About flowering I just moved into a new sharehouse in Melbourne, there's a San Pedro in the backyard, in a terracotta pot, rooooooooot bound Af and has fallen into another bush, and at the top of the cacti has 3 flowers!
I always found that terracotta pots dried out my cactus faster than any other pots. My terracotta potted cactus needed almost 2x the water normal pots did. Put it in the ground if you can, best way to go.
I think it’s great that people from outside of the USA and Mexico are taking an interest in the conservation of peyote. It’s illegal to cultivate in its native habitat and all of the US, unless protected by being a member of a bonafide religion, which allows protection under the 1st amendment. I am curious what efforts are being made in other countries to protect an American plant. I know the Peyote Way of God church in Arizona USA is playing an active role propagation and allowing, as far as I know, anyone, to participate.
If you join the native american church in the USA you can legally possess and consume peyote in most states but I read that cultivation is still limited to those with a certain percentage native american blood. The best way to conserve the species is to legalize peyote cultivation. Why is a plant illegal in the first place? Who has the right to say you can’t grow a plant?
Yes bees can get polination dun to completion, let 3 big big pachanois open pollinate eatch other this year just by bee and got about 60+ grams of seed, 98% of the flowers ternd to frute that beard seed so yes yez they can 👍🌵🐝
I didn't know san Pedro cactus had fruit. I have been growing San Pedro's for above it three years and my San Pedro's are growing quite big but no flowers or fruit
In the wet tropics I have seen ants, some micro bats, bees, and flies all having a lick of the pollen. Accounting for at least a little bit of airborne pollen transmission I very rarely tickle the stigma myself. Also, I think a lot of the seeds that are available in Australia are coming from a handful of aged collections, as well as grafted specimens. I believe we have a fair amount of genetic diversity in the Australian collections however with large grafted specimens you're more likely to see clones/cuttings as gifts as well, at least in my experience. I think I've given away at least 20+ small buttons that have all come off of one mother.

Thanks guys, infinite thumbs up for you.
The most effective way to conserve peyote would be to legalize it.

I hope you will also make a video on How to properly identify Mescaline rich San Pedro Cactus. Thanks Mate
I have a San Pedro cactus 3 year old top cut its been in the ground 3 years and was wondering when it will bloom
bone meal fertilizer☠ is awesome👌
Great to see some sponsored research is being done in this direction. Australia has been slow and still lags...

"I very rarely tickle the stigma myself" ~ but, the ladies told me they like it.
