Skip all this crap and just go buy a pad from a Hispanic food store. The edible cactus pads have calloused enough to just plant them straight into a pot and start growing. I just keep putting them in a pot in a very shaded area with indirect sunlight and watering, and they start growing new pads within two or three weeks.
It could be both a good or bad sign because blooming takes a lot of nutrients from a cactus which means it could be healthy or it could be using its last amount of energy but, it’s probably a good sign
Blooming can sometimes be a sign that a plant is unsure of its condition (stressed out) and is rushing to reproduce to ensure the survival of the species. This is only really bad if it hasnt rooted yet because the plant is essentially giving up lol
@@nestyhestysometimes species reproduce when they think they’re gonna die though so it could be bad if it doesnt take root soon. Like you said itll put all its energy into fruiting and might die as a result
Don't listen to the naysayers, cactus are some of the most primitive plants around and they've been here for thousands of years, you don't need any cutting powder nor root hormone, they're naturally loaded with root hormones! All you gotta do is literally cut it, you can even break it and stick it in the ground and they'll grow! If they can grow in the desert with absolutely no help from man whatsoever, yours will be perfectly fine!
@@andrepalomaro353 Where do you come up with this BS??? " it'll put all of its energy into fruiting and may die as a result", that's a bunch of crap! The fact is, it'll put only 'some of the energy" into fruiting and the thing will continue to root and grow, regardless!
Good job
So someone can go get their tunas & decide which ones are for today’s lunch & which are for propagation.
Tuna? Im confused.
@@powerband5235 I heard that in places like Mexico they call prickly pear fruit “Tunas”
@@Barakon oh ok. Got it 👍
Actually, Those are the Nopales (or as the gringos say, cactus paddles) The "Tunas" are the fruit they produce.

Do you put water in the first cup?
no, you want the cut to dry out
wondering too
@@jezzsszzy no, they even said in the short to let it dry out all the way. Otherwise, it can rot.
You don’t! It’s just open to air.

When I hear free, your arguments become mute.

I did everything the same accept using that powder it’s not rooted yet but it bloomed I think that’s a good sign
