I would say it's worth at least looking, because sometimes you find something pretty rare and nice in the Trichocereus world, but don't get your hopes up. I find very reasonably priced other cacti that I like, like Obregonia Denegrii, my first Eastern Prickly Pears (shoutout to Jerse圜acti) and even sometimes well-priced Ariocarpus. Honestly, I think Etsy in 2021 is crap for buying San Pedro Cacti. Here are my experiences:Īs you probably know, or maybe you don't, I sell art on Etsy, so I'll start with that as I have experience as a buyer and a seller there, and also to include that link above which is good for SEO (want web-based marketing tips? I've got'm lol) Not for consumption, of course! Just because they're beautiful, and you want to know you're getting a real one. That said, the wide variety of collection locations, phenotypes, etc, it's easy to get lost in the weeds there.Īt the end of the day, you're just looking to get a San Pedro cactus. Those in-the-know are aware of the numerous and passionate debates that one can make to include more species, crosses, etc in this. These are the ones that, at the time of writing, have known historic use by pre-columbian native andean people. In terms of San Pedro cacti, generally we're speaking of Pachanoi, Peruvianus and Bridgesii/Lageniformis. That said, they're a pretty decent resource in terms of learning some key characteristics to look for when IDing cacti. I'll be updating my infographics soon because there are just so many ways to slice and dice data and information, and the more you learn, unlearn, relearn, repeat, the more I want to clarify some of what I've learned and presented in the past, and provide more detail. I highly recommend feeling relatively confident in IDing cacti to help you out in this process. I am not claiming to be an expert, just a guy who collects cacti and doesn't live anywhere near their native or naturalized range (except for my homie Opuntia humifusa, only cactus native to my home state!). There are reasons to and not to use each one. If you are online, which, by reading this you must be, you likely have some sort of marketplace app available to you. Here are some tips on buying San Pedro cacti like Echinopsis/Trichocereus peruvianus, pachanoi, bridgesii/lageniformis etc in 2021.
You've read about them, you've seen pictures, and now you want your very own.
