San Pedro “PC” (Predominant Cultivar)

Description

Why San Pedro PC is the Industry Standard

While many collectors seek out rare hybrids, the San Pedro “PC” (Predominant Cultivar) is the backbone of the cactus community for several reasons:

Low Maintenance Landscaping: Because it is highly adaptable to various soil types and watering schedules, it is the most reliable choice for outdoor gardens in hardiness zones 8-11. It handles full sun and partial shade with ease, making it a “set it and forget it” plant for many.

Superior Grafting Performance: If you are working with slow-growing species, the PC variety acts as a high-pressure pump. Its robust vascular system pushes nutrients to the scion, significantly cutting down the years required for a specimen to reach maturity.

Pest and Disease Resistance: Unlike more sensitive clones, the PC is notably resistant to fungal spotting and rot, which is vital for growers in humid environments or those just starting their journey.

Planting and Growth Expectations

When you receive your San Pedro PC cutting, you are getting a piece of a legacy clone known for its vigor.

Growth Rate: In optimal conditions, these columns can grow 12 to 24 inches per year. Mature Features: As the plant matures beyond 5 feet, you will notice the beautiful blue-green glaucous hue and the classic serrated profile created by the wavy notches. Flowering: Expect large, nocturnal white blooms that can reach up to 9 inches in diameter, adding a dramatic flair to your nighttime garden.
