Description:
Cactacea with columnar stem, tending with the growth to ramify at the base or, at times, to root in tufts around the mother plant. It is formed by numerous very protruding and close ribs, along which, from clear roundish areoles, emerge thin yellow thorns. They’re straight and turned both towards the radius and towards the outside, which contrast pleasantly with the bright green of the stem. The real highlight of this cactus is its inflorescence: considered perhaps the most beautiful of the whole genus Trichocereus, between spring and summer T. schickendantzii will amaze you with incredible night flowers over 20 cm long, formed by white and velvety inner petals, and thinner outer petals and a beautiful bright pink. The chromatic charm is enriched by showy yellow pistils, for an overall look to leave you truly breathless!

Plant care:
It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 6 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately, only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, once a month in autumn and to suspend watering completely in winter.
The best option is a soil suitable for cacti, even better if further mixed with pumice or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
