Trichocereus peruvianus ‘Rosei #1’ x Trichocereus peruvianus ‘Sharxx Blue’ 10 Seeds

Description

A peruvianus cactus cross of Trichocereus peruvianus ROSEI #1 x Trichocereus peruvianus SHARXX BLUE. A seed cross from Australian breeder Adam Noble.

Trichocereus peruvianus Rosei #1

Rosei #1 is an Australian clone originating from Fields Cactus Collection in Victoria. Rosei#1 has much shorter spines than Rosei#2 and is often bluer, however the difference is minimal and because the environment can have a huge influence on the look of a plant this is not a reliable identification tool. The name Rosei was used in very old cactus literature to label a certain, very blue type of T. peruvianus / E. peruviana.

It was obviously in use when Fields received the cuttings and the name Rosei is still used by his son. Both clones are part of the Fields collection and came to Australia in the early days of cactus trading. Mr. Fields was one of the supporters of Harry Blossfeld’s South America expedition and got the plants as reward for the support. SAB forum member PD played an important part in making the Rosei clones available to the Trich community.

Trichocereus peruvianus Sharxx Blue

Sharxx Blue is an Australian clone originating from the Dawson’s Cactus Collection. It was distributed and named by SAB forum member PD after another SAB member Sharxx. It is a fat growing, short spined peruvianus that is always extremely blue and glaucous. It is highly likely a peruvianus from Matucana as it is very like the known Icaro DNA, the Los Gentiles, and the Rosei’s.

Germination Tips: To germinate Trichocereus peruvianus Rosei#1 x Trichocereus peruvianus Sharxx Blue seeds it is best to use a container with drainage holes. Takeaway containers work well with holes punctured in them. Layer with high quality potting mix and top layer with zeolite – layers of 2 cm each is fine. Sow seeds on top of the moist zeolite, do not cover seeds.

Place this container into a sealed, larger clear container with water in its base. Prop up the seed container, so it isn’t sitting in the water. The humid environment you create with containers will keep the seeds moist from then on. Place lid on and do not remove. Do not water again until re-potting is needed. Removing the lid will destroy the humid environment you are trying to create.
