I've gotten several pieces of San Pedro cactus I'd like to root. I have a couple questions that I haven't been able to find answers to.

Most of the pieces are the bottom of cut off branches, so there is less/no area to callus. Is this fine, or should I cut the bottom end off?

Also many of the pieces have a Woody broken off stem protruding from the bottom where the branches were attached to the main cactus, should these woody bits be trimmed back flush with the cactus?

They'll chuck out roots when they're ready, I guess trimming of the raggedy bits might mean less things to pick up rot later. It takes a fair effort to get them to rot anyhow, IME.

Good luck with the cacti Love




“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."

Thanks, think I'm going to trim the more rough Woody bits back.

I'm guessing that I don't have to reset my callus timer unless I hit soft flesh.
