harvesting and re-rooting peyote

I have a peyote plant that is mature, about 5.5 cm. I want to harvest it and then re-root it in another pot, hoping that the roots of the current plant will grow a new button. Does anybody have any advice for harvesting and re-rooting, especially re-rooting it.

If you are simply looking to produce pups for the purpose of propogation, wait till that monster button throws out some seeds and grow wem and graft em to pereskiopsis. you will have more specimens than you know what to do with. While you could let the cut button develop roots in a loose, partly sand medium (Ive heard coir works well too), it will never be able to grow with the vigor that it had on its original monster taproot. If you do cut it, not that i recommend it, leave some areoles around the edges of the root, the pups appear from them.

I ordered some pereskiopsis and i am planning to graft some of my seedlings on to it. 1. What exactly are areoles? I've never had anybody explain it to me? 2. Do i let the cactus dry out at all and develop a callous on the skin? 3. Do i just put the button in the sand and coir and roots start developing?? Thank you very much for your help

if you are cutting it and eating it and want to keep the bottom, dont repot. just cut it and put some powder on top. areoloes are where the spines/hair come out....this is the only place where new pups can grow...so if you cut them all away no new pups *can* grow.
if your planting the top as well, put some rooting powder on it and let callous. when nice and hard place on top of a coares sand and bury it a little. for me roots have taken as little as 1 week (VERY rare) to as long as a year or more. the buttom will often look dehydrated...thats ok...dont water.

i'm not cutting it to eat it, i'm trying to grow more of it, by cutting the button off and trying to get the root to sprout more buttons. I have seen instructions on the web that say cut the cactus so that there is only a little green below this. It says that it will not damage the root and will grow more cactus. Is this incorrect? If i cut all the areoles off nothing more will grow?

you can cut the bottom off of a button...however an areiola has to be present to form a new place for the loph pup to come out of the root sttock.
if you look around here theres al kinds of crazy info on different experiments with buttons "harvesting" and new ways to grow.
including...taking a plant, cutting it. grafting the button to a trich.or something like that, the also turning the root stock upside down and also graft that to a plant as well.
there are some very talented people on here. just look around, and there is a wealth if info from some great minds.
if the button is of notable size, and he just wants some large plants...the defenately follow kadukas info.
his info is great.
and on a side note. that crested loph...is fucking breathtaking kaduka.
good luck everyone.
pm me if you have any questions, or cactus needs.
