PPK 033 - Bridgesii Ribshifter x SASS Terscheckii

PPK 033 – Bridgesii Ribshifter x SASS Terscheckii

A premium rare cactus hybrid from Pedro Park (PPK), a world-renowned nursery and breeder based in Spain, celebrated for clean pollination practices and exceptional genetics. Registration 033 identifies this specific cross:

• Maternal Parent – Bridgesii 'Ribshifter' (native to Bolivia): A legendary clone prized for its unpredictable, asymmetrical growth — frequently shifting, adding, or dropping ribs to produce a dramatic monstrous column unlike any other.
• Paternal Parent – SASS Terscheckii (native to Argentina): The "SASS" lineage originates from the South Australian Succulent Society, an elite regional collection. Terscheckii contributes extreme trunk thickness, massive golden spines, and impressive frost tolerance to the hybrid.

Growing Guide

• Soil: Fast-draining cactus mix — combine 50% coarse perlite or pumice with 50% quality cactus soil for optimal drainage and root health.
• Sunlight: Full sun to bright indirect light; 6–8 hours of direct sun per day is ideal for vigorous growth.
• Watering: Water deeply, then allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

Please note: These seeds have not been germination tested. They are sourced from a reputable breeder and are expected to be of high quality, but germination success depends on many variables. All seed sales are final — no refunds for unsuccessful sowing.
