How to grow the San Pedro cactus from seeds (also Peyote) 

Thanks to this channel I literally have hundreds of cactus babies.

I've got many coming up right now and let me tell you how I did it. I put them in a monotub used for growing mushrooms. I tried several different methods and got zero germination. Then, I put about 3 inches of soil in the bottom of the monotub. The monotub is a plastic tote with a clear lid. It has 3 large holes on each long side near the soil line and two holes on the short sides at the top. These are then stuffed with polyfil which causes high humidity, but constant fresh air exchange. They are ALL coming up.

I started 20 of the Pachanoi Cer-A1xKnuthianus seed you sent me. So far have 17 out of 20 poppin up. Thx for quality seed jerry!

Yessss Updated version!!! Always hyped to see a new vid up:)

I can attest to the quality of Jerry´s cacti seeds...I bought 20 seeds of two varities from him, and sowed them exactly ten days ago, This morning the first very tiny green points became visible on the soil. I have followed his advice as per this video: I sterilized the soil (in the oven, not in a pressure cooker) and mixed it with 50 percent Perlite. I used bottled water to moisten the soil, and wrapped the container with cling film (which I additionally secured with a rubber band around the outer rim of the box). The container was placed on the windows sill and covered by a sheet of kitchen paper, to avoid too harsh sunlight. the temeprature was around 20 - 22 degrees Celsius by day, and around 16 -18 by night. And voilá, the seeds came up. Thank you Jerry for all the work you put into your videos, and for the excellent quality of the seeds.

Jerry is the best. Order was delivered promptly and have only seen fantastic results. Thanks Jerry!

Very detailed and experienced advice from a dedicated master; Excellent.

Thank you for all the great work you do.

Happy to see new videos!!

This is exactly what I needed. THANK YOU 🌵💚

Thank you for sharing all this with us, this channel is a treasure

Amazing work mate! Looking forward to hopefully trying this one day soon!

Woah perfect timing! I’m going to sow my seeds this afternoon using instructions from you other videos, but now this one too! You’re a saint!

Those little babies are so cute!

Wonderful video for cactus seedings! 👍👍👍

Can’t wait to order some seeds ! Awesome video. I’ll definitely be messaging you for some seeds at some point !

Very informative! As always!

Thank You Jerry! I just bought a Pack 100. So many extra seeds. Not just the ones you mark as extra. Each pack of 100 had atleast 120 seeds and one almost 150. I have sown quite a few of them, and the ones I can count are germinating 24 of 28 and 36 of 40. The rest I can't get a good count but they are similar. I used this method and tried several soil mixes, vermiculite works well in Aurora CO. Thank you. !!!!❤❤❤❤

You Rock Jerry!

Thanks for the content

I bought some Bridgesii seeds from this guy. Great germination rate and they're growing great after almost a year. Highly recommend buying from him.

Great informative video 👍

Wow. Right as I ordered some seeds. Good timing.

I just discovered your Channel. Great work!

Another Great Video. Trying hard to wait patiently for the seeds I ordered from you to arrive. I can hardly wait to get them into soil, and germinated. May need more videos from you while I wait. Lol. Thanks for another great video. 👍🏼

I got 20 seeds from this guy, 19 out of 20 came up and are still with me 3 months later ......I think I'm set on cacti for awhile!

Thank you Jerry

Im ready to get mine soon. SPM is the best when it comes to this stuff.

Merci, j'ai planté 20 graines en décembre, je commence à voir les cactus sortir de terre. C'est beau, très lent mais tellement satisfaisant.

Sewed my seeds on 11/17/21 and saw results a week and a half later. Thank you so much! I would've never started this if you had not shown me how easy it can be!

Great video! Definitely about to hit you up

Thank you 🙏

brother)) greetings from Russia.... I use chlorhexidine for disinfection of soil and seeds.... thanks for the video!!)

Thanks Jerry, so nice to get those info. When you say 1 part of soil and 1 part of perlite, you mean in volume not weight, right ?. Perlite is a very light material.

Any books you recommend on how to grow from start to finish and learn all the other necessary information?

Thankyou for your videos! I watch them alot to try keep my Pedro's good. Can I sprinkle cinnamon over my seedlings or will that effect them?

hi, thanks for all that information. why do you advise against t5 leds? the tubes went out of production in august 23.

I planted my cacti about 3/4 weeks ago and little cacti are growing now. But when is the right time to change the cacti’s ‘climate ? When they just started to grow or a little bit later? And does the temperature needs to be above 20 degree Celsius? Thankyou for the video and information 😁

Yay new video!

Thanks for the video! Any experience/thoughts on grafting globular cacti onto columnar cacti for faster growth?

Do you have a guide with pictures for reading

PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS

Thank you for providing these! How do you get rid of fungus nats?

Is it possible to grow them in seed starter and germination box I bought awhile ago? Or should I use a smaller container with cling film?

Thank for all the help! Do you have any seeds available?

Hi Jerry. Great videos on San Pedro! Thanks :) How can I buy some seeds from you?

Sowing my first seeds this weekend using this method! I have a question about how low is ok for temps to drop at night. Is low 60s F ok?

How long should I run the T5 fluorescent light per day for germination?

Hey man, what do you say about right pH for cactus? Is it ok to use rhizotonic with cactus?

💚

can i put them under my cannabis grow led? why does t5 led not work? not enough brightness or is it the spectrum?

2:23 would pure peat and perlite work well?

Some of my seedlings are on their side. How do I know which side should be down and which should be up?

This may be a question for email, but do you ship seeds to the USA or just to the EU?

Why not T5 LEDs? That's what I bought and it seems to have the same characteristics as fluorescents? Mine is 2x2ft 60W 6500K. I put my seeds under it last saturday (21°C / 12hrs light).

Can I germinate in my veg area. It’s around 350 500 ppfd?

Can I use coco instead of potting soil?

When sterilizing soil, would you recommend mixing in perlite first? Or sterilizing then mixing? Since I'm very capable with a pressure cooker, I figured I'd sterilize my soil. Just wondering if you sterilize it after mixing with perlite or before. 🤔🙏✌🍄💚

Can I use boiled tap water UK Birmingham

What u think Is old? I got some seed i buy a year ahí.. are they old?

Why will T8 bulbs not work for this?

My seedlings are turning light in color and are dying rapidly, any suggestions?

Jerry from france

about to buy 1000 bridgessi seeds 💛

I started some old seeds (8 years) in pure hydrated coco coir. They are beginning to germinate, but I imagine I’ll need to feed them with fertilizer every couple weeks

Dis moi tu a déja fait pousser du aztkium ritteri ? Je voudrais essayer mais j'aimerais de conseils vu qu'apparament c'est difficile aussi tu a besoin de combien de temps pour faire germer du cactus de san pedro ? I write it in french because i think with your accent u are french , i can ask the same in english if you prefer

たくさんのサボテンを持ってるね。 お店でもやってるの？🌵🏬

Can a red sun burned seedling recover?

What is the reason for T5? T= Tubular and 5= Diameter. The temperature of the color doesn't change going from LED to Fluorescent and I don't see a reason for shape and size of the lamp making a difference aside from the obvious (not enough light or getting burned).

how many seed are necessary?

You say if you sterilize soil you leave them under the clear wrap for 6-8 months. But earlier in the video you say you have to remove the clear wrap completely and when they are 2 months they are more tolerable to dry soil. Which one is correct, these contradict. Could you please explain. Thank you.

Hi, I have about 30 seedlings here that have started browning recently. If overwatering is the issue, can I hold off from watering for a while and they might improve? They are not shrivelled, and do still have green in them, but have became quite dark. Hoping I can save them.....

I use a water conditioner for fish tanks to treat all my plants. One bottle can last you months depending on how many cacti you have. I also dust the compost after planting the seeds with powdered cinnamon to prevent mould or fungus growing. Do any of your seeds take months to germinated or is that only with certain species of cacti?

Where did you buy seeds from

I wanted to know, out of 20 only one has germinated. How should I proceed? Is it possible to contact you personally? Thank u ☺️

could anybody offer me advice i have to young cacti i have grown from seed but they have started to lean greatly almost growing horizontally is it safe for me to lean them back upright and support them with a toothpick or something?

Could I use a succulent mix in place of potting soil?

How fresh should the seeds be?? I bought my seeds about this time last year and I haven't had time to plant them, do you think they will still germinate??

Would suggest avoiding peat based compost as peat bogs are an increasingly scarce natural ecosystem.

My question is, why no wood pieces in the soil?

How to order your seeds and seedlings?

Do you have a different website now? Your old one has been down for a couple months.

My seeds wont grow further than 09:10 i dont know why

If only i could find seeds

Where is a reliable source to get seeds?

In our municipality, we do not add any chloride to the water supply. Instead, the water is filtered through UV radiation before it is delivered into the water grid.

Where can I get the seeds?

Could you use pumice?

Does anyone know any reputable seller that will ship seeds to Brazil? I found literally no ecommerces or shops for trustable seeds in my country..

I know the creator of this video has a friend in Olds Alberta that was helping me with some information but I can’t figure out the name of the shop?

Jerry I am not able to email you with that link. I have tried twice and no luck.

My seedlings are all red will they recover ?

Is pumice dust harmful for the cacti?

How do you plant san pedro horizontally

There are barely any videos on San Pedros. Please make a video showing fancy named clones and explaining the different names of them. We want to learn about juuls giant, super pedro, sopulicola, sharxx blue and other fancy high dollar ones :) PLEASE JERRY

Put your soil mixture into a mason jar with filter on top and aluminum foil over the lid so water doesn't get in. Put in a pressure cooker for 1 and 1/2 hrs at 15 psi. This will sterilize the soil. If you want to pasteurize the soil, which I prefer, put mason jar in pot of water at 150 degrees for 2 hours. This will kill harmful bacteria while leaving beneficial bacteria behind.

What do you mean "seeds that are unpollinated"? In my experience, the seeds don't get pollinated, the flowers get pollinated. The flowers will not set seed if they are not pollinated. Please explain what you mean. I think you mean to say something else.

Hola I'm looking for your contact to buy real San Pedro seeds . How can we get in touch

I did everything exactly how how he did it except I actually disinfected the soil and perlite mix in a instapot … I only sowed 20 seeds so we will see .. 10 days hmmm
