kakteenshop-lophophora.de/ Hello cactus enthusiasts from Germany, Austria, and the EU! In this video, I'll introduce you to the phantom from Bolivia: Trichocereus scopulicola with the famous field number FR 991. This plant was discovered by Friedrich Ritter in 1959 and is now considered virtually extinct at its original location. I'll explain the fascinating characteristics of this botanical rarity. Mature specimens are completely smooth and usually have only 4 to 6 broad ribs. You'll learn why this genetic line is so sought after by collectors worldwide and what we pay particular attention to in preserving this pure Ritter line.
