👑 Verne’s KK242 — XL 12” Tip
XL 12” tip here. Clone info:  KK242 Trichocereus cuzcoensis is a collection number by the Peruvian seed & cactus seller Karel Knize. He is know for his many Trichocereus species and KK242 was one of them. But it´s not actually a species because we grew all kinds of different species from those KK242 seeds. Most were Trichocereus cuzcoensis, but that´s definitely not the complete story.
Most of the plants labeled as KK242 are representative for a very typical Trichocereus cuzcoensis. However, the KK242 is simply a collection name that stands for the area where the plants come from. And within that area, there are all kinds of different populations and all were sold using the same name. This one came from Verne’s collection.

Why the “👑“?  This means Kingstock, extra primo, and is usually only applied to named clones (though on rare occasion, I apply it to a hybrid listing). if a Kingstock listing doesn’t sell (due to higher price) it will do 2 good things - 1) it keeps the shop populated with content when other inventory runs out, and 2) it keeps on growing in my garden 💪
Instruction for Cut-To-Order cuttings —> lay this on its side indoors in a dry place for a minimum of 2 additional weeks while the sulphur-coated callous fully hardens (do this before ever placing upright in dry medium).

The cactus you see here is the same cactus you get. I only sell healthy cactus, but there’s always a chance of minor blemishes, marks, black stress blisters, scars and imperfections. All plants are hard grown rough-n-tumble withoutÂ
