I was told by a friend that he has seen some internet content where a guy was cutting his cacti after a certain height every time a new pup is formed. Apparently the mother cacti was pupping quite symmetrically and thus he achieved a pretty funny structure of its plant.
Actually besides looking funny, I could imagine that would be a pretty nice plant to harvest cuttings, as it is simply all generated from 1 single origin plant.
Here is a link to a video:
Picture is attached. Have you seen something like this? It looks totally awkward while fascinating and funny at the same time.
I have read in the small/old san pedro cultivation book by patrick noll (here on nexus as a download I think?) that you can add certain ground plant powder (dont remember actual plant) to your cacti and it will start pupping more frequently due to some hormones or similar in this other plants powder. But it was told that it could backfire and new pups being fairly etiolated (not sure if it then would be the correct term) or in other words 10 pups instead of 1, but also with only 1/10 of the mass, which would result in a pretty bad growth. Apparently it is not happening with this particular examle or the owner does not even use this powder, which would question me if that growth would be normal?
Cheers and happy friday evening![Love :love: :love:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
