About this plant

Grafted TBMC. Comes with the bracelet.

Care for a grafted plant

Unpack the day it arrives, take off any pup that grows below the join, ease it into full sun.

Full care notes

Unpack right away. Take the plant out of the box the day it arrives and brush off packing material. A plant that arrives cool, wrinkled or light is fine — it is just thirsty. Soft is a different thing: soft flesh means rot, and that is what the 48-hour guarantee is for.

Grafts. The plant you paid for is the one on top; the rootstock under it is a different plant. Any pup that comes up on the rootstock below the join has to come off, or it starves the plant on top.

Light. Bright light, but ease into full sun. It has just spent a few days in a dark box, so give it shade with plenty of ambient light for a few days, then half sun, then full. Going from shade to hard sun in the space of a week is enough to scar a plant permanently.

In the collection

Also written TBM-C

The famous Trichocereus bridgesii monstrose cristata. Every crest folds its own way, and no two plants end up alike. In California full sun, established plants grow dense and full as long as the watering is kept right.
