As a Trichocereus clone, it is tracked within the community alongside related selections (such as Tripsis 3). ===== History & Origin ===== Tripsis 1 originates from the Australian cactus community, specifically associated with a member of the Shaman Australis Botanicals (SAB) forums known as "Tripsis". The distribution and naming of the clones in this series (including Tripsis 1, 2, and 3) involve Tripsis and another community member named Rodni. The numbering system functions as a clone tracking method or accession numbering system to distinguish different vegetative lines from the same source. ===== Cultivation Notes ===== No specific cultivation requirements were detailed in the community discussion. Standard Trichocereus cultivation practices apply: grow in a gritty, well-draining soil mix, provide deep watering during the active growing season allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings, and introduce to filtered or full sunlight depending on regional intensity. ===== Community Discussion & Citations ===== //Analysis of the discussion.// The community discussion centers on the etymology and origin of the "Tripsis" clones. Members clarify that the name refers to the SAB forum member "Tripsis" and discuss how the numerical suffixes (1, 2, 3) serve as accession numbers to track distinct clones, comparing the convention to historical systems like Karel Knize's "KK" numbers or Sacred Succulents' "SS" prefixes. ^ Date ^ Speaker ^ Confidence Score ^ Key Insight/Quote ^ | 2022 (approx) | Chad Kotke | 7 | "Chris Cosby they come from Tripsis, a SAB member if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if they named them or Rodni did, since Rodni sent me a plant he is deciding to call Tripsis 3" | | 2024 (approx) | Chris Cosby | 7 | "these are called accession numbers and are an old standard technique for the botanical sciences to label, track, and refer to specific forms of a particular species." | ===== Credibility Notes ===== Chad Kotke is rated 7/10 for providing specific historical provenance linking the clone to the SAB community member "Tripsis" and identifying "Rodni" as a key distributor of the numbered series. Chris Cosby is rated 7/10 for providing accurate botanical context regarding the function of accession numbers and historical naming conventions in cactus horticulture.
