It was common practice to dispose of your bed pot content in the morning by dumping it on your vegetable garden in the days before toilets became standard. Urea (the common by-product of mammalian protein metabolization) is one of the forms in which nitrogen is marketed.

Fuck fuck fuck. Some of them are growing mould. It just seems to be on the surface... What should I do? They are already such small pieces. If I cut the edges off I'll have like 2 inch cuttings 
The mould seems to just be on the surface so far... It looks like little black, dusty spots.



How do i save them???

I would take them out and put them somewhere with airflow out of direct light....they should take care of that themselves I think, then store it in dry soil, or a cardboard box so it doesnt happen again.
But wait for the experts to find out what you should do.

Maybe I should also wipe the mould off them with a clean cloth.
Honestly I have no idea.
An alternative is that I could make these ones into tea?... I also have a 30cm piece that could be planted.

Take them out, clean them and let them set out to callous a lil more for another week. Is what I would do.
Plant them back in the soil in partial shade "a lil sun will only help your plant TRUST ME" and make sure the soil is COMPLETELY DRY when you do. After a month you could add just tiny dabs of water "if you want" just maybe every 2 or 3 weeks.
This is exactly how I do things and I've had no issues what so ever.
Not many people do things this way and many say not to because they don't know no better and have never tried it so they just go with the crowd saying no sun an no water until completely rooted.
ONLY LITTLE DABS OF WATER WILL HELP though and NOT VERY OFTEN.
I know I'm gonna get some shit for this post but looking through your thread made me wanna try to help you some.

you can use a dilute alcohol or vinegar water mix to spray and blot gently. then put a fan blowing on the end to dry it

Looks like they weren't calloused for long enough. Just clean the ends without using water, just wipe it off. Then put a fan onto the ends for 24 hours. Then callous for 3 weeks.
I got tiny spot molds on mine even in 100% perlite, an inert, sterile and dry medium because I only calloused for 2 weeks. If it's on the surface and not mushy, it will be fine if you give it air and time.

Quick update, it has been 4 weeks since the mould fiasco. They are still alive, not mushy. I just brushed off the mould and put them back on top of the soil (not buried). The mould isn't growing anymore, callouses look un-damaged. Poured a few drops of water on each one to stimulate root growth. (No roots yet)
The whole process so far has been about 8 weeks.
Update basically to say: 'They aren't dead yet!'

I'm not a fan of the log method. In my experience my plants have always done better when planted standing right side up. But, if you're going to log, I definitely would not bury them like they were in the first picture. You'll do better off with them just laying on top of the soil like you're doing now.

They don't need to be buried to shoot roots. I laid an opuntia pad on my front porch for a couple of weeks and the area that was laying on the wood started to shoot out roots where it had no light and probably a humid micro environment to initiate the root growth.
IMO that's all you need.

Actually maybe closer to 3! Probably not the most time-effective method. But 3 inch cutting, it worked . Now to wait for all her friends to make little sprouts as well!

Okay guys. Sorry to bump an old thread, but this is the conclusion to me 3 inch log-method experiment - All up, to get to this stage, the entire process has taken around 6 months. All eight cuttings have been successful. Just sitting on top of the soil. They've all put roots down. Fertilized once with Seasol about a month ago (5 month mark) and that seemed to stimulate root growth - or maybe it was the rains after 42C heat waves? But yeah, they didn't have any roots before then. They've been outside since they sprouted new cacti growth & have been watered weekly (except when it rained). Yay. Thx for following 


Editing to say: Thanks, cactus peeps! For all the help! Happy gardening ^__^
