How to Prune Peruvian torch?
(Echinopsis peruviana)
Peruvian torch, also known as Peruvian torch
This columnar cactus, renowned for its ornate, night-blooming flowers and ribbed structure, thrives under targeted pruning measures. For peruvian torch, the ideal pruning period aligns with late winter or early spring, coinciding with dormancy's end and the onset of the active growing phase. Effective pruning involves removing dead or diseased segments by making clean cuts at the segment joints. This practice not only stimulates healthy growth but can also encourage blooming and maintain the plant’s attractive form. Additional care should be taken to prune with sterile tools to prevent infection.
