Thanks for the video, I just planted one ,I bought it from local nursery, and that is $30 only half size of the one you planted, I wish mine go well , and good luck to yours too.
All of our cuttings did just fine with a good soak early on, but we wouldn't suggest keeping the soil damp or watering too frequently before the roots come in! Thanks for sharing! :D
Joseph Mauricio Flores I agree. Plants with no roots cannot utilize water and they risk rotting before rooting, especially when planted in a mix heavy in organics. Cacti grow in mineralized soil with few organics.
can i graft a very old 400mm Gymnocalycium genus to the top of a ""cereus repandus"Peruvian apple cactus" with a rootstock size off about 200mm"" is it worth the risk of killing the Gymnocalycium genus ,how likely is this to work. or would it be too top heavy THANKS
That's a great question! We have no experience with grafting cactus but it sounds like it could be possible if you provide a good structure for the plant. Please let us know how it does!
We love all plants, whether they produce fruits that are edible for humans or not! Almost all cactus will produce fruits, but some are only edible to birds and insects. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to buy a Peruvian apple cactus cutting from us, we have some to share! :)
That's an option too! We have done both, but like to be able to baby the plant while it is developing roots. When it's in a pot for its first year, it can be moved in and out of shade as needed. :)
How do you tell if the fruit is ripe or not kinda annoyed that I know I have one of these in my front yard that gives like 5 fruits but the damn birds and ants get to them first
Sharing fruit with the birds is going to happen :) You can buy little nylon "socks" to wrap fruits in to keep birds from accessing them. They'll be ripe when they are red. You can always try the half of the fruit that the birds didn't peck into to see if you like them!
@@GreeniesGarden there's many cacti that have mescaline. The San Pedro or trichocerius pacanoi is one of the weakest. Check out a page called trouts notes. Its mentions alot of cacti..from active to just garden or edible. The T. Peruvianas, Lophaphora all the way to the stetsonia Corinne is active with mescaline..I personally never have tried it, but do got over 400 active plants growing with my garden partner. I've enjoyed your videos so far, and am looking forward to the next ones coming.
I have about 10 of them growing on my property in Port Charlotte Florida , they have a flat taste nothing to write home about , easy to grow break off a branch and stick it in the ground except Watch out for the cactus thorns , I got stabbed with one of them ended up in the emergency room for some reason it generate immense amount of pain , I am fighting an infection in my leg from these cactus thorns .
Greenies Garden thank you on the light side of things , I had a woman knock on my door I believe she was Jamaican or maybe South American anyway she wanted to look at the cactus to see if it is similar to the cactus they have in their country , after she looked at it I was told it is not exactly what they have in the country , I think I know what she was talking about a cactus that looks similar to this one it's called the San Pedro cactus except the San Pedro have LSD , it is used in Peru the same way peyote is used in self United States , oh well you can't win them all .
The fruit tastes very much like dragon fruit. Some are better than others depending on growing conditions but since dragon fruits are now $5-7 per each fruit we will be growing both kinds!
Awesome! I already have five prickly pears, two teddy bear cholla, one jumping cholla, two beavertail cacti, and three of something inedible (all propagated and FREE, praise the Lord!). I hope to get dragon fruit and Peruvian apple cactus soon, too. They will be a great addition, thanks for showing me how!
Best of luck with your cuttings
Thank you! We will keep you updated on this for sure!
Happy growing guys.... I also just planted 3 of these today & my fingers are crossed on rooting. Goodluck🤞🏾
Hope your cactus cuttings took root! :)
@@GreeniesGarden thank you .. Everything I planted this spring/summer is doing great.
Thanks for the video, I just planted one ,I bought it from local nursery, and that is $30 only half size of the one you planted, I wish mine go well , and good luck to yours too.
Hope your cactus is doing well!
Water it heavily? It has no roots, you should wait till it roots before watering it

How is it doing so far?
They are doing really good so far!! We will make an update video!
+Greenies Garden Awesome! I can't wait to see
Just posted an update last night! :D Have an awesome day!
LOL THE DOG
How to get the cuttings? I am from India.
can i graft a very old 400mm Gymnocalycium genus to the top of a ""cereus repandus"Peruvian apple cactus" with a rootstock size off about 200mm"" is it worth the risk of killing the Gymnocalycium genus ,how likely is this to work. or would it be too top heavy THANKS
That's a great question! We have no experience with grafting cactus but it sounds like it could be possible if you provide a good structure for the plant. Please let us know how it does!
It’s actually better to have a 45 degrees angle cut as there is a bigger area for rotes to come out from.
Great point, thanks for sharing!
why didnt you let dry or root before planting?
We let them callous over for at least 3 days before planting. :)
I did the same thing with the flower lol I cut a small piece that had 5 flowers it managed to flower all of them within a couple of days
Do you ever add rooting hormone to the end before planting?
Yes we have done that before, you can also water it with seaweed extract to encourage root development.
i hate plants that dont flower or produce fruits and i thought cactus are all like that....now its time to look for this kind of cactus :D
We love all plants, whether they produce fruits that are edible for humans or not! Almost all cactus will produce fruits, but some are only edible to birds and insects. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to buy a Peruvian apple cactus cutting from us, we have some to share! :)
Is that trichocereus Peruvianus?
I think it's technically classified as something different than that now, but yes it is! :D
Lol, I guess I'm old school
The best way to be :D
This is Cereus peruvianus not trichocereus Peruvianus
David Rissanen es un cereus, mira las costillas y las alvéolas de las espinas
Why not just plant straight into the ground?
That's an option too! We have done both, but like to be able to baby the plant while it is developing roots. When it's in a pot for its first year, it can be moved in and out of shade as needed. :)

Can you cross polling with Dragon fruit
I don't believe so, but why not give it a try! :)
can you make video on how they are doing
Great idea! We do have updates to share! Keep watching, we'll highlight them in the near future!! :D
We finally made an update on these cactus last night! Have a great day!!
+Greenies Garden awesome already checked it out great video can't wait to see fruit
You're on top of it!! :D Thanks for watching!!
is it edible? can it be used as mescaline?
It's edible and makes a fruit that is similar to dragonfruit, but it's not hallucinogenic. That would be the San Pedro you're thinking of :)

Do you know if you got cuttings from a male also?
Odamn..
As far as we're aware, there are no male vs female cactus, only male and female plant parts within the flowers. :)
I’m in the west valley, been looking for one of these and can’t find one😔
Please feel free to send us an email and we'd be happy to talk to you about a cutting or a potted Peruvian :)
Bonjour. BRAVO. Je recherche une bouture... Pouvez vous m'en envoyer une dites moi votre prix. Merci

That's an awesome collection!! Nothing beats a free cutting from a friend! :D Thanks for watching!!
