    I have a few san pedro cuttings. Some are as big as a foot and others are like 4-6 inches. I let them dry. Im going to plant them

    I read that they cannot root in cold weather. I live in the southern US so its not too cold yet but will be in a few weeks. If i plant them will they have trouble rooting? Should i keep them inside under a floro?

    WHen i plant them i want to plant them dry correct? Will putting a rooting hormone on them help?

    Thanks im new to the cactus thing :)

    you can go ahead and root them in pots outdoors, in a sunny spot. if its not too cold....

    when it gets cold take them inside to go dormant for the winter.

    Good for you. Once you realize how extremely easy they are to grow. You'll wish you had stronger trichs. They are going to grow slow regardless in the winter. If you are going to pot them. You might try and find a place inside. Indirect sunlight is the best. They get darker green in indirect. All you need my man is a 1gallon pot to start and regular potting soil. Don't be fooled that you need some special planting mix. The cactus will grow without soil. Just the best potting soil you want to buy. Just put the damn cutting in the ground. If it is not a top then put the thing on its side and it will grow cactus up from the the original column.
