How to replant a San Pedro cactus cutting ( Trichocereus Pachanoi tutorial ) 

Yeah, I’m getting into “gardening.”

your presentation was one of the best on the net true professional.

Very informative and clear. No nonsense, no fuss method I appreciate. He covers it all!

I have just started watching these videos and they are very informative. Excellent . I have grown a few cacti before but nothing for a while. I think growing cacti now is going to become a new hobby of mine.

This video solved a problem I have! I'm going to cut a San Pedro I was gifted that had gotten thin at it's thickest point and then do a Log style with the skinny parts!

This is the best video on the topic. Thank you!

I appreciate your efforts in taking the time to be thorough in the process of different applications for the purpose of planting

Your the man bro! 🌵 cacti are so cool. Love them all. This tutorial is good for many varieties. I have a Trichocereus Candicans. I didn’t let the cutting dry before planting , it took though:) I also did a successful double graft. I grafted two cuttings one on top of another in series and it took. The double grafted FRANKENSTEIN 🌵 has been alive for 14 years now. :) Thank you for taking the time to make this!

I needed this video. Thanks so much 🎉

Hi, thank you for this information. I'm in California and I came across a house with overgrown san pedro and they gave me as much as i wanted. So I found your information and i am truly grateful. thank you.

Thank you so much for all the great info! You are a huge help. Keep up all the great work!

This video is great, I'm going to assume English or your second or even third language, and yet, your communication in English is so good that I understand better than videos of native English speakers. Thank you.

I emailed you... many thanks, great channel!

Jerry please make a video about grafting the peyote on the San Pedro logsyle!

Great video, very informative! Thank you a lot, truly appreciate the effort you have put into making this video!

Oh my gosh thank you first video of yours I’ve seen I liked and subscribed ❤

this man is a legend

Can’t wait to buy one and grow these

Your videos are fantastic, thank you for the thoroughness and quality tips. Many thanks from Austin, Texas.

Hey always so good. Thank you so much for the wonderful video!

Many thanks for the instructions, amigo!

Excelente canal, yo estoy experimentando con algunos ejemplares.

I've found that water troughs are a great pot for planting log-style! Just be sure to drill or punch some drainage holes. I've got several foot-long dogs (now that they're grown-up "pups", right?) after only ~3mo, and the logs are still popping out new pups. They're inside under grow lights for the winter now and flourishing! I'll likely have to cut and propagate them within 2 years to keep them manageable. Just be patient in the first month or two and life, uhhh, finds a way.

Extremely informative video. Thank you!

Best video on the topic thank you very much

amazing video super informational

Very helpful friend, thank you!

Thanks a lots for the wonderful video , and helps .

Dig the videos man! Thanks for all the useful info.

Very good informative video thanks 🙏

thanks foe the content! :)

Very informative post. Thanks for sharing and keep on doing...

Very useful video- thanks so much!

your videos are an inspiration, thanks so much for making them. I do have a question. How many hours of sun per day should san pedro have?

Do you have to wait for the ends to dry out before potting? Also, does that rule apply to log style planting?

Thanks! keep making these please : )

Concise and helpful thanks!

great video mate! well done

Great video very interesting

Thank you for ur videos i have had great success growing it sideways

Question: at which size this plant is able to stand or tolerate the snow during winter?

Jerry, what size pot would you recommend for say a 8-10" cut?

Helpful. Thank you!

My cutting is now almost 18 months old. It has been grown from a middle cut placed horizontally, like a log. However, only one pup grew. The log piece is 5.5 inches and the 18 month old cactus is now 27 inches. Would there be a reason why other pups did not also grow, the pot is 16.5 inches in diameter so nice and big? And if I cut the 27 inch piece to propagate,how many pieces should I cut it into? I have read anywhere from 6-12inches.

So, while I have a cutting resting on perlite, do I keep it out of direct light while it's rooting, and should I be misting it? I took a cutting after using the base as rootstock to graft with, and dipped the cut end in #1 Hormex rooting powder, then allowed it to callous for a week, and have used straight perlite in the past, but can add ¼ soil to it. And, should I be misting the cactus periodically, wetting the rooting powder and such, or no? I've heard all different recommendations, and know you know cacti as well as anyone, so I want to do exactly what you do. I've always kept them out of direct light and would mist daily, at least with lophs and such. Just want to make sure I'm not doing anything that's hindering my success rate with any of these cacti. I'm sure the rooting powder isn't totally necessary, and they'll probably root no matter if they're in the light or not or being misted or not, so if that's the case, I won't deprive them of light for extended periods, or spray them down for no reason, if I can just keep them in my tent under full light as they root, or whatever (that way they won't etiolate, hopefully).

Excelentá

Do you have a video on how to make my columnar cacti more fat?

Do you water the potting soil when you put the cuttings on them?

Thank you sir!

Hi! Great video :) I'm new to cacti plants so I found your video very helpful. My end cutting doesn't have roots - they've been cut away and only a neat stump remains at the end. It's a single very tall san pedro. So, I plan to cut it in two parts - an 'end' part that will become a mother plant and a single long top cut to be rooted and potted on its own. the part i'm unsure about is the end cut and what i should do with the stump that doesn't have any roots. Should i cut off the stump, wait for it to callus and then plant - or should I leave the stump and follow one of the rooting methods you mention in this video?

Thank you for your great channel! Should you let your cutting's end dry out before you put it to soil or go straight to soil as soon as you cut it? I've heard both ways...

Thank you so much. Very informative. Are you a botanist?

Can I do this with booby cactus? I've made my cuts and waiting to plant. I know they are a different kind, but a neighbor moved and let us have half of her 40 year old cactus! It's gorgeous and I want to propagate for more! Thanks for your information, very good videos!

Thank you so much

Excelente

wow. thank you!!

Regarding method one, should I water it?

What if the base part has almost zero roots or roots that are dry from being found broken off on the floor? Would you suggest a bed the base and let it get roots before cutting or would you cut The dried root base off and take it from there? The channel is fantastic and very informative, do you send seeds to Australia?

When planting a cutting directly into the soil during winter in a northern country, should you water it at all to help root growth, or will this just make it rot?

First rate, thank you.

I probably missed it but how long should I wait until I water them, if they have no roots? With no roots I should just put them in the soil right? And then the roots will grow by itself? But when should I water them? Amazig work! 🙂👍

Did you ever do a follow up with the air pots? Did they get more roots? Love the channel!

@SanPedroMastery Thank you so much for this video it was such a great help. However, I heard you mention if the cactus has roots already do not water for 3-4 days after repotting. However, what if it doesn't have roots yet but has callussed and is ready to plant. Should I still wait 3-4 days before watering or how long should I wait before I water it?

Is it better to plant a newly calloused cutting with no roots in 100% DRY soil or in slightly moist soil?

Any suggestions for a good substrate mix for trichocerous?

How much direct sunlight should I give the cuttings after planting? I have them in only ab 3 to 4 hours of direct o ilive in northern California where the summers are hot at dry and Winters are mild but rainy

While repotting a san pedro cutting, do i have to water the soil once in while or not? Thanks for the videos!

i use the log method to root my cuttings but ran into the problem of catepillars eating along the bottom of the log were it is unoticeable until the cuttings start to rot the alkaloids in the skin doesnt seem to bother whatever caterpillar is eating them i have no choice but to grow them indoors with less light

I have a top cut that has roots trying to grow out of it, approximately 1 foot long. Can I plant the top cut three to 3 inches deep?

I just got a few San Pedro middle cuttings in the mail... one had a tiny spot of rot on the bottom callous.. used a sterile tomato core to scoop it out... then I put cinnamon on the wound.. I have it forming a callous a few feet in front of a small fan .. I just purchased cocofiber to start roots ...can I just place it on the coco fiber... should I midt the coco fiber a bit or is it fine just to leave it alone with no mist?

I have San Pedro 10 cm top cutting that started to rotten on the top. can it still be planted or maybe to cut off the rotten top?

Do I need to keep a top cutting that is on perlite/soil out of direct sunlight while it’s rooting?

Thanks

How often do you water cuttings if you let it sit on top of soil ? Its spring here melbourne .. Thanks again sharing knowledge ...

So is it safe to water an unrooted cutting if its planted in airy, coarse and very well draining soil?

I have a domed piece. I put it in pearlite to try to root it. It has a fuzzy little knob on the side that look like a root ball growing. Should I cut that off and plant it?????

Hi I live in northen Canada and I have been growing lophophora species for many years now and I am new to RU-vid as well as the internet so I've never had any information or tips on growing them I learned everything from trial and error from learning to figure out which with the best Lighting systems I recently this year started making my own lights with different types of LEDs which have been far superior to any metal halide or high pressure sodium or any type of fluorescent. t5s is what I was using prior which were working great but nothing compares to the new style of LEDs with the right spectrum for cacti. Three of the species of loaf of phora I have I can't seem to find any info or other ones like them. One of the species grows spines instead of Tufts of fur and when it flowers it flowers a dark purple flower with a light pink stripe the other species I have gets very large and when it flowers it will flower a yellow or orange flower and well fruit all year round. All three deserts where I collected the seeds of these cactuses no longer exists one of the cactuses is now a small town another was turned into a cattle ranch and another was also developed into a housing community I'm quite sure that nobody else has any of these three species have been looking very hard I would love to share some seeds with you and would appreciate if you could look at my video and check them out thank you

thanks

Thanx fr ur video. We r in India. How can I planting plz tell me .I like very much cactus

Is there any concern about making a cutting while the cactus is blooming? I was about to make a cutting, and then noticed that I have quite a few flowers beginning to bloom. So now I'm conflicted. I've looked and looked for the answer to this. Thanks!

hi , I'd like to ask you if I can put my cutting in just pomice or perlite in order to make them root ? instead of using your mix of 3 parst perlite and one part soil , then do you keep the cactus cuttings out of the direct sun light when you're tring to make them root ? how moist must be the soil when the cuttings are just stared to root ? thank you so much for your useful videos

Used some buffered coco mixed with half coco half pearlite heavy on the pearlite a SMALL spoon of crushed organic fertilizer mixed in just to give coco some nutrition in a green boulder cup (aldi 's brand)n I watered after re potting doh! I will see what happens and not water it for a while least week or 2 we will see it is inside 72% rh 72-85max f. Any ideas in what I should do?

I have a little black spot on my cutting, what can I do?

I have got some large cuttings with large girth. It is winter here, and it may reach -5 C for a few hours at night. Does it only postpone the rooting process or it may kill the plant? Should I wait 2 months and plant them early in spring?

How long does it take to root?

May I ask you a question? I am rooting myrtillo crested cutting right now (sorry it is not pachanoi, yet I think it is somewhat the same as both myrtillo and pachanoi are columnar cacty), and I am gonna choose your first method : just to put the cutting on the soil and not burrying it... my qurstion is, should I water the soil or not? Oh, fyi, I live in Indonesia, a tropical country... thanks in advance...🙏🏻🙏🏻
