Xerophyte

Description

The Trichopsis are intergenic hybrids involving a plant of the old genus Tricoceresus and one or more species of the genus Echinopsis (or Lobivia), but since all those genera are now reclassified as Echinopsis, that makes this an Echinopsis hybrid.Trichopsis are very popular hybrids that develop really amazing flowers of different colours on the original columnar Trichocereus body and many of these hybrids have cultivar names. This plants form spectacular specimens with several large-sized flowers at a time, and are quite a sight. They are often similar in habit and size to Trichocereus with thick, strong, larger-growing columnar stems, but also they shows a mix of characteristics from both the parents. Most of these hybrids can grow outside all year in mild climate and can take a lot of sun. Hardy from -4° to -12° C, depending on clone.
