Trichocereus cactus, now commonly referred to as Echinopsis in modern classifications, is a genus of columnar cacti native to South America, particularly found in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. These cacti are known for their tall, upright growth and impressive size, with some species reaching heights of up to 20 feet. Trichocereus cacti are also celebrated for their large, showy flowers that bloom in a variety of colors, including white, pink, and yellow. These blooms are typically nocturnal, opening at night and often only lasting for a single day. The flowers are not only beautiful but also fragrant, attracting night-pollinating insects and bats. Trichocereus cacti are well-adapted to arid environments, with thick, ribbed stems that store water and spines that offer protection from herbivores. They are popular among cactus enthusiasts and are often cultivated in gardens and collections for their striking appearance and dramatic flowers.
