Guru (Rooted Plants)

This is the mother plant you will be getting a rooted cutting from.

'Guru' primarily refers to a specific clone of the San Pedro cactus, Trichocereus Pachanoi. Here's what's known about it.

Origin: It's a New Zealand Trichocereus Pachanoi clone. It was released by a well-known New Zealand grower named Ross Gurau. This is likely where the "Guru" name originates.
Characteristics: "Guru" is described as a "gorgeous" Trichocereus Pachanoi that can develop interesting growth forms over time, sometimes going "full on freak." It's highly regarded by enthusiasts.
Availability: Like many specific cactus clones, its availability can fluctuate. It is sometimes listed as out of stock by online vendors specializing in Trichocereus.
Cultivar Status: "CV" in this context stands for "cultivar," meaning it's a cultivated variety that maintains its distinct characteristics through propagation.
In the Community: "Guru" is a recognized and discussed cultivar within the San Pedro cactus community, particularly on forums like Reddit's r/sanpedrocactus, where growers share information and experiences about different clones.

It's important to note that while "Guru" is a specific cactus cultivar, the term "Guru" can also appear in other, unrelated contexts when searching about "cactus." For example:

"Cactus Guru Te" might refer to a product or brand.
"Guru dos Carros" is a Brazilian automotive blog that discusses the Citroën C4 Cactus.
"The Houseplant Guru" is a blog about houseplant care, including Easter cacti.
"GuruFocus" is a financial news site that recently reported on Cactus (NYSE: WHD) acquiring a controlling interest in Baker Hughes' Surface Pressure Control Business.
"Cactus Life Sciences" is a company with an office in Mumbai on "Guru Hargovindji Marg."

However, when you see "cactus CV 'Guru'", it almost certainly refers to the Trichocereus pachanoi clone originating from Ross Gurau in New Zealand.
