Growing  Peruvian torch from seeds

• The Peruvian Torch (Trichocereus peruvianus) cactus is best cultivated in a sterilized mix of sand, perlite and gravel (or peat).
• Clean and desinfect the growing container. Be sure to add small drainage holes in the growing container to help reduce chances of over-watering.
• The environment should be humid and ideally around 23 °C (73 ºF), but do not place the growing medium directly on a heater.
• Don’t let the young cacti get in contact with direct sunlight; fluorescent lighting is preferred for the first 3 months.
• Only after the cacti are a year old should they be placed in direct light.
