San Pedro Cactus
Cereus Repandus
The plant, by the plant
Yeehaw, partner. I'm the San Pedro Cactus - a columnar classic from the high Andes, where I've been growing on mountainsides for a few thousand years. I bring genuine wild-west silhouette energy to sunrooms, patios and bright corners, and unlike most cacti, I actually grow fast: up to 30cm a year when I'm happy.
Care is gloriously simple: the sunniest position you own, water only when my soil has completely dried out, and sharp drainage always. Overwatering is the only duel I ever lose.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- X-Large - 250mm nursery pot, a substantial columnar specimen
Pets & kids: I'm prickly by profession - admire from a respectful distance.
Consult a Moisture Meter before every watering (I'd rather be thirsty than soggy) and stand me tall in a Jardin Terrazzo Pot in Grey.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Care tips
One of the easiest plants to grow. Enjoy your San Pedro Cactus both indoors and outdoors by providing enough natural light to the plant. Fertilise during the warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
