Just received my SS02 Bridgesii. Advice needed.

So I just received my cacti and wanted to share it with y'all as well as ask a few questions.
 I wasn't very excited that they didn't cut the pup off clean but I guess they were worried about making sure it was at least 12". I do like the diameter on this Bridgesii though so I guess it's cool.
 It looks like the tip got banged around a bit during delivery, I wish it would have come in in a better condition but at least it isn't too bad I suppose.
 It came with rooting already starting to take effect, so my question is, would it be okay for me to bury the whole bottom nub up to the base of the emerging pup? Will this be sufficient for my bridge to establish roots as well as help anchor my SS02?

Correction, this isn't the SS02. I have that one coming in the mail still. I accidentally got the two mixed up. This is still a Bridgesii though; hopefully the SS02 will come in a better condition than this one.

The circle in the center is just the fibrous core not roots. I would do just like you say and bury the bottom part.

Yeah just bury up to the base of the pup, that little bit will totally help you as a nice base for root stock. It's a good thing.

Finished potting and admiring. Long full day at work, came home and got to plant my new addition to the collect; feeling accomplished for the day. Can't wait to sit back and watch it grow! Btw, I put a normal sized bic lighter for scalability.

SS02 Bridgesii soon to come; I need to start labeling my plants.

Thanks man! Honestly it's this kind of shit that makes me happy these days. The wife told me I can't get anymore since I'm up to 8 plants.... She's in for a rude awakening

It's definitely not a cheap hobby but it is extremely rewarding. It pays for itself.

Thats a nice looking plant. Hopefully that soil is not wet. Could get rot on it. Its very nice.

the blemish on the tip will likely heal without a hitch, and within no time you will have forgotten it even existed.

Perfect. Ive found that enough slightly damp soil will initiate root buds that will later go on to be the life of the plant. Good score man.
