Unrooted cactus

Televators · #1 02-10-2007, 23:39

Hey there, i'm just wondering how long one could potentially leave a San Pedro unrooted before deciding to process it. Basically do they go off..

Eventually, but properly stored, at least 6 months, maybe a year.

San Pedro (and many other cacti) are incredibly resiliant. SWIM should get some potting soil and gravel and place the critter in it in a pot. Water it now and then. It will spring back to life after a long period of dormancy. It's amazing to see 'em do this - and they will!

Sometimes they sprout pups while sitting out unrooted. Make sure that the ends of the cutting are dry before potting.

Ok, thanks for the advice guys..

SWIM was planning to keep the cactus unrooted for a few months, then extract the juice, but now may try and pot it and see what happens. Bigger the better, right?
