Its name in Greek literally means "hairy candle", making reference to its columnar bearing and downy areoles. They are the plants highly searched by cactus lovers. Its striking are not the flowers, nor the bright colors, nor the extravagances, but the linearity, the strength and the beauty contained in the variety of forms that each kind can assume. Its sobriety is not the only advantage, in fact the Trichocereus, in addition to being very resistant to environmental and climatic changes, are able to absorb electromagnetic waves, helping to purify the air that surrounds us and therefore to safeguard our health; so, why give up the desert charm that these “protectors of our health” can give to our gardens?
