Note this piece exhibits only a small amount of the melting wax trait.

SAB forum member Jactus sourced a large quantity of cactus cuttings from Dawson’s Cactus Garden, Bendigo VIC, which he then sold to SAB Nursery. Jactus insisted that the JAC triple digit naming be used for any future clones from these cutting. Of course, when the melting wax trait was found amongst the cuttings JAC007 was born.

The JAC007 clone is a beautiful bridgesii which commonly exhibits the 'melted wax' or semi-monstrose trait. JAC007's tend to have fewer spines and displays a glaucous greenish colouration.

Syn: Echinopsis lageniformis; Cereus lageniformis.

Note: Orders containing cuttings may not be shipped the Tuesday following payment received as per usual procedure. This is due to the cactus being cut to order and dry weather is required to ensure rot does not occur.

IMPORTANT: Your cutting needs to be calloused before it is ready for planting. Keep the cutting dry for a week or two until the cut end has formed a callus, you can use a little sulphur on the end to help with drying and to protect it from rot, but it isn't a necessity. Once calloused you can plant your cutting. The process works any time of year, but cactus cuttings potted in late summer to early autumn root the fastest. Fill an adequately sized pot with specialty cactus soil or mix your own from scratch with extra grit added, coarse sand, perlite, scoria, or pumice gives the soil the appropriate drainage and aeration. Plant the calloused cutting in the prepared potting mix and top dress to prevent soil loss. Once potted, keep dry, do not water! Most cactus cuttings root in four to six weeks.
