Octive x Althea (Yearlings)

This is a very nice cross that looks a bit different from the others in my greenhouse.

Octive:

This may be a relatively new cultivar as I am unable to locate any good intel. Please reach out to email@sanpedrodepot.com if you have any information you care to share with the community.

Althea: - "Althea" is a specific and highly prized cultivar of Trichocereus Peruvianus (or Echinopsis peruviana). It's known for its desirable glaucous blue coloration and robust growth. It is a beloved Icaros clone released by GeeBee who is known for naming all her cultivars after the Grateful Dead. Althea is among the bluest, most stunning of the rare Peru's.. 

Therefore, "Octive x Althea" signifies a hybrid created by cross-pollinating these two particular cactus varieties. This results in a new cactus that carries genetic traits from both "Octive" and "Althea." These kinds of hybrid cacti are very popular with collectors that are looking for unique aesthetics.

Information regarding these cultivars is often shared within online cactus communities and forums. It's important to remember that with any hybrid, there can be variations in the resulting plants.
