Just got my cacti
    #7436340 - 09/21/07 12:11 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I just received three 6" San Pedro. I am going to head down to wal-mart and pick up some pots and some cactus mix soil.

What is the best way to plant these cuttings? Do I leave the scabbed end on, or do I make a cut and stick a fresh end in the soil? Do I water right away?

Very nice. I hope all will be great success. My original intention was to eat 12" and plant the rest, but they are the tiniest little things, Mod edit: no sources kinda ripped me off. I'll just take my lemons and make some, lemon-cati juice.

I read they hate to be repotted, so in that light, how big of a pot should I get? does it need to be clay?

Id probally get cactus soil from lowes or homedepot, but i may be wrong. and um well.. i usually get pots twice as wide as the cacti, so if its a 5 cm wide cacti, id give it a 10 cm wide pot.

wrong,mg is not good for cacti , they use wood chips as a filler that steels nitrogen away from the plant while decomposing, you have to make sure the scabbed end is nice and calloused before you plant, then plant the calloused end in the soil about 3-4 inches, use cactus soil

now it has to be dry soil and you can not water one bit before you have roots or it will rot, also i doubt you will see any pups until about half way through next spring,

cactus mix is made for a cactus, it doesn't have "9 months worth of mg fert added" , it has all the necessities for a cactus and it is well draining, sometimes i add perlite but it is not needed.

How do I know if the callousness is to the right degree? Would a picture help?

if it is like a scab it should be fine, just as long as it is not fresh, you are planting it in dry soil so no worries.

how did Mod edit: no sources rip you off? they did the same shit, i got a rotten cactus, but i did get a refund.
anyways okay dude, get some miracle grow soil, mix perlie, buy a well drained pot, THATS IT
it will take 1 month before you see small roots, then longer before the cactus gets a good root system, and THEN makes puppys.
my san pedro's are growing about over a foot a season :laugh:
maybe ill harvest next spring :yesnod:

again please stay away from mg unless you cant get cactus soil...


mg soil downfalls
1) not fully composted,
2) contains wood chips that will rob nitrogen
3) contains mg fert and is lacking in micro nutrients and necessities that cacti need/thrive on.


it will work but if they have CACTUS soil that is made for CACTI and you are growing CACTI then why would you get otherwise?

good luck with your cutting

alternatively: dont put them in any growing medium until roots start to grow.
just be sure to orientate them the correct way, unless u like roots growing out of the side of your cacti...

safest option for novices i think... can get very tempting to give them water...

I went and bought some plain cactus soil, and planted them with about 2-3 inches of soil surrounding. The soil is moist but I am pretty sure it will dry quickly as I am waiting for 1 month at least to water.

How do you know when it has rooted without actually pulling it up? (from my readings it was said that they hate to be transplanted, or removed from their environment.)

pull them up to see if it is rooted, also it would have been best to dry the soil first because wet soil will still rot the cactus.
