ 🌵 ❤

[@jacksonsmith5490]

Coming through very loud on camera, maybe work on audio balance for the garden tours. Absolutely beautiful plants, and I love the way your channel is moving.

[@CactusQuest]

Always trying to figure out the audio properly. It’s a work in progress. Thanks for the heads up and kind words.

[@oldkingcrow777]

I've just gotten into cacti, had one for a couple years that i loved but killed, and finally decided to really educate myself and give it another shot. Its just so frustrating when you invest time and money and fail, and I'm up in NE US so i have to be smart with media choice, season that i put em outside etc. Been just putting it off 😂 Got a wild hair up my butt and got a bunch of succulents and cacti, gonna try way more from seed since its way cheaper if I fail. Btw, at 21:49 its "coy-ur" haha. That's the "official" pronunciation from the etymology. I went probably 10 years of using it before i learned that 😂

[@carpy1252]

Three years!? That's incredible.

[@pauhy5601]

@Cactus Quest, the notches/ridges on the cactus plants can also be called nodes that are similar to Dragonfruit plants which are parts of the cacti variety species?.
