Replanting a Cactus that is too tall or damaged. 

There are so many random facts on the internet now that are just not necessary. Plants survived out in the wild somehow without tiktok hacks for propagation hehe.

My dad used just any old garden gravel, or landscaping gravel. Nothing special about the gravel. Just any rocks would do to help with aeration and drainage.

First one is some sort of Columnar Cacti, and second one I believe is a Pilosocereus azureus or Brazilian Blue Cactus

I wish I knew, its a some sort of Columnar Cacti

I’ve found the name of the cactus it’s Pachycereus Pringlei. Found it on eBay while browsing. Thanks again for the video. I like the idea of using polythene instead of cardboard.😂🌵🌵🥰

Nope? You can let the end dry out a bit so it doesn’t rot. You can wait a while before watering.

Not right away, it will be more prone to drying out if you have two open wounds on both ends of the cactus. Its better to just split into two, and then splitting again if you would like to make more.

Do I need sterile gravel ? Is perlite any better? 😊

@@takeiteasy7062 I have had greater success with Perlite but kept it dry

@@kerriefearby9542 thankyou.

@@takeiteasy7062 Any gravel is good. You can give it a good wash too. I'm pretty sure the gravel we used was sitting outside for a while on the drive way hehe. Perlite can be added in to provide more aeration so a mixture is good but not a necessity.

True, but sometimes you have to make do with what you have.
