Trichocereus Pachanoi 'San Pedro' Variegata

The San Pedro cactus, or Trichocereus Pachanoi (also Echinopsis Pachanoi), is native to the slopes of the Andean mountains primarily in Peru and Ecuador. In the wild, it is grown for its beautiful emerald green columnar form and fragrant dinner plate sized white flowers. The flowers bloom at night and are pollinated by bats, moths and bees before the flower close in the morning.  A very rare mutation of Trichocereus Pachanoi causes it to grow partially yellow. This variegation is caused by a lack of the chlorophyll in its cells, which normally give plants their green color.
