====== SG01 Medusa ====== ===== Description ===== Specific botanical details such as rib count, spine length, spine color, areole characteristics, and glaucous epidermis color are not documented in the current community records. However, as a selection from Icaros DNA seed, it is genetically a *Trichocereus peruvianus* phenotype. ===== History & Origin ===== SG01 Medusa was selected as a "keeper" phenotype from a population of approximately 1,000 seedlings. The plants were grown from Icaros DNA seed sourced from the vendor Zen Seeds via eBay. Initial cultivation and grow-out of this clone is credited to the Reddit user Starseedcreator. ===== Cultivation Notes ===== No clone-specific cultivation requirements have been recorded. Standard care for columnar *Trichocereus* (*T. peruvianus*) applies: utilize a highly gritty, well-draining soil mix, water deeply only when the substrate has dried completely, and provide strong, filtered light to full sun depending on regional intensity. ===== Community Discussion & Citations ===== //Analysis of the discussion.// ^ Date ^ Speaker ^ Confidence Score ^ Key Insight/Quote ^ | 2026-06-21 (approx) | Julian Friedman | 8 | "Icaros seed from Zen Seeds via EBay.
