There are so many random facts on the internet now that are just not necessary. Plants survived out in the wild somehow without tiktok hacks for propagation hehe.
My dad used just any old garden gravel, or landscaping gravel. Nothing special about the gravel. Just any rocks would do to help with aeration and drainage.
I quit watching because of difficulty hearing the talking over the music. When are video makers going to figure this out??? When learing, music doesn't enhance my experience, it distracts from it!
Not right away, it will be more prone to drying out if you have two open wounds on both ends of the cactus. Its better to just split into two, and then splitting again if you would like to make more.
I’ve found the name of the cactus it’s Pachycereus Pringlei. Found it on eBay while browsing. Thanks again for the video. I like the idea of using polythene instead of cardboard.😂🌵🌵🥰
1. Those tongs are for food and are too sharp to use on cactus. I use rubber tipped tongs. 2. To strike cactus i stick them into a pot of dry Perlite till they root
@@takeiteasy7062 Any gravel is good. You can give it a good wash too. I'm pretty sure the gravel we used was sitting outside for a while on the drive way hehe. Perlite can be added in to provide more aeration so a mixture is good but not a necessity.
This is just like my mom’s lesson in propagation “you just put it in the ground” and her backyard is filled with beautiful succulents

Could you please put the name of the cactus that you're using so we know? Thank you
First one is some sort of Columnar Cacti, and second one I believe is a Pilosocereus azureus or Brazilian Blue Cactus
What happens to the cut cacti? Do they continue to grow at the top or does the stump stay like that? Thanks
What kind of gravel does he use? Great video!!

do you water them immediately?
Nope? You can let the end dry out a bit so it doesn’t rot. You can wait a while before watering.
Can I cut it in 10-20 bits?

True, but sometimes you have to make do with what you have.
