bridge kai
Description
“Kai” is a clone of the species *Trichocereus bridgesii* (syn. *Echinopsis lageniformis*). While specific morphological details such as rib count and spine length are not detailed in the discussion, it conforms to the general characteristics of the species, typically featuring a glaucous green epidermis and prominent spination. A variegated mutation of this clone is also known to exist in cultivation.
History & Origin
This clone originates from Australia. It is closely associated with Shaman Australis Botanicals (SAB) and is documented in the Entheogenesis Australis (EGA) classic clone catalogue.
Cultivation Notes
Standard cultivation practices for *Trichocereus bridgesii* apply. This clone prefers a highly gritty, well-draining soil mix, deep but infrequent watering during the active growing season, and dry conditions during winter dormancy. Variegated specimens of “Kai” should be grown in filtered light or partial shade to protect the sensitive, chlorophyll-deficient tissues from sunburn.
