Len
Description
Len is a clone of the cactus species Trichocereus peruvianus. While specific morphological details such as precise rib count, spine length, and areole measurements are not fully detailed in the source discussion, the clone is recognized for its highly glaucous, blue epidermis. It is noted to share a very close physical resemblance to the prominent clone 'Sharxx Blue'.
History & Origin
Len is a Trichocereus peruvianus clone originating from Australia. It is frequently associated and compared with 'David', another Australian peruvianus clone of similar appearance. The original breeder, collector, or importer who introduced Len to the community is not identified in the provided records.
Cultivation Notes
No specific cultivation instructions for Len were provided in the discussion. As a glaucous T. peruvianus, standard cultivation practices for the genus apply:
- Use a highly porous, well-draining soil mix (typically 50-70% inorganic grit such as pumice or perlite).
- Implement a “soak and dry” watering regimen, watering only when the root zone has completely dried out.
- To maintain the intense blue glaucous coating (waxy bloom) on the epidermis, protect the plant from overhead watering and harsh, direct midday sun, which can weather the wax. Dappled light or light shade cloth is recommended.
