Thanks Indicat33 hoping to have a few pillars come up once spring really hits down here. Going to try to take some cuttings, read it was easy with san pedro.

Got my first San Pedro about two weeks ago at a Lowes garden center Been on the lookout for a year or two now and out of the blue there she was waiting for me. Fun stuff.

Have you tried it yet? I've read about their inconsistencies and just seeing if some run of the mill nurseries are gonna have some san pedro that get the job done

No, the cactus I got came with two pillars both about 15 inches tall. Ones a five star and ones a seven. I will probably cut them both in half come springtime when I plant outdoors and let them grow new sprouts from there. Ill extract the juice from the cuttings and give her a whirl then!

You can get a jump on the season if your cuttings are big enough.

Cut them now. Put the cuttings indoors. Let them scab over. Once they have done that pit a few inches in deep shade somewhere in your house. Like a couple of paper bags inside each other. If you have some rooting gell it would help to daub a bit on, not much, if not, no problem. Ill bet you get primary root formation before you are ready to plant.
