Trichocereus Peruvianus (Peruvian Torch Cactus)
is closely related to San Pedro Cactus, but much less
common. Trichocereus peruvianus is similar in appearance,
but has longer spines and has a darker color, sometimes
being blue. Trichocereus peruvianus grows much like
san pedro, but, amazingly, it seems to grow faster and
be even more hardy.
