The San Pedro cactus is the name
given to the species of the genus
Trichocereus (T. bridgesii, T. pachanoi, T.
peruvianus T. Terscheckii) which comprises
about thirty other species than the ones
mentioned here, mainly found in the Andes.
They are a large columnar cactus that grows
up to heights of twenty feet. Bridgesii is
by far the most prized but also the least
well known and hardest to find.
Non-consumable. Not
for human consumption.
Grows over a foot a year.
Easy to root from a cutting.
Roll up the cactus in a
newspaper and spray the newspaper
lightly every other day for a couple weeks.
The cactus will start to search for water by
growing roots and will lengthen and grow
pups to start to look for light. It will
wick up the water as it needs it. It does
not require much water to spark this cactus
to produce roots. Sometimes just a humid
atmosphere will do it. These guys want to
live! You can even merely spray the cactus
and newspaper with water daily or ever other
day. Just a hint of water will work. After
you see the pups you can break them off and
place the base in soil. And you can then
plant the original cutting to root as well.
Another way to root the
cactus is to cut the end. Allow it
a few weeks to scab and then plant it in
damp rich soil about 2 inches deep. Make
sure the soil completely dries out before
watering and stays dry for a week or so.
Then moisten the soil and allow to drain
completely. DO NOT OVER WATER. DO NOT KEEP
WET CONTINUOUSLY.
Another way to make root
is to place a wet newspaper over
the area you want roots to appear. Leave in
a dim room and wait for a couple weeks.
Make sure to keep
the newspaper damp but not wet. And if you
live iin a humid area, you need not dampen
the newspaper.
Soon roots will appear. Plant as
above and watch it grow. It grows fairly
fast once roots establish.
