I know a horticulture professor and he cringes everytime i bring up taxonomy or binomial nomenclature of cacti.

i obtained this from mesa gardens...as a T. psuedocandicans suppose to get "huge yellow salmon red" flowers when mature but it shows considerable differences with regard to spination then the lead post picture labelled T.psuedocandicans. The spines are bigger than the diameter of the cacti and have a wavy-ness to them also the areoles appear to be further apart.... This one feels very nice in a metaphorical way of course. haha

More often then not this is the way to go.....Likey!

Hi Qualia Yes, take a chance, i would love to hear a first hand report before hand but your right i should end up with at least one plant-able cutting no matter. a pioneer....LOL I dont know about all that but yea it would a good propagation method to multiply the number of plants. Best, Paisano

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the tips. No one however addressed cutting the log into sections AFTER it has roots.... I want 5 sections (each with roots allready) on the foot long section. The goal is to get that log to put roots down all over so i can get five seperate sections with roots.... i dont really care if each section put out slow small growth the first year.... id rather get five separate small plants than one with a couple large pups. No one has tried this???

Hi Jack, do your mid sections grow roots all up and down the underside without hormone or do you just get one patch of roots......Read above and it explains what im trying to get first hand report of. best, Paisano

Hi qualia I been vibing on some of your tracks of the day! oh yea the cutting will be dry according to this advice it is supposed to shoot out roots in the box....under the bed....but thats not really what i am asking.... I am more interested about the cutting the log into 5 sections after it has roots. Each of the 5 sections with roots..I think that is the point of using root hormone ...so that the log puts down rooots all along the underside and not in just one spot. In this way it will be able to be cut into 5 sections all with their own roots then re-dry the fresh cut sections......do you know if that works to get five plants from the one foot long log? It sounds like a winner but i have not read or heard of anyone doing this xcept the person who advised....im looking for a second opinion. Best, Paisano.

OOOOO i like moisture pipe idea! I have some trichocereus cactus plants that were neglected and laid down as seedlings and have numerous side roots that sprouted then.... I dont do anything with them and the plant is very healthy at this point. One thing you could do before your growing season begins is plant it deeper the soil so its exposed neck can support the cactus. If you do this just dont water it at all for about 6 weeks then very little water for the next 4 weeks... then should be good to go. I try to time it up with the arrival of spring so its all ready to be watered.... Cheers!

Hi everyone. Ive been given advice to leave mid section cuttings in a box on newspaper for the winter months while applying rooting hormone on the half of the cutting that rests on the newspaper. That this will result in roots growing from many different points on the "log" cutting. Then when spring rolls around cut the "log" into sections (5) making sure each cut section has its own roots and let these newly cut sections heal and plant them in dry medium. Wait about 6 weeks and start watering a likkle bit. So if propagated in this manner you should get at least 5 new plants for every log you root this way..... Does anyone have experience doing this? It sounds like a good propagation method but ive never seen this done. Most people just root the log section standing vertical or lay it down in soil horizontal and get a pup or maybe two. Any advice on rooting mid section cuts would be appreciated. How do you do it. Whats your success rate? Do you like the method i described above? What risks if any does this method pose? Thanks .......
