The San Pedro
cactus is the name given to the species of the genus
Trichocereus (T. pachanoi, T. peruvianus, T.
bridgesii and T. Terscheckii) which comprises about
thirty species, mainly found in the Andes. The one
offered here is the popular Peruvian Torch or
peruvianus variety. It is a large columnar cactus
that grows up to heights of twenty feet. They vary
in thier appearance but for the most part are very
similar. One thing is for sure. These cacti are
mean. The spines we leave on, so be careful. These
are fresh cut, alive and ready to grow..
Fast growing columnar cactus
Easy to root from a cutting.
Roll up a cutting half way
in newspaper. Then spray water on the cut end every
day. 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.
Another way to root the cactus is
to cut the end. Allow it to scab for a few
weeks and then plant it in damp rich soil about 2
inches deep. Make sure the soil completely dries out
before watering. Then moisten the soil and allow to
drain completely. DO NOT OVER WATER. DO NOT KEEP WET
CONTINUOUSLY.
Or you
can just lay the cactus cutting on it's side on bare
soil. Eventually it will start looking for water as
it grows roots and it will start growing upright and
throwing off pups to do the same.
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.
