Variegated San Pedro Cutting

Variegated San Pedro has light yellow variegation caused by a lack of chlorophyll in the plant cells. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil mix. It is native to the slopes of the Andes of Peru and Ecuador.

You can plant them in a beautiful pot and place them in an area where they can get enough sunlight to thrive. Unlike any other cactus, variegated San Pedro can handle more water and fertilization than other cacti. Allow the soil to dry before watering them, and make sure there is an excellent draining hole in the pot to prevent root rot.

Variegated San Pedro is toxic to animals, so make sure not to mingle with them. You can propagate them via cuttings.
