My mate when he moved house was looking out the kitchen window one day and saw the biggest san pedro he or I have ever seen. Maybe over 12ft with loads of branches. Damn awesome. :laugh:

Well it is just one month shy of a year since I purchased that San Pedro and I have an updated photo to post. I have an important question that has bugging me for a while though. As you can see in this photo below the shorter of the two cacti in that pot has not grown a single inch since I have had it though the taller cactus has grown significantly. The shorter of the two is significantly lighter green to almost yellow.

So I suppose my question is what is going on here and what can I do? Or should I just cut it off and let swim introduce it to his blender?



I appreciate any responses.

Is it getting light?

May just be lack of nutrients....

Give it a nice healthy spring fertilizer dose (any normal cacti/succulent fert will do) and see what happens.

Fertilizer sounds like a good idea.

Hey, and where is that cacti nursery in central florida?

The website for that succulent dedicated nursery is below.
http://www.floridacactus.com/

I have yet to make it all the way to the place as it is a solid drive from where I live. I tried once on a Saturday only to find they don't hold weekend hours.

I'll have to try again soon, I'd love to add some Peruvian torch cacti to my garden along with some decorative succulents perhaps.

It would be nice to get one or two just for chopping up as well since I know swim that would like to try his hand at a mesc extraction.
It's kind of a shame to cut one of these cacti up though, I'm not sure if I could do it to one that I'd been growing for any length of time.

Anyhow, it has been a while since I've fertilized the cactus but it has had food. It does get direct sunlight from about 11:30am-6pm. What puzzles me is that the taller one seems to be doing great while the other is static.

Has anyone else had this happen to them with more than one pedro in a pot?

That cactus really took off this year. It has grown much in a rather short time.

Nice cacti, have you considered decapitating it and planting the top?
