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.

My favorite low socks ever
Fit Type: Classic Fit, Color: Gray Assorted, Size: Large
Under armour adult essential Lite no-show socks are 96% polyester and 4% spandex footwear of imported origin. The polyester content of the socks enables them to hold their shape in a better manner along with having a non-absorbent nature. Additionally, it enables the socks to retain the colour in a better manner. Spandex improves their fit along with helping them last for longer time. The flat fit construction of UA Men's Essential Lite is so designed to conform to foot for superior touch and feel. The material wicks engineered within the fabric dry sweat quickly and keep the feet fresh. The embedded arch support further keeps you going by reducing foot fatigue. The set comes with 6 pairs of socks with pull on closure for the perfect fit. Ultrathin lightweight construction of the socks adds to user comfort by allowing users to conduct physical activity and work out while wearing it. Elastic strength of the socks prevents them from slipping down irrespective of the shoes they are worn with. The socks come in 8-12 men shoe size and 9-12 women shoe size. They can be machine washed and are extremely durable while being cost effective. I ordered the socks based on their colour and design symmetry. So far my socks have been through multiple washes and still look new and user ready. I wear them daily because of their amazing fit and plan to buy more as Christmas gifts.

Love these socks!
Fit Type: Classic Fit, Color: Black, Size: Large
They are a little on the thin side, but that is how I like them. Thin, comfortable, breathable, but still sturdy. They work great for me and I have bought them several times for me and my kids over the years.
