Im happy finally my new cactus arrived:
From left to right:
T. pachanoi - San Pedro (Matucana, Peru) - In pot
T. pachanoi - San Pedro Monstruosus
T. bridgesii - Achuma
T. bridgesii - Achuma
T. peruvianus - Peruvian Torch (Matucana, Peru)
T. peruvianus - Peruvian Torch (Matucana, Peru)
T. pachanoi - San Pedro
T. pachanoi - San Pedro (Neglected/stressed)
Now a few questions I have:
1- The four cact on the right have already roots on the bottom, I suppose this means I can plant directly?
2- Are those 4 cact on the right big enough to cut in half to make it into 8 cuttings? If so, can I directly plant the bottom part with the roots or should I wait for the part where I cut the top to scar? Any more tips on this?
3- For the non-rooted ones (and the tops I will cut off from the rooted cact), should I wrap them up in newspaper and keep them in the dark so they start rooting?
4- Is the typical generic cactus soil mix from any garden store good enough to use as-is for those cactus, or should I look for something else?
Thanks!!
