I love your frog. 🐸 😆
I’m living in Midwest and was given a two and half foot long cutting from a friend couple, on November 12th 2023. Planted in cactus mix and friends said NOT to water. It’s now Jan 30th, 2024 and I noticed the plant was more soft than before and sorta wrinkly. So I RUclipsd and found your video. I just finished watering the thirsty gal!!! I hope any roots that may have started did not dry up and die 🙏 before I did. 🤷♂️
Of course in the Midwest i must bring this in for winter; fortunately I have a nice grow area downstairs with florescent T5s and Spider Farmer LEDS. I over winter many succulents and tropicals.
Anyways, I thank you for this video and hopefully this desert girl grows tall and strong. Although seeing how big they get it may be difficult to bring in next year.
I’ll find a way tho!!😊
Cheers from Indiana.
That is one generous and giving San Pedro! From one, you now have 4 and probably more. 😃👍🏼
And the original came from my mom, who got her's from a family friend! Plants are so wonderful! 🌵😊💚
Great tutorial Carmen. I am so glad we didn’t have to wait for the outcome. I love the way you explain each step and why. Love the Rosie video bomb while you were planting up the calloused cuttings and her barking near the end of the video, cute🥰🐶. Can’t wait for updates.
Yes, she does wander in sometimes and I don't even realize it until I see the video. 💚😊🐶
😂😜
I absolutely love your euphorbia/cacti collection.
Thank you so much!💚😊🐶.
Thank you for the great and informative video! 👍 fantastic information 👏 👌 👍 😀
I love your collection and enthusiasm!
Thank you so much!
This was extremely helpful for me. Thanks and I can’t wait to report it’s progress.
Best of luck!
Great video, thank you.
Thank you so much for making this! It's was exactly the information I was looking for.
Thank you for this helpful information!!
Thanks👍
Hope those grow well!! The tongs are a great idea when repotting cacti omg
I hope so too! They're really hardy, so I think they will. 😊🌵💚🐶.
Thank you Carmen! I feel encouraged now 😊. Thanks for this tutorial and making it look easy with nothing to worry about. Now I want a San Pedro. I'll be on the look out for a tallish one just so can try this out. Can't wait!
Good for you! Let me know if you do try it. 😊💚🐶.
@@carmenwhitehead will do!
Great video!
Thanks for this helpful info. You’ve inspired me!
Glad it was helpful!
God bless you Carmen. Hope you are doing well. I just bought a small cactus, very similar to yours but it doesn't have a lot of cactus "flesh" in the middle. The grooves are very deep and they almost meet in the middle. I repotted the cactus when I got home and noticed that it did not have any roots. It was a local nursery. I think they just cut it, let it callus and put it to be sold. I am so glad you made this video, it's just what I what I needed. And thank you for replying to my last comment, it was very helpful. Have a wonderful day Carmen, God bless you
Yes, it sounds like a cutting that they just placed in the pot. I would treat it just like a cactus. Make sure it gets at least morning sun, water only when soil is completely dry. You can sprinkle in a couple tablespoons of worm castings for fertilizer if you want. Hope this helps. 💚😊🐶
Great video.
Thank you, that was very helpful.
you're so welcome!
Excellent tutorial! I needed this video.
I will probably need to propogate my African Milk cactus at the end of this summer because it's getting tall.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your cactus. 🐶💚😊
Thank you for this valuable information, I purchased my San Pedro from a Walmart store, I went into the garden center and I spotted it all by itself on a rack, I was immediately drawn to it and it is in my back yard in a planter container doing well. It put new growth at the base of the plant and I am getting ready to cut it to make more.
Fascinating plant 🌱
Wonderful! Good luck with your propagation!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video, great information.
Glad it was helpful!🌵😊💚
Thank you for the information
My pleasure!💚😊🐶
Awesome video! I have a four foot San Pedro and another one that has four shoots that is around three and a half feet tall. I need to cut mine and get them into containers they are way too tall now.
Just kind of new thanks for the video got eight San Pedro's if they're older cuttings and are good shape plant the same and it is getting into fall -time so what should I do just a darker place for them above zero cooler spot correct thank you
Very good instructional video! I’d love to see you try a grafted cactus on top of a columnar cactus cut. You see them often for sale at the big box stores...red, orange, yellow.
Yes, I've seen those. Perhaps I will try that one day. Thanks for the suggestion.💚😊🐶
Hi Carmen, nice work, beautiful cacti, greetings from Serbia !
Thank you! Cheers!😊💚🐶
Nice video carmen. I’m not into cactus but I found this very interesting. Actually I was in Ikea today and I was close to buying a tiny cacti.
That's the way to start, with a tiny cactus! 🌵😊💚.
So you plant them with callus facing up correct? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This is very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I just did a cutting to try it.
Do you sell live plants of San Pedro or mescaline?
Your salt and pepper hair looks really good...!
I learned a lot from this video . Very interesting and informative. Many thanks! Take care and stay safe. Much love to our girl Rosie!! 👏🥰❤️
Glad you enjoyed it and it was helpful. Rosie sends her regards! 💚😊🐶
This is a great video! I wonder what the next few years will bring. It seems to grow so fast.
I'm looking forward to it growing some arms. 💚😊🐶
They generally grow around 50 centimetres a year. Particularly if fertilised
Hey Carmen! Thank you for making this video! I live in Canada and have a san Pedro cactus ( indoors). I have read and watched so many videos on how to propagate it but this was the best info I found ! I'm attempting to dry the cuttings indoors and praying they don't rot or die ..any tips for indoor drying ?? It's winter here or I would have put them outside during summer time. Finger crossed this works as it's my fave plant I have
So glad you enjoyed the video and it was helpful. If you're drying them indoors, I would choose the room that has the lease humidity and maybe dry them up to 10 days instead of 7. You can check the cutting by pressing your finger on the wound and see if it feels dry and firm. Good luck!
Dry air and yellow sulphur.
Hi! Very helpful video! My cactus was recently broken in half by our naughty dogs so I am going to let it callous, and then plant like your video, but in a new pot.
Do you have suggestions for what type of soil content I need for it? My first one was gifted to me and already had an established soil so I'm unsure what it needs ♡
I like to use Tank's Green Stuff Cactus soil. But, you need very fast draining and chunky soil. If you do use store bought soil, add some perlite to make it chunkier.
🤩
💚😊🐶
I just did this with my euphorbia --fingers crossed!🤞
That's great! Let me know how it goes. 😊💚🐶
So I can plant the green part down in the pot if I am able to repot my plant .
Yes, just make sure you have let it hardened off for a few days. That will reduce the chance of it rotting when watered.
😊💚
💚😊🐶
Do you know what kind of soil is being used? I’ve seen some soil that’s for cacti, palm and citrus and normal potting soil.
I have a whole bunch that needs a good trim and I want to make sure I give them the right soil.
Basically 2/3 normal potting mix WITHOUT added fertiliser and the remaining 1/3 perlite. I have about 200 cacti of this family. Cacti fertiliser is quite different from regular fertiliser and it should only get it twice a year in the hotter months. That's why you don't want potting soil with fertiliser in it. And the formula I explained here is the standard amongst cacti people because we see cacti potting mix as a rip off.
thx mexican woman that is indeed a pachanoi but PC. I needs more water and sun
Hi. Great video! 💚When they don't have roots and you're trying to get roots, how often should you give them water. I'm scared to cause root rot 😳 when you do give the cutting water so you just mist the top layer a little or water all the way through?
I wait at least a week for the cutting to harden off. Then place it in dry soil. I wait another week before giving it a first watering. Make sure it's a gritty mix for cacti or succulents. I then wait till it's dry again before watering again. Good luck!
@@carmenwhitehead thank you. I followed your directions 💚 it's so hard not to water. Lol
💚❤️🌱❤️💚
💚😊🐶
Hi Carmen, I have a question, I noticed the cactus has a thicker part in the middle and narrow part at the top. I have a cactus that has that narrowed part as well. Can you tell why this happens.
That means a lighting change. It didn't get enough sun during that growth period. So, perhaps during the winter. But, now that it's summer I have mine in the morning sun.
@@carmenwhitehead thank you Carmen, the cactus is in my yard and I did use an umbrella during the summer last year. Mine gets sun all day. I use the umbrella when it’s really hot. Last summer we had weeks of 100 degrees so I tried to protect my plants. Thanks again 🌵👍🏻
I do not have any cactus but looks like you did a great job.
Good information Carmen. I can’t seem to get my Euphoria ghost to grow at all. Any tips friend? I’m in zone 10
I would try some brighter light, not direct sun, but brighter. Also, try some diluted liquid fertilizer, or simply a tablespoon of worm castings worked into the top of the soil. Hope this helps. 😊💚🐶
Thanks Carmen, I have it in bright light but will definitely add worm castings
I just discovered these after watching a fascinating documentary The green Planet by Richard Attenborough. I would love to have a few of these. where can I buy them?
You can sometimes find them at Lowes or Home Depot. Good luck!
Almost all the ones in the USA are cuttings from a strain called "PC" and that's what Carmen has here. In other countries there are PILES of other strains but the US mainly has "PC" which is strange because they originate from South America.
Is it an absolute must to callus prior to transplanting arms/cuts to the soil?
It reduces the chance of the arm rotting
@@carmenwhitehead thanks 😊👍
@@thecuriousquest No problem, you're welcome!
When you cut it do you have to wait a couple of days to repot or can you just repot immediately?
I always wait a few days and let the cut portion dry over or callous over, before placing in soil. This will help reduce rotting.
If you don't let it dry well, it will just rot a big brown mess and you have to start again after cutting the rotten base off and getting a new batch of soil. Also don't keep the soil damp while rooting. Let it dry out almost completely before watering pretty well but not enough to make it flow out the bottom of the pot. Most people keep it barely damp. Columnar cacti are crazy in the fact that they can start roots by LAYING DOWN. I have a 3 inch chunk broken off from collapse after wind that has rooted although the chunk is a messy piece. It has a huge big shoot coming up from it about 9 inches long, just from that ragged 3 inch piece laying on the ground. Someone dug it up from sand and I bought it from them.
Was your soil already moist when you repotted it so it can grow roots?
No, the soil was dry and I didn't water until 12 days later. Now it will go on it's regular watering of when the soil is completely dry.
@@carmenwhitehead thanks I was confused on that part.
So interesting. I would get some cacti if I lived in the southwest. Are there eatable cacti? It seems I heard that there was.
Yes, the Prickly pear cactus with the flat large leaves. It's popular in Mexico.
Have you tried it? Is it good?
@@sheilacasper2030 No, I've never tried it. I think it's an acquired taste.
Nopales...
Good video , Do you think when you cut a cactus that it will encourage pups ?
Yes, definitely. This one grew pups around the area I cut.
Thank you for your time , got some new cuttings today . Seems they are drying out very fast , I'm not sure why
@@markdale278 They may be ready to be planted up. good luck!
Thank you
Carmen how long.do you let your cuttings dry before planting and how.long before you alow sun light ?
What happens when u smoother the cut part In cinnamon that’s what I did?? My poor plant does not look fat and juicy like urs 😟 my plant looks small and Veiny like. I am going to have to re cut mine because I didn’t it at a slant
You may want to give it more sun to make it a little chunkier. good luck!
Don't worry about the slant. Doesn't really matter. Cinnamon keeps the fungi from attacking the fresh cut. Personally I use sulphur because that's the industrial version. And because local vineyards have literally tons and my father got a bunch.
its growing thin from lack of light
Etolation. Warmth but not enough light.
Hello, nice tutorial, but it seems to be not real San Pedro, but PC 😉
I distinctly noticed that also. Here in Australia where we can have whatever cacti we want (in 3 states), I have about 200, NONE which are PC. And although it's rare, YES, we have the really special type if you know what I mean. Only seen it a few times though. Couldn't believe they're completely spike free.
Does this work with Euphorbia too?
You need a Saws-all to cut them 😂
Yes, it does work with Euphorbias too. You just need to be extra careful with the sap instead of the spines. But, You would follow the same steps. Good luck!
The saw versus the knife is based on the age and thickness. Small ones you can cut right thru with a knife, big ones are DAMN hard sawing. I have cuttings bigger than the thickest part of my arm.
I missed Rosie. 😩
Next video, I promise! 🐶💚😊.
That poor cactus is just screening for my ore light
Is that a San Pedro though? Based on all the info I can find, those ribs are supposed to be fat not skinny. Unless that's another thing the Internet is lying about
