Known as the “South American Saguaro,” it grows tall and stately, with thick ridges and striking spines that command attention.

A true collector’s specimen, it can grow up to 15–25 feet tall, becoming a dramatic centerpiece in any arid garden or modern landscape.

It’s drought-tolerant, low maintenance, and stunning in both groupings or as a standalone feature.

🪴 Perfect for:

• Desert & drought-tolerant gardens

• Modern landscaping

• Large patio containers

• Architectural plant lovers

  Argentine Saguaro Care Tips (Trichocereus terscheckii)

  ☀️ Light

  Loves full sun — at least 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily. Outdoors is ideal, but young plants can start on sunny patios or bright indoor spots.

  💧 Water

  Water deeply but infrequently. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. In winter, water very sparingly or not at all.

  🪴 Soil

  Use gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add sand or perlite if needed. Avoid heavy or moisture-retaining soils.

  🌡️ Temperature

  Cold-hardy down to around 20°F (-6°C) when mature and dry, making it more adaptable than most large cacti.

  🌱 Fertilizer

  Feed during the active growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted cactus fertilizer once a month.

  🔁 Repotting

  Repot every 2–3 years to refresh soil and encourage continued healthy growth. Choose a sturdy, well-drained container for young specimens.
