Yeah, I’m getting into “gardening.”
Hey look on the bright side, at least it’s not drugs ;)
Yup!
😂😂
@@VaderHater1993well it aint
I can really get behind this type of gardening
your presentation was one of the best on the net true professional.
I live in the high desert and let my San Pedro dry for a week or so. Then I put them in a pot 1-2-3 per pot depending on size. I water them from the bottom up meaning I put them in a saucer full of water. This moistens them and lets them have the water they want at a later time. They stay on the dry side. But not completely dry. I loose about one of one hundred. They like lots of light but not direct sun for the first couple months. After that they are on their own. I never give them full sun unless they are in ground.
This video solved a problem I have! I'm going to cut a San Pedro I was gifted that had gotten thin at it's thickest point and then do a Log style with the skinny parts!
I have just started watching these videos and they are very informative. Excellent . I have grown a few cacti before but nothing for a while. I think growing cacti now is going to become a new hobby of mine.
Very informative and clear. No nonsense, no fuss method I appreciate. He covers it all!
Hi I might have missed it but how long should I wait until I water them if they have no roots?
I just should put them in the soil and the roots will grow by themselves right? How long should I wait until I water them if you know it?
🙂
I appreciate your efforts in taking the time to be thorough in the process of different applications for the purpose of planting
This is the best video on the topic. Thank you!
Extremely informative video. Thank you!
Hi, thank you for this information. I'm in California and I came across a house with overgrown san pedro and they gave me as much as i wanted. So I found your information and i am truly grateful. thank you.
Just check his video on the "PC" variety to make sure you've got a sacred cactus because MANY in the USA are the PC variety. But being an old one in California, it may very well be the real deal.
Great video, very informative!
Thank you a lot, truly appreciate the effort you have put into making this video!
I emailed you... many thanks, great channel!
Dig the videos man! Thanks for all the useful info.
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying them! :)
Very useful video- thanks so much!
Your the man bro! 🌵 cacti are so cool. Love them all. This tutorial is good for many varieties.
I have a Trichocereus Candicans. I didn’t let the cutting dry before planting , it took though:) I also did a successful double graft. I grafted two cuttings one on top of another in series and it took. The double grafted FRANKENSTEIN 🌵 has been alive for 14 years now. :)
Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Oh my gosh thank you first video of yours I’ve seen I liked and subscribed ❤
Can’t wait to buy one and grow these
Jerry please make a video about grafting the peyote on the San Pedro logsyle!
Hey always so good. Thank you so much for the wonderful video!
Many thanks for the instructions, amigo!
Concise and helpful thanks!

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!
Excelente
Thank you for ur videos i have had great success growing it sideways
thanks foe the content! :)
Thank you sir!
wow. thank you!!
Thank you so much
First rate, thank you.
I've found that water troughs are a great pot for planting log-style! Just be sure to drill or punch some drainage holes. I've got several foot-long dogs (now that they're grown-up "pups", right?) after only ~3mo, and the logs are still popping out new pups. They're inside under grow lights for the winter now and flourishing! I'll likely have to cut and propagate them within 2 years to keep them manageable. Just be patient in the first month or two and life, uhhh, finds a way.
Definitely gonna give this a try.
I have a long pot that was given to me. They're like for the window boxes full of flowers that the British used to do. They would build a box attached to the outer wall of the house below the window so when you opened the window the scent of the flowers would blow into the room. They're around at least here in Australia but you've got to get rummaging thru the pot section of the hardware store
I’m still unclear on when to water.
Should I leave the cutting in a pot 3:1 ratio perlite:soil WITHOUT water until it roots,
Then put into soil, wait 5 days before first watering?
Thanks
Do you have to wait for the ends to dry out before potting? Also, does that rule apply to log style planting?
Yes, always wait for the ends to dry out before potting. Same for log style.
Jerry, what size pot would you recommend for say a 8-10" cut?
Excelentá
thanks
@SanPedroMastery Thank you so much for this video it was such a great help. However, I heard you mention if the cactus has roots already do not water for 3-4 days after repotting. However, what if it doesn't have roots yet but has callussed and is ready to plant. Should I still wait 3-4 days before watering or how long should I wait before I water it?
Did you ever do a follow up with the air pots? Did they get more roots? Love the channel!
hi , I'd like to ask you if I can put my cutting in just pomice or perlite in order to make them root ? instead of using your mix of 3 parst perlite and one part soil , then do you keep the cactus cuttings out of the direct sun light when you're tring to make them root ? how moist must be the soil when the cuttings are just stared to root ? thank you so much for your useful videos
your videos are an inspiration, thanks so much for making them. I do have a question. How many hours of sun per day should san pedro have?
And thank you so much for watching my videos! :) Hard to say how many hours! It depends where you live. Here in Spain, they can grow in the shade, but prefer a few hours of sun every morning or afternoon. In the North of Europe, Scandinavia or Canada, the sun is less strong and they may need more hours. You have to try and look at the color, if they are turning a little yellow, they are getting too much sun.
@@sanpedromastery6262 hi Jerry, my peyote got it's 1st flower of the year. Which one of your videos do you describe how to cross pollinate? I seem to recall it was in one of them but I cannot find it
So, while I have a cutting resting on perlite, do I keep it out of direct light while it's rooting, and should I be misting it? I took a cutting after using the base as rootstock to graft with, and dipped the cut end in #1 Hormex rooting powder, then allowed it to callous for a week, and have used straight perlite in the past, but can add ¼ soil to it. And, should I be misting the cactus periodically, wetting the rooting powder and such, or no? I've heard all different recommendations, and know you know cacti as well as anyone, so I want to do exactly what you do. I've always kept them out of direct light and would mist daily, at least with lophs and such. Just want to make sure I'm not doing anything that's hindering my success rate with any of these cacti. I'm sure the rooting powder isn't totally necessary, and they'll probably root no matter if they're in the light or not or being misted or not, so if that's the case, I won't deprive them of light for extended periods, or spray them down for no reason, if I can just keep them in my tent under full light as they root, or whatever (that way they won't etiolate, hopefully).
Do you water the potting soil when you put the cuttings on them?
do you have to store the top and middle cuttings in any specific condition? like if you keep them in a dark place will it stop it from growing thin?
Thank you
Question: at which size this plant is able to stand or tolerate the snow during winter?
Thank you so much. Very informative. Are you a botanist?
My cutting is now almost 18 months old. It has been grown from a middle cut placed horizontally, like a log. However, only one pup grew. The log piece is 5.5 inches and the 18 month old cactus is now 27 inches. Would there be a reason why other pups did not also grow, the pot is 16.5 inches in diameter so nice and big? And if I cut the 27 inch piece to propagate,how many pieces should I cut it into? I have read anywhere from 6-12inches.
What you CAN do is cut the 27 inch piece and pups will cone directly from where it's cut. I have recently bought what was a collapsed cacti that was only 3 or 4 inches long laying on the ground and it rooted itself and has about a 16 inch pup and 2 tiny ones on top of each other coming from another part. I got it bare rooted and staked it.

Hi! Great video :) I'm new to cacti plants so I found your video very helpful. My end cutting doesn't have roots - they've been cut away and only a neat stump remains at the end. It's a single very tall san pedro. So, I plan to cut it in two parts - an 'end' part that will become a mother plant and a single long top cut to be rooted and potted on its own. the part i'm unsure about is the end cut and what i should do with the stump that doesn't have any roots. Should i cut off the stump, wait for it to callus and then plant - or should I leave the stump and follow one of the rooting methods you mention in this video?
If the roots have been cut away it should behave like any other cutting and push out new roots when in contact with soil. I would replant it like it grew into initially damp soil and not water again until it puts out some roots.
I have got some large cuttings with large girth. It is winter here, and it may reach -5 C for a few hours at night. Does it only postpone the rooting process or it may kill the plant? Should I wait 2 months and plant them early in spring?
Thank you for your great channel! Should you let your cutting's end dry out before you put it to soil or go straight to soil as soon as you cut it? I've heard both ways...
Let it dry out first. Straight to soil is terrible advice! ;D Count a week drying time for each inch of section. So for a 3" section, that would be 3 inches. Make sure it dries in a well ventilated area, like on your terrace or in your garden, preferably in a shady or half shady spot. Good luck!
@@sanpedromastery6262 Jerry, what size pot would you recommend for say a 8-10" cut?
@@sanpedromastery6262 Just to be clean, you mean inches in diameter? Not length, right? Haha. Nice video. thank you for the info!!!
Any suggestions for a good substrate mix for trichocerous?
I just got a few San Pedro middle cuttings in the mail... one had a tiny spot of rot on the bottom callous.. used a sterile tomato core to scoop it out... then I put cinnamon on the wound.. I have it forming a callous a few feet in front of a small fan .. I just purchased cocofiber to start roots ...can I just place it on the coco fiber... should I midt the coco fiber a bit or is it fine just to leave it alone with no mist?
Do you have a video on how to make my columnar cacti more fat?
Regarding method one, should I water it?
How often do you water cuttings if you let it sit on top of soil ? Its spring here melbourne ..
Thanks again sharing knowledge ...
You do not water them at all until they have grown some roots. You will now they have grown some roots when you try to lift the cutting ever so gently, and you feel some resistance. Do not try it too often, or you will keep breaking the first roots. Check on the roots every 2 months or so. :)
Do I need to keep a top cutting that is on perlite/soil out of direct sunlight while it’s rooting?
I have a domed piece. I put it in pearlite to try to root it. It has a fuzzy little knob on the side that look like a root ball growing. Should I cut that off and plant it?????
I have San Pedro 10 cm top cutting that started to rotten on the top. can it still be planted or maybe to cut off the rotten top?
Can I do this with booby cactus? I've made my cuts and waiting to plant. I know they are a different kind, but a neighbor moved and let us have half of her 40 year old cactus! It's gorgeous and I want to propagate for more! Thanks for your information, very good videos!
What if the base part has almost zero roots or roots that are dry from being found broken off on the floor?
Would you suggest a bed the base and let it get roots before cutting or would you cut The dried root base off and take it from there?
The channel is fantastic and very informative, do you send seeds to Australia?
How long does a cutting take to grow to full maturity?
I have a bunch of 2ft top cuts I recently purchased and I layed them down on the floor on a piece of cardboard. They’ve been on the floor in the dark in my garage for 3 weeks and I see the tips turning starting turn yellow. Do you know why they’re turning yellow?
How much direct sunlight should I give the cuttings after planting? I have them in only ab 3 to 4 hours of direct o ilive in northern California where the summers are hot at dry and Winters are mild but rainy
That sounds about right for a plant that has roots. If yours has not rooted yet, then that should be OK, but no more sun than that.
When planting a cutting directly into the soil during winter in a northern country, should you water it at all to help root growth, or will this just make it rot?
Is it better to plant a newly calloused cutting with no roots in 100% DRY soil or in slightly moist soil?
I have a top cut that has roots trying to grow out of it, approximately 1 foot long. Can I plant the top cut three to 3 inches deep?
Is there any concern about making a cutting while the cactus is blooming? I was about to make a cutting, and then noticed that I have quite a few flowers beginning to bloom. So now I'm conflicted. I've looked and looked for the answer to this. Thanks!
Just a guess but the flowering might reallocate how nutrients are distributed and reduce its ability to root and resume vegetative growth. No clue tho I haven't tried but that's what I would guess.
Can i let it root in 3 parts perlite and 1 part cactus soil??
I just received a bridgesii cutting and was wondering if I should try and root it now or wait until next spring seeing as it is now autumn?
I would try to root it now. Make sure you don't water it until Spring.
How often should i give water to the cuttings once they got roots? and how much?
Can you use rooting powder?
So im in texas and im tryna get some san pedro for a flower bed but i cant find a place that seems legit to buy from any suggestions
So is it safe to water an unrooted cutting if its planted in airy, coarse and very well draining soil?
Hi. I need to cut my san pedro. It seems to be a 15 inch high pup grown on a 4 inch cutting. How many times should i cut it? Will new pups grow off the original 4 inch rooted original cutting? Um so nervous because i fear ruining it all. Its almost july in CA is that a good time to do this cactus surgery?😳
Can I separate a pup from the cut cactus and plant that directly into the soil?
While repotting a san pedro cutting, do i have to water the soil once in while or not? Thanks for the videos!
If your cutting has no roots, it's best to not water it at all, as it cannot absorb any water. Watering a cacti that has no root will often lead to rot.
Hi, I am trying to propagate a type of cereus cactus but while cutting I found a wooden core. I was wondering if this is okay and after drying this will root, or should I cut higher to avoid the wooden core?
The old ones have a tough core. Don't know about wooden but if it's dry or a rust colour, it's screwed so cut higher
Hi Jerry. How deep should I plant a 50cm San Pedro cutting and how will I know when it has rooted when it has already started to grow new pups before planting. Thanks
I would do 2-3 diameters deep, though if it is very long you can go deeper to give it initial stability before the roots take over.
Used some buffered coco mixed with half coco half pearlite heavy on the pearlite a SMALL spoon of crushed organic fertilizer mixed in just to give coco some nutrition in a green boulder cup (aldi 's brand)n I watered after re potting doh! I will see what happens and not water it for a while least week or 2 we will see it is inside 72% rh 72-85max f. Any ideas in what I should do?
Hi I am wondering what to do about the top of a cactus cutting getting a little mouldy. Is it advisable to cover a flat cut to stop moisture getting in?
Yellow sulphur or cinnamon powder from the spice section of the grocery store. Absolutely keep it dry even if that means some cotton buds and half a paper cup on top. After a few weeks it should be dry
i use the log method to root my cuttings but ran into the problem of catepillars eating along the bottom of the log were it is unoticeable until the cuttings start to rot the alkaloids in the skin doesnt seem to bother whatever caterpillar is eating them i have no choice but to grow them indoors with less light
Can i replant the ethiolated part of san pedro?
I have a little black spot on my cutting, what can I do?
pls can you help me. i have 25 cm san pedro and i cut it from top 5 cm and wait 4 days than plant to soil and wait wtihout water 2 weeks but nothing happening. air is good warm can see sun 6 hours. after 3 weeks, i give water and start to rot from botton. What i am doing wrong ?
May I ask you a question? I am rooting myrtillo crested cutting right now (sorry it is not pachanoi, yet I think it is somewhat the same as both myrtillo and pachanoi are columnar cacty), and I am gonna choose your first method : just to put the cutting on the soil and not burrying it... my qurstion is, should I water the soil or not? Oh, fyi, I live in Indonesia, a tropical country... thanks in advance...🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sorry Jerry... you have answered the same question below... 🙈🙈.. thanks anyway... it is very helpfull channel...1🙏🏻🙏🏻
Help! I accidentally waited way too long to plant my cuttings. I had to leave the state for almost six months and in the meantime, I left them lying down on a brick patio, partially covered by some brown paper. They seem to have dried up, and have yellow parts. It is incredibly hot here in Tucson, and I believe they also got sunburned. Do you think there's any hope? They are very long pieces, about 2-3 feet each, so I'm thinking I might cut them into smaller pieces, but I'm not sure if they would have enough energy left to root? Is it better to leave them large?
How'd it all go in the end?
hey can i use natural compost in my soil for growing cuttings?
Of course. That is only part of the soil mix, but every recipe includes some source of organic nutrients in addition to substrates that are more about structure and water-management (like coco coir, sand, and perlite). Eventually the compost's nutrients will be depleted and you'll either need to add more on top (or repot) or start supplementing with a fertilizer.
Thanx fr ur video. We r in India. How can I planting plz tell me .I like very much cactus
