High Priestess
Description
“High Priestess” is a clone of Trichocereus bridgesii (syn. Echinopsis lageniformis) characterized by its striking glaucous blue epidermis (“blue bridge”). While specific rib counts, spine configurations, and flower morphology remain undocumented in the initial discovery reports, it is described as a “giant” cultivar, suggesting a robust growth habit with thick stems typical of mature T. bridgesii specimens.
History & Origin
This clone originated in Los Angeles, California. It was discovered by Eric Merida and Jackson Marchant, who located the mother plant growing concealed inside a privacy bush.
Cultivation Notes
No specific cultivation details were provided in the original community discussion. As a Trichocereus bridgesii cultivar, it is expected to thrive in a well-draining mineral soil mix. To preserve the intense blue glaucous coating on the epidermis, growers should avoid overhead watering and provide strong, filtered sunlight. Protect from severe frost and high humidity, as T. bridgesii can be prone to humidity spots.
