Nadir
Description
Nadir is a cultivar of Trichocereus pachanoi. It is highly regarded for its nearly spineless morphology, described by growers as being exceptionally close to a truly spineless cactus. It features typical T. pachanoi characteristics, including a green epidermis and distinct ribs with minimal to absent spination on mature growth.
History & Origin
The Nadir clone was introduced to the international community by “Tricholand,” a grower and vendor located in Spain. While the exact genetic lineage prior to Tricholand's distribution remains unverified, community members speculate that the clone may have been sourced from naturalized or feral populations growing in Spain, with some suggesting it can be found wild in different areas of the country.
Cultivation Notes
Nadir is reported to be a vigorous grower, performing well and putting on rapid growth when grafted. In the absence of specialized instructions, standard Trichocereus pachanoi cultivation practices should be followed:
- Use a gritty, well-draining soil mix.
- Provide deep, thorough watering during the active growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
- Position in partial to full sun, depending on local climate intensity.
- Protect from hard freezes.
