harvesting and wintering t.bridgesii and e.pachanoi
    #18785047 - 09/01/13 12:10 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I've got two potted cacti
One column of t.bridge (pic)
and the second, two columns of e.pachanoi and a pup (pic)

It's nearing the end of summer with mornings getting down as low as 8C (~45F) and I'd like to harvest and winterize shortly.

What is the best way to harvest the top portion of the cactus without damaging the remainder?
Is it correct that the cactus will continue to grow pups after harvest? I assume the main column will stop growing, and I don't think these cactus branch?
How should the cactus be stored for winter to best prevent etiolation? (Etiolation from the past winter is visible on the t.bridge already)

Cheers :cactus:

You can harvest trichocereus by cutting it with clean knife and it will heal it self.

Leave few inches of stock with roots to pot and cactus starting to pup more offshoots later when growth season begins. Damaging tricho by cutting it is very easy and plant doesn't suffer from it.. Make sure you have clean knife and just cut what you want for consumption.

As I look pictures.. If you are measuring dosage by looking the length of the section.. Diameter effects to it so smaller the diameter is, more cacti material you need as length. I know from experience that thin sections of trichocereus cacti are as potent as fat sections, you just need way more longer sections to get as much mescaline containing cactus flesh to use.

+8C at morning.. what is night temps?

+8-10C for me is normal temps at mid-summer night or morning here at arctic circle in the greenhouse. :dancer:

I have only possible to grow cacti without heater to greenhouse only two months of the year tho, rest of the year I have to use heater for night frosts and then keep most of the time them insdoors :lol:

..cool bridgesii and san pedro cactus you have, should be potency there.

After trichocereus is cut, it forms new branches from the top of aerole where the spines are. There is example from small cacti what has been failed as graft so stocks has started to grow new columns. Bigger cactus will not take serious damage when you cut it.


Preventing etiolation when you storage cactus at winter, give it small amount of light and +10-15C temperature.. Also keep it dehydrated and give water only when it starts to shrink too much. Without water and cool temperatures and some light will keep cactus in dormant. If temperature rise and light is lacking your cactus starts to grow and etiolate. If you can't offer temperatures low, just keep it without water long time and water only when seems it's dehydrating too much or water spray small amount of water but don't water it like as summer.
