I live in Florida, have many many cactus around the house. Never did it proffesionaly, even my neighbords have huge cactus from my main cactus plant. BUT, a simple question, is there a special composte to grow cactus? I always did it putting pieces on the ground, here in Fl. we have a lot of sand. Now Im planing to remove 2 huges plants, ( non cactus) and grow at least 4 pieces on each side of the front yard as a project. Any special compost? Or keep doing what im doing just put cactus on the ground? Att: some die😭 80% grow
@SanPedroSource23 сағат бұрын
We suggest a ratio of roughly 40-50% percent inorganic material like perlite or horticultural pumice to organic material such as peat moss and coco coir so that the water drains well. A well draining soil mixture, ensuring the cut end of the cactus is callused (if you're not using a rooted cutting), and not watering for the first 2-4 weeks will really help! No special compost is needed, though rooting hormone can help. Let us know if that answers your question :)

Hi. I've bought Peyote seedlings and instead of replanting them, I would like to know if I can graft them onto San Pedro rootstock. Its the start of winter here now, so will it still work if I do it now? They are a year old.
@SanPedroSource4 күн бұрын
It definitely is possible but it's recommended to do this during warmer seasons, as both cacti will be actively growing. If you can do this indoors with controlled light and temperature, that can help!

@SanPedroSourceКүн бұрын
Hey there! Unfortunately we do not ship outside of the United States at this time. If you're planning on getting a San Pedro for your garden make sure to protect it from colder temps by using frost blankets or bringing it indoors or to a greenhouse (if possible). Trichocereus Terscheckii / Argentine Saguaro are a more cold tolerant option but you'll still need to be careful.

I'm wondering how free draining the surrounding clay is, won't it trap water around the roots without more drainage? Also are a few days between planting and watering enough time for the roots to heal over and avoid rotting?
@SeductiveSpaceship2310 күн бұрын
You should *always* wait about 14 days to water after repotting/damaging roots to avoid root rot. Generally the soil should be well draining but I guess they can adapt to various circumstances. Trichocereus are very resilient plants. Some would even say they're hard to kill.
@SanPedroSource23 сағат бұрын
Since we backfilled the hole we dug with plenty of well draining soil, the root system will be centered in that and do just fine (even when the natural soil around it is full of clay that doesn't drain well). And yes! We recommend waiting 1-2 weeks to water to allow the cactus time to acclimate to the planting, moisture in the soil used, etc.
@exzactlyy16 сағат бұрын
@SanPedroSource Thanks, I was thinking that the surrounding clay would act like a seal, so with enough rain and nowhere to drain to, the hole containing the cactus root ball could fill up and stay wet for a while

@SanPedroSourceАй бұрын
While the San Pedro can tolerate some cold, it is maybe not the best choice for areas with prolonged snowfall and freezing temperatures. You can, however, use protective measures like frost blankets to provide an extra layer of insulation, trapping heat from the ground and helping to keep the cactus above freezing temperatures. Just make sure to cover before frost hits.

It can take between 5-10 years depending on the type of trichocereus it is, growing conditions, if it's a flowering type, etc. The first 2 years it will be pretty tiny, then it starts to get sizeable but won't flower until they're mature.

How can you identify them all as san pedro and then comparing them to san pedro?
@SanPedroSource2 ай бұрын
That's a fair question! It's a common and accepted naming convention in the San Pedro community when you're talking about these cacti. Besides the umbrella term "San Pedro", we reference the Trichocereus pachanoi/Echinopsis Pachanoi as its common name "San Pedro" for time and ease, and the others as their common names as well (Peruvian, Bolivian, etc). We can understand how that might be confusing at first.

It's very important to allow the cut end of the cactus to callus over. This creates a protective barrier that helps prevent moisture from entering the plant, reducing the risk of rot. We suggest taking the plant out to inspect it, cut it again if there is any damage or soft/dark brown spots, and let it callus properly before replanting. Hope this helps!
