This morning I harvested 16" from my large San Pedro, I wanted to know if there are any special precautions or growing tips I should employ to keep my parent plant healthy after the cutting.

Thanks,
Once

if its humid or cool, not a bad idea to dust fresh cut with sulfur.

Thanks DG, so it should just callous up and continue to grow normally?

Its also a good idea to cut the top of the parent plant so that water does not collect and start rot. I like to cut one of the ribs away to make a vein to let out any moisture.

its advised to cut diagonally so water wont acumulate on the top of the scar and eventually rot.

Yes, one inclined cut per rib, with the appropriate slope so that the water would flow from the center to the exterior.
