Trichocereus cuzcoensis

Trichocereus cuzcoensis (Cuzco cactus ) is very closely related to the Peruvian Torch (Trichocereus peruvianus). Trichocereus cuzcoensis is found growing only in the Cuzco region of Peru.

The cacti is not to be consumed as it contains the alkaloids; M, Dimethyl-M and anholine. In Peru it is consumed for shamanic purposes as often as T.peruvianus and has been reported to be similar to Lophophora williamsii.

If grown outdoors in summer, Trichocereus cuzcoensis enjoys full sun or afternoon shade. If kept inside it needs bright light, and some direct sun. It requires little water, but it needs good drainage.

Trichocereus cuzcoensis has a densely branched body and grows to about 6 m (20 feet ) and produces fragrant large white flowers.
