Blue Achuma
Description
“Blue Achuma” is a clone characterized by its glaucous, blue-gray to blue-green epidermis. As an “achuma” (a term historically and locally applied to *Trichocereus bridgesii* and related species), it typically exhibits prominent ribs, sparse to moderate spination, and the classic columnar growth habit of the genus.
History & Origin
The precise origin of the “Blue Achuma” clone remains partially speculative. Community member Al Marks indicated that they acquired their specimen directly from Willie Tran. There is speculation within the community, suggested by Dan Hofstad, that the clone may have originated from the nursery Sacred Succulents, though this provenance has not been officially confirmed.
Cultivation Notes
No clone-specific cultivation requirements were detailed in the community discussion. Standard care for glaucous *Trichocereus* species applies: utilize a highly gritty, well-draining soil mix, water deeply only when the substrate is completely dry, and provide strong, filtered sunlight to encourage the development of the characteristic blue glaucous coating.
