BOTANICAL SAMPLE - NOT GERMINATION TESTED

 Life cycle: Perennial

'Huancabamba' is a tall, stately, columnar cactus from Peru, said to be a Peruvian torch cactus (Trichocereus peruvianus). Closely related to — and possibly a hybrid with — the more well-known San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi), both species have a long history of use as medicine and in spiritual/shamanistic practices. Like San Pedro, this species contains mescaline, the hallucinogenic substance that gives peyote its potency, though torch cactus contains far less mescaline than peyote and is legal to grow and possess. Huancabamba is a town in northern Peru, in the foothills of the Andes, and is widely considered a major spiritual center thanks to the presence of lagoons above the town that are regarded as sacred as well as the large number of traditional healers (curanderas & curanderos) who practice there.

Peruvian torch cacti are fast-growing (up to 18 inches per year) and can get very tall in the wild (up to nearly 20 feet!). They take well to container culture and can stand being overwatered more than most cacti. They are relatively frost hardy, able to withstand temperatures down to 26 degrees, but they are unlikely to be able to survive year-round below USDA Zone 9. Their white flowers are spectacularly beautiful.

We got our seed from our friends at Sheffield's Seed Company in Locke, NY, who report that it was grown in Florida. There are some questions online about whether or not the 'Huancabamba' strain of Peruvian torch cactus is actually a hybrid with San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi), so it wouldn't be unexpected to find some diversity among the seedlings these seeds produce.

GROWING TIPS: Seeds are surprisingly easy to grow, needing no pre-treatment of any kind. They do require light to germinate, so they should be surface-sown. Keep moist until seedlings appear.

Cute, Comfortable, and Kid-Approved
Size: 10 Toddler, Color: Pink
These Amazon Essentials hook-and-loop athletic sneakers are very pink, so they may not immediately read as “unisex” in color. That said, at this age range, kids’ shoe sizing is the same for boys and girls, which is likely what the unisex label refers to. The shoes fit true to size and are well made. The craftsmanship is solid, with neatly applied seams and glue and no rough edges. The stretchy laces are permanently closed, which keeps them tidy, while the Velcro strap opens wide enough to make it easy for kids to put their feet in and take them off independently. Comfort-wise, these are a win. The inner heel has good cushioning so the shoes don’t rub or scrape the foot. The insole is flat but soft, and the toe box shape works well for most foot shapes. My granddaughter finds them very comfortable for everyday wear. The uppers are made from a nylon-type material combined with soft faux suede, which gives them a nice look and feel. Overall, these sneakers are cute, comfortable, and well made for the price, making them a great everyday shoe option for toddlers and kids.

These Amazon Essentials sneakers are really nice! The quality is very good, and the size fits perfectly. The color looks exactly like the picture, which I appreciate. They’re lightweight, not heavy at all, and my child walks comfortably in them. They also look very cute and go well with different outfits. Pros: • Good quality material • True to size • Lightweight and comfortable • Color matches the photos • Stylish design for kids Cons: • The soles could be a little softer for extra comfort Overall, these are great everyday shoes for kids affordable, comfortable, and they look great
