Thank you so much for watching! If there are any videos (Rare Online HousePlant Unboxings, More Plant Tours, Specific Plant Care) you would like to see please let me know :).
Here's the update! czcams.com/video/yOzUIiLCGP8/video.html
I have a Totem pole cactus that was an arm from a large mother plant. It's now growing it's own arms and growing tall. I have propagated San Pedro Cactus from cuttings like you just did. The way I did it is letting the pieces callous over for at least 5-6 days. The area is very large and needs time to callous. When I did plant it, I put it in a dry succulent mix and waited to water for at least 7-10 days. The easiest way to lose a cutting is overwatering and rot. The San Pedro Cactus cuttings have tooted and are growing tall. Hope this helps. 🌵💚😊
Thank you Carmen!! I hope mine will grow arms soon 😬 I’ll be sure not to water it especially since I didn’t wait long enough for it to callous 🤦🏼♀️
can't wait for the future updates on these! looks great
I like to watch Erika's videos cause i see new species everytime, man imagine that cactus roots. Not gonna lie, i wouldn't be able to chop a plant just like that haha.
It felt kinda crazy going in there w that big knife 😂
Plz give an update in the future
I will!
Erika I watched this yesterday. I should have told you good luck with your cactus. If it works like you take care of your other plants you will have success for sure. Keep us all posted.
Good luck, you are brave. Can’t wait to see the progression
So cute 🌵 look forward to see the progress 😊
cacti are my faveeee. Can't wait to see the update ! 💚
I’ve been waiting for a video like this!!! Please update us :) I’m so excited watching.
What a cool cacti, first time seeing one. 😃 Good luck with your propagations. 💚😃
Good luck!! Can't wait for the update
Thank you!
I’ll look forward to the follow up video on this one Erika . Very interesting 🧐
Great video Erica. An update would be great. Soil mix looks great. I need to repot mine into better draining soil. Ordered new additions to mix in with my soil as well for better drainage. Lots of luck and can’t wait for the update!
Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!!!
You keep uploading on my days off and I ain’t complainin! 😂😂
Oh heck ya 😎
Great video! I already can’t wait for the update hehe 🌵💚🌵
I’m so excited too! Can’t wait until it rooots
Use cinamon to heal where you cut the top part will not get rot and not get infected from fungus dear
And cinnamon help to get root quick too i propagated my zz by pulled out the oldest leaf and use cinnamon at the bottom of the leaf and stick in the soil only 2-3 weeks i got rooted
🥰 anyway i love your channel alot
Is it too late to put cinnamon since it calloused? I’m open to slicing the top part again & putting cinnamon. I don’t want it to get infected ☹️
Wow Erika your cacti is amazing! I love how you just go for it, it helps me try things thx! I've propagated my starfish sansevieria that had root rot fingers crossed it works. Can't wait to watch the progress on your props!
Sending good vibes for your starfish babies!!
OOOOOOOoooooo!!! Thank you SOOOO much for taking the plunge! I have had 8 large San Pedro cacti on my kitchen counter (🤭) because mine have all done the same thing, called "etiolation", but im sooooo scared to cut my babies! Thanks for making the video! Oh, it takes a couple weeks for cactus to callous, I don't water for a month if I plant without full callous. Great video! love your cactus!
I've got a san pedro cactus coming in soon and I'm so excited! Any tips for home growing? I haven't taken care of any cacti before
A couple weeks??!!! Wow I was really thinking it would take a day 😂😂😂 etiolation hmm. I don’t like how etiolation looks but I’m glad I know the word for it now hehe. Also I won’t water for a month either thank you for the tip!
Once you start cutting I don’t think you’ll regret it, go for it 🤩
the stem cuttings and the remaining cactus won't form a new top. It'll push out side growth just like leafy plants do, so depending on how low you cut it the higher up the side growth will be. i like to cut all my plants pretty low to keep them compact.
Ohhh I see. I’ll probably have to cut it down lower then. Thanks for the info!

Very good...
I like your Darkstar shirt and your cactus!
thank you I have 4
❤
nice
the video you watched was a good’un. i saw a couple of others that yield additional info. f’rinstance, cutting at an angle leaves a slanted top that any rain will drain off of, thereby preventing possible rot. so your wonky cutting is good. one site advised callussing (sp?) for a couple of weeks! also cinnamon pressed onto cut surfaces prevents infections. my sprouties from upright rooted bases came out on the side of the top cut. watering advice was a bit conflicting, but less is definitely more. using bamboo skewers right beside unrooted chunks prevents fallage, haha! fun seeing the recumbent sections growing beebees at a a right angle! it will take a couple of months at least, esp as we’re leaving the growing season (maybe not so much in CA, i’m in MN)
i think taking the rooted part down some more for another ‘log’ might be a good idea.
p.s. the root system on my 2 ft tall pilosocereus was amazingly insubstantial!
Other youtubers said to let the cacti dry out or callus for a few days... cutting it off slanted is actually good, more surface area for rooting
Oh you’re right I didn’t think about it that way!
Omg I want it....
Cool! Thanks for the video. Any developments? 🤗
Very interesting, love this
I didn’t know that you can lay a cactus on its side and roots will form, so cool
I use cinnamon to heal my cuts it smells nice too😛
I would see them at some cacti nurseries just laying there & tbh it looks so cute like a lil log 🥺 thanks for the tip! When I cut it further I will use cinnamon especially since it could help cover the smell lol
Lol yes the smell can be intense😂thank you for the tip to lay the cactus on it’s side, it does look so cute, I’m goi g to do this to a euphoria that’s getting skinny🙌🤞
Very unusual experiment) its interesting, what will happen with the cuttings)
Have you done an update?! I’d love to see these cuttings now.
Update please!
We had one growing up and my parents even moved it once when it was still somewhat little. Propagated it twice at the new house and all 3 grew pretty big with multiple arms. My parents sold that house after 20 years and the new owners got rid of the 2 "smaller" ones. Made me sad but they were so big you couldn't take the whole thing
Don’t worry ericka that’s the only way you will become expert totem are very hard to get I just bought one for my husband for Father’s Day he loves it , let me know how it does infinite love and gratitude
😻😻😻
Any update videos? How did the cuttings come out? Mine was damaged today and i just cut it at the base.
Help🤪 What do i do??
💚
Hi Erika! I'm interested in getting a totem cactus do you have any trusted cactus online shops?
I love your channel so much. And you! You seem so sweet
Awhh thank you 😭😭💚
I have two Totem Pole cactus cuttings, and they took over a year to even start putting out roots. What are the proportions of each ingredient in the soil mix you are using? Even after rooting mine grow very slowly.
The 2 cuttings look great and hopefully the root for you, the the plant you have left I would not chop it. I would leave it and keep the water from the top as much as possible, I saw someone suggest cinnamon on the cut, on the top, really good idea. I hope this helps, most plants you cut look not nice for a while , however the come back looking great. great video, have a good one.
Ahh i hope it comes back looking great!! Thank you 🤩
@@ErikaLodes usually with all plants, where it is cut it sprouts more growth at the cut point, extra branching.
If the big guy is like all the cacti ive seen it should start poppin lil cute pups out the side :) 🌵
It got skinny in the middle because of the amount of sunlight. What direction of sunlight was it getting? Anytime a cactus gets etiolated in the middle, is a sign that during that time of that growth in that area it wasn't getting the proper amount of sunlight. And you really need to allow cactus to callous over for 7-10 days. And for cactus soil, I recommend using equal parts succulent soil, extra perlite, pumice or lava rock, chicken grit, and toss in a small handful of horticultural charcoal. I've been using this DIY mix for a very long time, it works perfectly for cacti and succulents. Oh and one more thing, do not water cuttings untill substantial roots have grown. I have two cuttings that have been sitting out waiting to root for five months. Cacti are drought tolerant and can go without water for a long time. It takes longer to root in the winter months. Would love to know an update on this cactus.
My understanding with lophocereus shotti is that it takes a very long time for roots to form (around 12 months) so be patient
🥺 ok I’ll be patient
Is there an update on this?
Any update on these babies?
I have tried this 3 times,and never suggest full.Was looking for a follow up video.And can’t find it.So wondering if it worked for you.
I usually let all cactus cuttings callous for 2 weeks. I’m interested to see if this will work with just 3 days!
I really hope it works 😅 I was really trying something only wanting to let it callous for one day lol
I found this video really interesting. I know nothing about cactus. I'm wondering if you could cut up the one you layed on its side into smaller sections. Wouldn't they all shoot off a new plant? Maybe?
I’m letting it show signs of roots so I can see where to split it! & then hopefully I can get multiple new plants like you say hehe
I’m hoping it works anyway 😁
Sounds like a smart idea!
💚🌵
👩🏼🔬🤩
Omg mine bothers me too...mines a fence post cactus
1 day callous is not enough they will prob rot or get bacteria
You should put a little Santa Claus hat on top of the one that you left in the black pot that you took the cuttings from lol
Awhh that’s so cute!! I’m soo gonna do that 🌵🎅🏼
🙂
🤩
Which name cuctos
I pooped my pants when I saw you had a new video 💩
Lol 🥴🥴
You are so fine.
Oh . I love your plants also. I have about 300
Keep the videos coming
they have to callus over for awhile
Lol, GOOD LUCK! But...
NO, YOUR CRAZY 🤪
Might I suggest YOU suggest to you novice gardeners that you become more knowledgeable before you put a video out there?? BTW, I do love you & your channel ✌
Try to put a grafted cactus on top of your cut bobsie
Girl just add a little hat for spunk on the cut one lol! Since its bald now 😂
Next time try to use hair dryer to callus them faster
Oh no, I wouldn't do that. Allow it to naturally callous on its own. Heat from the dryer can definitely cause damage to the healthy tissue.
noooo dont cut him up!!
No, don’t cut it. It’ll heal and may produce pups!
