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.

So sexy!
These are so sexy! I just discovered Schutz and this is my first pair. I have been a Stuart Weitzman devotee for years and ordered the Nudist for my wedding. Had to return them because the strap was too large on my narrow foot and I kept sliding through. That's when I found the Schutz - Cadey Lee. They feel stable and well-constructed. I usually wear a 7 in heels so that's what I ordered. The length is perfect and my foot doesn't slide through the toe strap. They're not quite as tall as the Stuart Weitzman but they're every bit as beautiful and 1/4 the price! Haven't worn them for a long period of time yet so I can't report regarding the long-term comfort. I'm considering wearing them in my wedding in a few months so we'll see....

This is a beautiful sexy sandal leg lengthening and just gorgeous. I am a true seven and after reading reviews of pinched toes etc I sized up a 1/2 size to a 7 1/2. What a beautiful surprise! They fit like a glove! My most comfortable dress shoe! Ordered another pair love them so much. I highly recommend this sandal but size up 1/2 size for a perfect fit.
