release_alert Low Stock - 1 available
Echinopsis peruvianus f. variegata (syn. Echinopsis macrogona) is a variegated columnar cactus displaying stable yellow and green patterning along the ribs. (Trichocereus) Each plant shows a unique variegation pattern, making every specimen visually distinct.
Supplied as a juvenile plant, this form develops into a tall, upright column over time. As with most variegated cacti, growth is slower than standard green forms and balanced light is important to maintain healthy colour and structure.

- Water: Water during warmer months; allow the mix to dry between waterings
- Temperature: Warm growing season; protect from frost
- Media: Very free-draining cactus mix with a high mineral content
- Feeding: Light feeding during active growth only
