Bridgesii planting options for the winter
    #19237707 - 12/06/13 05:53 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hello!

I recently received 4 Bridgesii cuttings and instead of sending them to the chopping block, I have decided to plant them and let them grow for a year to promote larger yields. Due to a shipping error on my end, it took about a week longer to get to me and one of them has a little mold from the box getting wet.

I figure I can just cut the infected area out and let it callous over to replant it. Should be fine right? Also, those with experience in planting these could I consolidate them into one large pot? I want to do this merely for convince and space. I live in the harsh tundra that is Minneapolis and I want to ensure that they at least stay healthy if potted.

Do you think that leaving them by a window in a room with around 70F ambient temperature would at least keep them alive during the winter months? I would like to avoid buying any lamps right now just because of the cost. What do you all think?

Here are some pics.





thanks!

Yes, cut away the moldy bits and let them callous completely. Then put them in a rooting medium of your choice, place them in a warmish, lightish place, and keep completely dry until spring! During this stage they can be all in the same pot. There are many ways to root them, you can put them immediately in the soil they will be growing in, or kitty litter, perlite, empty clay pot etc. They are dormant during the winter, so no lamps (or water) are needed.
Then in spring, put them in a rich, porous substrate, place them in direct sunlight and begin watering.

Awesome. Just the reassurance I'm looking for. So when spring comes along, would it be best to give them each their own pot respectively?

Thanks for the quick response.

You can grow trichocereus in same pot, especially if they are same clone plants bu as well as different strains of trichocereus can be grown in same pot.

If you have space to give each own pot, then do so. :bow2:

But you can plant then next to each others and grow a pot with few columns together. :smile:

Just be careful not to give the plants sun burn or anything of that nature when reintroducing them in the summer

Pups are more preferable for winter cause they need a lot less light to grow. But it really comes down to what you have to work with as far as lighting and heating equipment.

Okay the cuttings i can get are 30-40cm, do i cut them in half when they come so that i can root the 2 tops halfs and have them grow and have the other 2 middle cuts to pup up over time, also how long does it take for a middle cut to pup after its rooted and is it best to cut at an angle for a middle cut (ive seen some nasty pictures of rotted cactus due to straight cuts on middle cuts

Dude, I just got a bridgesii cactus in mail and temperature are now -37C.

Day when I got parcel of trichocereus plants was -22C frosts and they were fine.

Once I have forgot a parcel of lohophora plants to mailbox to -20C temps and they were okey when I got them. Plants has been almost 6months already in dormancy so I think it saves them from dead.

Anyway, all these parcels has been packed good with isolation to prevent cold. So well lophs spent ~15-20hours in arctic at -20C but mealybugs in the lophs was alive anyway.

But damn, the lophs felt cold when touch... :lol:

You can get a plants even there is serious frosts around if cacti spent dormancy and parcel is isolated good.

People fear the frosts or cold too much when sending a plants in parcel, if it's packed correctly and plants are in dormancy, they are very tough. If you buy a cutting of trichocereus, it's probably dehydrated and tolerate more cold compared to plant with own roots and you don't know when it's watered.

Anyway, my plants was perfect condition and actually I am waiting special crests and mutants in a parcel even outdoor forecast temperatures has been said to be at -40C tomorrow.:thumbup:

About cutting the trichocereus, make sure your knife are clean, no need to be so sterile what grafting needs. If you keep plants covered from rain you can do full horizontal cut. Cactus are usually cut to angle to prevent raining water not to stay to fresh cut, if you are in dry no matter how you cut cactus.

About cut your cuttings smaller, callous and so on, there is hard to know when it pups or roots. I have find out when cactus starts to want more water, it put out roots so probably dehydration is the key and that's why very big plants can take up to one year to root because they have enough water to survive and basically they just don't need roots yet to be alive.

I have succeed to get roots under one week to cactus cutting..
Bigger cuttings take more time, approx one month or two to root.

Well I planted three and and they are chillin' in a pot. I probably should have bought a bigger pot but this should do for now. I put them in standard cactus soil from a local hardware store. take a look at these pics and tell me what you think! One of these has a few black spots on it outside the skin.

The spots are firm so it should be fine?

The flash really doesn't do it justice, it looks quite sickly because of it. If their getting enough light and heat you should see change within the next 30 days. I find that the Achuma take about 3 weeks to start putting out roots and roughly another 3 weeks for noticeable growth. I have noticed tho that prolly due to the amount of light and lack of roots the cacti atrophy just a smidgion before gaining back their original growth. But it all depends on light and heat.

But to answer your question, the black is bruising etc. it'll be fine as long as it doesn't start to spread.
