Peru Blue 3
Description
“Peru Blue 3” (also referred to as “blue Peru #3”) is a glaucous, blue-skinned *Trichocereus* clone, presumably of *Trichocereus peruvianus* lineage. Detailed botanical descriptions regarding rib count, spine length, and areole spacing are not well-documented in the provided community records, though its name indicates a prominently blue epidermis.
History & Origin
The breeder, origin, and introduction history of “Peru Blue 3” remain unconfirmed. There is unverified community speculation suggesting a potential synonymy with the clone “BP03” (which some growers associate with “Pink Elephant”), but this connection is not formally established.
Cultivation Notes
No specific cultivation requirements were detailed in the discussion. As with most glaucous *Trichocereus* species, it is typically grown in well-draining mineral soil, requiring wet-to-dry watering cycles and bright, filtered light to maximize its blue coloration. Grafting is utilized by some growers for propagation and accelerated growth.
