Ideal soil for pereskiopsis?
    #26501239 -

Hey everyone!

From what I've read peres aren't very picky at all, but I'm having some trouble getting mine to root. They've been in relatively moist soil for about 3 weeks and haven't shown any noticeable growth. It's probably because I got some cheap potting soil (which was mostly just loam soil :facepalm:) and I'm itching to change it to a more aerated mix since I suspect the lack of air and organic material is the issue.

I know they're rooting, since I dug one up and it had a single, 1cm root growing out of it, but from what I've read they should be rooting and growing a lot quicker than that! I suspect it might be the humidity, since I live in a very dry area (10% RH is normal) and apparently peres prefer more humid climates.

Ive never grown or rooted peres but generally root all my cacti clones (once dried for a few days)in small pots filled with coarse river sand to be helpful for good root development.
Once healthy roots are showing thru bottom holes in pot I repot up into a more nutritious soil/sand mix.

Thanks! Do you usually keep them moist?

Also, what type of soil do you usually use once your peres have rooted?

I grow my Pereskiopsis in the same organic rich soil I use for the rest of my plants. I recall it taking a long time to take but eventually did. I've taken cuttings since and they've all grown fine too.

My local nursery:
Quote:
Pereskiopsis spathulata likes a full sun position. It is easy to care for, these cacti should be watered well in summer with much less to nothing in winter/cold areas. A mix between cacti and normal potting mix is best. Fast growing in warm moist conditions. Pereskiopsis spathulata likes regular fertiliser when actively growing.

I tried rooting a few i got a couple weeks ago in soil. Left them in soil for ~10 days. Almost all the leaves died so i decided to pull them up and see if they had any roots. Not a single one did.

I took them out of soil and put them in a jar with 1" or so of water at the bottom and put the jar on a heating mat. Just changed the water every couple days. This seemed to work much better. All but 1 have 1"+ roots and are starting new growth after 2 weeks.

Could try rooting in water worked well for me.

Edit: I also put a ziploc over the jar as a humidity dome. That probably helped alot. They looked much happier and the leaves stopped dying almost immediately.

Thanks a bunch guys! I'll probably give both the sand and water methods a try and see how it goes.

Also root mines in water.....but I've also never really ran into any issues rooting in dirt......I just like to watch

Soil wise though, I just do half potting soil half perlite....or something about that
