pach bk10805.1
Description
Based on community observations, pach bk10805.1 is a *Trichocereus* clone that superficially resembles the Predominant Cultivar (PC) but exhibits distinct morphological differences. Notably, it lacks the characteristic “sawtooth” rib profile associated with PC and features very small (tiny) areoles. There is community speculation that if a specimen of this lineage presents with a green epidermis rather than the typical glaucous blue, it may represent a natural, non-human-crossed hybrid between a limanoid *pachanoi* and a native *peruvianus*.
History & Origin
This clone is reported to be a field-collected specimen originating from Cochabamba, Bolivia, collected by Ben Kamm (BK) of Sacred Succulents. It has circulated within the collector community via Ryan Dailey, who distributed specimens to other growers, including Christopher Mills.
(Note: While the community discussion also references other Ben Kamm accessions, such as the Peruvian BK08612.4 associated with the “Los Gentiles” and “IcarosDNA” lines, these represent a geographically distinct lineage from the Bolivian origin of BK10805.1.)
Cultivation Notes
While no specific cultivation requirements were detailed for this clone, it has been described by growers as an exceptionally consistent plant to work with. Standard care for Bolivian *Trichocereus pachanoi* applies: utilize a highly gritty, well-draining soil mix, provide deep watering during the active growing season allowing the medium to dry out completely between waterings, and acclimate to strong, filtered sunlight or full sun depending on regional intensity.
