KR04
Description
Specific botanical details such as rib count, spine morphology, and epidermis color are not documented in the provided community discussion.
History & Origin
The clone KR04 is distributed globally, with specimens established in Australia, Europe, Peru, the United States, Mexico, Chile, and Canada. Huan Shuma is identified as the primary source of the original KR04 cuttings.
Cultivation Notes
Cultivators have reported that KR04 tips can be sensitive to rot during the rooting process. In the event of rot, the clone can be successfully salvaged by grafting the remaining tip onto robust rootstocks, such as the hybrid Cerdanyola A1 x Francis.
In 2022 (approx), Huan Shuma successfully crossed KR04 with Echinopsis calochlora, though seed stock from this cross is currently out of stock.
Community Discussion & Citations
The discussion primarily focuses on the global dissemination of the KR04 clone from its original source, Huan Shuma. Community members express significant interest in acquiring the clone and its genetics. A brief discussion on cultivation challenges highlights a susceptibility to rot during rooting, which was resolved via grafting. Additionally, Huan Shuma confirmed a past hybridization project with Echinopsis calochlora, though the resulting seeds are no longer available.
