Hillside Scopulicola
Description
“Hillside Scopulicola” (often referred to as “Hillside Scop”) is a virtually spineless variety of Trichocereus scopulicola. The most notable botanical feature of this clone is its floral morphology: while the inner petals of the flower are white, the outer sepals and tepals exhibit a distinct pink coloration that is significantly more pronounced than in typical T. scopulicola specimens. This frequently leads to the clone being colloquially described as having “pink flowers.”
History & Origin
This clone originates from South Australia, where it was sourced from a local nursery named 'Hillside Herbs'.
Cultivation Notes
No specific cultivation requirements were detailed in the community discussion. As a typical Trichocereus scopulicola, it generally thrives in well-draining soil mixes with a high inorganic fraction. It prefers deep but infrequent watering during the active growing season and should be kept dry and cool during winter dormancy. It performs well in full sun to partial shade, though protection from intense afternoon sun may prevent sunburn on its smooth, spineless epidermis.
