Preserving Bridgesii Cuts?
    #23514389 - 08/05/16 09:16 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

A long time ago, I ordered 2 Bridgesii cuts, but one of them began to turn black after a long time (I don't remember exactly how long, several months maybe).  If I were to put a cut of Bridgesii inside a soiled pot, would it simply continue surviving like any normal plant?

After the cut has callused up you put it into dry potting soil that has a good amount of perlite and give it a week or two to produce some roots. Then give it it's first water and let it drain well. Give it full sun after it establishes a root system. (6-9 hours a day direct sunlight) Don't water again for a month or so.

Make sure your cut end (end you plant) is well calloused, if you make a cut yourself then let the cutting sit for a month before planting.  Make sure if you do make a cutting that you sterilize the knife you use to make your cutting, use rubbing alcohol before you cut, and if you make numerous cuttings then sterilize your knife after each cut.  I think you don't have to let it callous for that long, but I always take the "better safe than sorry" approach, and you can see how much thicker the callous is after a month when compared to a two week callous.

Once you have a well calloused cutting, you can put them up in a shady area if you're not ready to plant yet, often times they will root with no soil.  But you can plant without the roots showing, just don't water your cutting until you know it's rooted, and avoid direct sunlight.  You will know it's rooted because it will begin to grow, or you can pull it up and check for roots, personally I just wait until I see new growth, then slowly move to more sunlight and begin to water lightly at first, I have never lost a cutting doing it that way.

Plant in well draining soil, then put in a shady spot of your yard which might get a bit of filtered sunlight, direct sunlight will sunburn and kill your plant, if sunburned the plant will begin to turn yellow, then black, then die, kind of funny thinking a cactus gets sunburned.:grin:

I set my cuttings in filtered sunlight for a month before slowly moving them into more direct sunlight over time, it's no rush, and the growth I see is fat and healthy. 

Cacti will teach you patients, which is something we all need, show them respect, and they will reward you with their wonderful growth, and you can feel their power radiated from their flesh, permeating the garden, demanding respect from all of nature with their majesty. :cactus:
