Trichocereus pachanoi
The San Pedro cactus is the name given to the species of the genus Trichocereus (T. pachanoi, T. peruvianus and T. Terscheckii and T. bridgesii) which comprises about thirty species, mainly found in the Andes. It is a large columnar cactus that grows up to heights of twenty feet. This cactus is easy to grow. Comes viable and ready to root. The San Pedro is most common and the most popular cactus.
Used traditionally by the indians in Peru for divinatory purposes, now the cactus is sold as a reminder of a dieing culture. Preserve a dieing culture and grow a pachanoi cactus from one of our cuttings.

Grows over a foot a year. Easy to root from a cutting.
Roll up the cactus in a newspaper and spray the newspaper lightly every other day for a couple weeks. The cactus will start to search for water by growing roots and will lengthen and grow pups to start to look for light. It will wick up the water as it needs it. It does not require much water to spark this cactus to produce roots. Sometimes just a humid atmosphere will do it. These guys want to live! You can even merely spray the cactus and newspaper with water daily or ever other day. Just a hint of water will work. After you see the pups you can break them off and place the base in soil. And you can then plant the original cutting to root as well.
Another way to make root is to place a wet newspaper over the area you want roots to appear. Leave in a dim room and wait for a couple weeks. Make sure to keep the newspaper moist. Soon roots will appear. Usually two to three weeks. Plant as above and watch it grow. It grows fairly fast.
