No one else seems to want to answer your question, so I'll have a go.
P. sp. 'Pachuca' is not a plant I grow. It is either considered a new species, as yet not formally named, by some or a form of P. moranensis by others. I would grow it the same as P. moranensis, dryish cool winter, wet warm summer in a standard Mexican Ping mix such as peat:perlite:sand:vermiculite (1:1:1:1). I have no idea how big it grows and you'll find pictures of it if you search at google

Cheers

Wow, thank you VERY much!!!
I don't really see the resemblance to moranensis... even the flower is alot more rounded...
The leaf margins are neatly curled too...

PachucA, ok... sorry for the error.
Thanks Vic!
 
So, what is with the funny nomanclature for this species? Is it not an official species yet, or is it a subspecies of moranensis, or what?

Thanks for the pics, VERY purdy! Hehehe...
 
All I know is that it was collected in a location called, Pachuca, somewhere in Mexico. That it has no formal name yet, that I am aware of.

P.sp. pachuca is not common, but it is not rare or new to cultivation. There are lots of mexican pings without formal names.
