just took a cutting. can i cut this in half again?
    #11262408 - 10/16/09 08:34 PM (14 years, 3 months ago)

just took a cutting off of my almost 20 inch san pedro cutting. i planted it when it was 7-8 inches above the soil, then it grew up all skinny at a total height of somewhere between 17 and 20 inches.

i decided to chop it off right below the area where it started getting small. so now i have this



this cutting here is about 13 inches long. i was thinking about cutting a 5 inch piece up from the bottom, and letting everything callous up, then plant both pieces. would that work, or should i just leave it as is and plant it when its done callousing up?

I don't think re-cutting it in half would cause any problems, I rooted cuttings much smaller than 5-6". As long as they have some "flesh" left they should root, but to be safe never cut under 5-6".

Yes, as long as each cutting is around 6" or so you should be fine... They can even be a little smaller... It's merely recommended to not let columar cacti cuttings be below 6" because their growth rate is substantially decreased if any smaller than that. So, to make sure that your cuttings grow nice and fast, each one of them should be around that.... If you want you can even LOG GROW THEM!!! (I LOVE these pictures... Check it out... )

whoa. thats crazy. a friend of mine has a bunch of cuttings hes taken off the same cactus over the past 4 years, and hes got one of them laying down like that. i had never seen that before. guess its a good way to grow?

i think im going to cut this one in half, so both of them will be around 6.5" long. and let them callous up for a month. i let the big one callous up for at least 3 months before planting. then once i planted it, it took off like crazy.

i plan on getting a 150 HPS or MH light for indoor growing. bet thatll make em get huge!!!

You gotta tone it down on the bumps mate, 3 bumps in almost 30 minutes is a little excessive.

just use the edit post button :thumbup:

Not a terribly big deal, it just pushes other peoples threads down off the page who might not get answers they're looking for.

It's more etiquette than a rule, although it is in the rulz :tongue:

Did you repot it later?

Your spindley growth is most likely caused by lack of root space.

It varies from plant to plant, but a good rule of thumb is that however much growth is on top, there should be the same amount underground.
