Help with ID

Post by gritty »

Hi, I am new to the forum, and would like an ID for this plant if possible. It was started from seed about 8 years ago, and sat on the bench neglected for years. It is growing and is about 10" tall. I tried an internet search, the closest I could find would be something like Stenocereus gatesii. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you, Joe

I think it looks like an etiolated Echinopsis spachiana (Trichocereus spachianus).
They are quite easy to grow from cutting, lots of offsets/branching from the base). Lovely big flower

Thanks Bryan, looks like Echinopsis spachiana from what I could find on internet search. A lot of these cacti look very similar to me.
