Botanical Overview

The Bolivian Torch Cactus belongs to the Echinopsis genus, previously classified under Trichocereus. This fast-growing, columnar cactus features 4 to 8 deep ribs, adorned with golden-brown spines that can reach up to 3 inches in length. During the blooming season, it produces large, fragrant white flowers that open at night, attracting pollinators such as moths and bats. The funnel-shaped blossoms can span up to 8 inches in diameter, adding to the plant’s striking appearance. This species is closely related to other columnar cacti such as:
  • Trichocereus pachanoi (San Pedro Cactus)
  • Echinopsis peruviana (Peruvian Torch Cactus)
Its natural habitat includes high-altitude deserts where it thrives in arid, rocky environments.
