Hi, I gather that as a new member, and not yet completed the questionnaire, (but fitting in a few questions each day), it is not yet possible for me to post any photo, (please correct me if I am mistaken in that.)

I hope it is O.K. however, to show off my growing prowess, via the images added to the bottom of this link.

No need to read the words in the link, and keep scrolling past the image that is the same as my avatar, down to the bottom, where are two photos of San Pedro in pots.

The first two cacti in the first photo, started as small cuttings, of a narrow variety of San Pedro, which came to me unnamed, and each with six ribs, and in each case, the pups now grown from the cutting, have five ribs.

The second photo, is of a San Pedro commonly called Super Pedro, (at least I think it is a Super Pedro since it is a fast grower). I found it in the backyard of a friend of a friend, who said they no longer wanted it, and it had suffered scale bug infestation, but was quite tall. It got cut up and spread out into various pots as cuttings. In this photo, is the original stem and roots on the right, and a small cutting on the left. Now the latest pup to grow on the right, has seven ribs. Yet I already had a seven rib pup grown from a T.peruvianus, of which the seventh rib, eventually gave up, and now it is six ribbed again. Therefore I don't know if it will stay that way. On the left, the first pup out of the cutting, is obvious with six ribs, but if you look closer, down near the soil, is a tiny little five rib pup, AND, it is growing super slow!

Hello,

To attach pictures, write your post as you normally would, but be sure to check the "attach files to post?" box. Then hit post. It will bring you to another screen in which you can upload pictures. Hope this helps and welcome to the forum!

Thanks

In the second image, the tiny five ribs pup, is older than the seven rib on the right. The seven rib on the right is however attached to the original tap root. The short cutting the five rib pup is the second pup and grew at the base of, began as a foot long cutting reserved in a dark cupboard, (because sometimes junkies question me about such plants and may have liked to be shown), which sprouted a root before sprouting any pup. I cut it up and planted the small segment with a root, which by now had a few pups. One got eaten by the possums, then grew another pup inside the bite, then got eaten again, before the smallest pup began lower down. The possums are now regular visitors to my kitchen, knowing every way in, and what foods might be available where.
