QUICK san pedro dosing question

[tpacha]

ialways see these figures for how much cactus i should eat in fresh weight of the cactus or the dry weight. if i ordered a cactus CUTTING online, when it got here would it be fresh weight still? or would the travel have dried it out some. i can't make a good estimate of how much i should eat wihtout knowing whether its dry or fresh. thx

Depends on the distance and how it was shipped.


Instead of doing the cutting, why not plant the cutting and as it grows take cuttings from the plant and plant these so you'll have a fresh continual supply of cactus? A little patience here will reap you a wealth of pleasures.

It will definelty not try out even if it takes a long time to ship. you should dose it considering its fresh. ive found a good dose to be almost 2 foot in the blender and boiled downa bit

Bodhisattva500 is correct that your cutting will not dry out during
shipping. Two feet in most cases should be a pretty good dose. If
you do decide to plant your cutting make sure that you allow the wound
to callous. If your cutting has been freshly cut, this could take
up to 6+ weeks, however in my experience allowing your cutting to heal
for around 2 weeks is sufficient. If you do not allow the
cutting's wound to hear, there is a good chance your plant will
rot. May I also suggest doing what you please with the cutting
and purchasing trichocereus pachanoi seeds. You can find around a
1000 seeds for under $20 at many web vendors. San Pedro is
extremely easy to grow from seed and grows at an incredible rate
compared to some cacti. Use a well drained soil such as a mixture
of loam, sand, and perlite in equal parts. If you are having
trouble with germination, try placing the seeds in a damp paper towel
and placing the paper towel in a zip lock bag. In a few days you
will have San Pedro seedlings. Good luck
