Thank you so much, my cactus has around 20 babies and I had been wandering around youtube trying to find a clear video. I really appreciate your clarity and look forward to checking out your other videos. Much ❤ 🇦🇺
An old lady told me if you need to move and repot a large heavy cactus, you can use two pieces of styrofoam to handle it safely. good video Ana. I have been using your cinnamon idea and have some pups and cutting doing well, thanks.
This video is shot and sweet, and got all information about propagation, watering etc. While propagation I have already rotted few of my cactus by over watering. This time i will follow this tips. Thanks
My absolute fav UA-cam girl u like cactus n coffee as much as I do I so enjoy your videos keep up girl.dont stop giving us good info and tips you rock!!!
I’ve often had success rooting cactus and succulent cuttings by just sticking them into the soil, but the extra steps, like letting the cut end dry and applying cinnamon and/or rooting powder, can’t hurt, and they may help.
Great video. One thing of note for a lot of people they don't pay attention to the concentration in their rooting powder, of the act of chemical. They all vary widely and can have either a positive or quite negative effect or very little effect at all. Cactus typically looking at a little bit above 1% maybe 1.3 which isn't really the easiest to find. A lot of them are either extremely low or extremely high
When seed grown this cactus naturally has a skinny base, which is able to support the thicker growth above. Ones with thick bases were grown from cuttings. ~ I love the photos of this species in habitat in Mexico. 12 feet tall and 15 feet wide! The cultivars, crest, etc. of this guy are also so cool.
Thanks for this great video. Just got a piece of damaged columnar cactus from a neighbor & cut off damaged part but not at a joint. I watched this & I’m going to follow this simple video & I’m hoping it will work the same for me. It seems super easy.
This is a FANTASTIC video Ana :-D and very informative on how to root Columnar cactus offsets, and wonderful that you have shown the success with the rooting too, thanks so much for sharing, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a wonderful day XXXX
Thank you so much, I (think) have a Saguaro Cactus in my home, it looks like your typical Cactus you see in cartoons :) I've been terrified of taking a couple of limbs off as they are colliding with others and it looks crowded. Having watched a few online tutorials I didn't get that warm fuzzy feeling but having watched yours I feel confident enough to tackle this now and the thought of having some mini-me Cactus growing along side papa Cactus sounds great.
Don't need a warm fuzzy feeling to propagate cacti. Cut, wait 2 weeks to dry (maybe put yellow sulphur on while wet), and then dip in water before SPRINKLING hormone rooting powder on, plant 3 or 4 inches deep if it's big with a stake, DON'T water, wait a week and the only spritz around the base. Job done. Of course LATER when it has roots it gets more water.
I rooted my small fairy castle cactus cutting in about 6 to 7 weeks with just air dry to callous the wound for about 2 to 3 days then replant in cactus soil mix and daily light misting of top layer of soil 🙂
Hello Anna just wanted to thank you for your this video i wasn't sure if rooting powder was a good idea to use on cactus 🌵🌱 but from your results I'd say yes but yes thank you once again and looking forward to your new content have an amazing year and a blessed Monday from California to Nevada many blessings your way
Great results Ana, they rooted well. I’ve not rooted any columnar cacti before but had good success rooting other types. I’ll be doing an update video in the spring on that Gymno and Aloe I had to cut the roots off of because of root mealies. Thank you for sharing with us as always Ana, from Edith & myself, have a wonderful day and Merry Christmas 😊🌵☀️🌼🌺🎄☕️
Oh that would be interesting to watch. 😃 Yes, I got lucky they rooted as I started with the process a bit late into the season. I hope they don’t mind me bothering their roots despite it being winter. 🤞
Well Ana , to start with , you have done a very fine job of showing the whole process of taking cuttings, potting up& what the roots look like when they come on. The only thing I've ever done differently is to just barely place the end into the soil and stake the cutting so it won't fall over with bamboo stakes. I just do this to keep the cut end from having too much moisture around the base. The method you have shown getting the stumps to produce offsets is also a great way to produce grafting stocks! Great and very informative video Ana!!!Great knowledge to share with your viewers!!!! Thanks for sharing with us all!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a great evening!!!!! Happy holidays to you and yours!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌸🌴🌷🌲🌻🌳🌺
Oh my gosh, Clyde! You read my mind. I was actually thinking of using this to experiment with grafts later on. I like your method too of just barely putting them in the soil. Others where there is high humidity, they just leave them out and they root in the air! 😄 Thanks for sharing your tip, Clyde. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Thanks for showing the results. I'm so glad you made this video and the one where you first took the initial cuttings. I have a geometrizans that I want to cut in the spring and your videos are great guides.😊👍
Thank you for posting this excellent video. I btoke off 2 pups from my Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis oxygona), let them dry out for 5 days, and put them in a small pot together. I just potted them a few minutes ago, literally. I was wondering if I should use rooting powder. Now that I have seen you use it, I will buy some and try it out on 2 other very small pups that I've seen on the same parent plant. Thank you so much, I have seen your videos in the past and I do learn from them.
I remember the first video. Glad these are doing well. I like Myrtilocactus. I think I have one and have the same problem. The bottom is too skinny. Scary to cut it but I think I have to.
It’s not recommended to dip a plant cutting directly into the jar of rooting powder. Instead, pour out a small amount of powder and dip your cutting in that. Don’t put any leftover powder back in the jar. The reason is that moisture from the plant can cause the rooting hormone to degrade. Light also degrades the hormone. So store the rooting powder in a sealed jar in a dark, dry place. Also, after dipping a cutting, shake off any excess powder. More rooting powder is not better. It says all this in the instructions on my jar of rooting hormone powder, but I’ve seen the same advice in a number of other sources.
Wonderful roots in those two cacti!😃👌. I don't have any columnar as big to do that but is good to know for the future. I believe you refer to the pruin (latin term: Pruina, pl. Pruinae) talking about the farina or white substance that cover the epicuticulae of cacti. Not sure if I used the right term in english, I put the latin scientific terms. Have a nice day!😘💕☮️🌵🌺🤗
Thanks for the cinnamon idea don't have rooting powder right now just starting out I've heard after planning you leave 3 weeks before watering San Pedro any way true or not
It is always best not to water right away after planting. The wait depends on how big your cutting/plant is and your weather. I usually wait 3 days up to a week.
Definitely! I’ve rooted many cacti without any rooting powder. You can even just use cinnamon, it will help too. Rooting powder just speeds up the process but for cactus, it is really not necessary. 🙂
I'm trying to save a cactus now. Is there some type of special soil that I should be using or should I just stick it next to the existing Cactus already in a pot
Try turface MVP for your soil. It drains like it’s going threw air yet it holds 3-4 times its weight in water. It’s easeyist to water by submerging it in (pot not full plant) water let it sit for roughly 4-5 minutes. Then let it rain it lets air to the roots as well.. I had Chester crostata that loved it. Watered when I dug down a inch to see how it was doling. It gets darker when it’s wet an lighter as the water is being used. Give it a try
Ciao e complimenti per i tuoi video non me ne perdo nemmeno uno!! Volevo chiederti; se quando facciamo delle nuove piante tramite i polloni, poi quando fioriranno se possibile impollinare tra loro? Grazie
My blue boy cactus is turning light yellow on one side after moving it outside from indoor in direct sun . The yellowing is not mushy and i only water till soil is dry , could it be that it’s getting burnt?
Yellow usually means sun stressed. Make the move from indoors to outdoors gradual. Give it some bright shade first, then slowly acclimate it to morning sun before you expose it to full sun. 🙂 Good luck!
Yes, rooting powder is always useful. But it is important to let the tap root heal and callous over before you plant the cactus in soil again. Any open cuts in the roots make it susceptible to disease.
Hi Anna, Question, I had to cut off my Echinopsis Rose Quarts and now having to re-root. After letting it callus, I set it on top of the soil and supported the cactus with tooth picks to hold it upright. Should I have buried a small portion of it in the soil instead of letting it sit on top? It's been a bout 2 months and no roots yet. However, it is growing a bud.
2 months is a little too long to not have roots yet. You can bury it a little and support it with rocks. Mist the top of the soil to encourage rooting.
Great video but I have a question, what happens to mother plant after you take the offsets? Do they continue to give off more offsets or do they grow on their own?
Thank you! They will continue to give off offsets while they can. But they will not grow anymore since the growing point at the top was already cut off. 🙂
Very grateful for your tutorial! I'm not a native English speaker, but your video is so easy to understand for me!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much, my cactus has around 20 babies and I had been wandering around youtube trying to find a clear video. I really appreciate your clarity and look forward to checking out your other videos. Much ❤ 🇦🇺

Merry Christmas Ana, I use your rooting method and it's given me good results all the time, I wouldn't change the method, it works. Great video.
I always love your vids Anna, and you have the most BOSS coffee mugs.
Your videos are so helpful! Can’t wait to propagate my very tall and top heavy cactus now. Using tongs is a great tip.
If you have a large cactus, you can hold it safely with two pieces of styrofoam. It protects you and is good to minimize damage to the cactus.

Can you tell me how often it should be watered?
Thanks for the cinnamon idea don't have rooting powder right now just starting out I've heard after planning you leave 3 weeks before watering San Pedro any way true or not
It is always best not to water right away after planting. The wait depends on how big your cutting/plant is and your weather. I usually wait 3 days up to a week.
I have enjoyed your program, I watch it on TY. After cutting the top grow off did you let them regrow new plants.
Yes, the bottom stump will keep producing new offsets. More propagation material. 🙂
Excellent and informative 👏🏾. TFS.
Hi anna can i just let it calus before potting it if i do not have rooting hormones
Definitely! I’ve rooted many cacti without any rooting powder. You can even just use cinnamon, it will help too. Rooting powder just speeds up the process but for cactus, it is really not necessary. 🙂
Very helpful thank you🤩🤩🤩💜💜

Hello Ann, can I don't use root hormone after calloused the offsets ??????
Thanks for the video.
Hello If I just stick my cuttings in the dirt will it still root?
Excellent!
Thanks for sharing 🌵❤️🙏🏽
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Very nice Ana. Are all rooting powder the same? Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️
So far among the brands that I’ve used , they all work the same. I also get the same result with just cinnamon. 😉 Merry Christmas to you as well! 🎄😃
Hi thank you for the content, so for the entire 11 weeks that it took to root these offsets was it in the shade
Okay to wait for roots to form before planting in the small pot?
I'm trying to save a cactus now. Is there some type of special soil that I should be using or should I just stick it next to the existing Cactus already in a pot
I’m hoping this can help save my catcus I overwatered and it broke I cut the soggy end off and waiting for it to callus noe
You did the right thing. Good luck. Hope they root well.
Have you ever tried cloning gels instead of powders? Or would that be counterproductive to the cut drying out?
I’ve never heard of cloning gels. I will look them up. Thank you! ☺️
Can I repot my blue mertil or san pedro right now in November? I live on Maui so still very hot here in winter
You can but protect it from getting too much rain. 🙂
@@CactusCaffeine okay thank you so much. And I should wait till soil is totally dry in their current pots correct?
Try turface MVP for your soil. It drains like it’s going threw air yet it holds 3-4 times its weight in water. It’s easeyist to water by submerging it in (pot not full plant) water let it sit for roughly 4-5 minutes. Then let it rain it lets air to the roots as well.. I had Chester crostata that loved it. Watered when I dug down a inch to see how it was doling. It gets darker when it’s wet an lighter as the water is being used. Give it a try

What kind of soil do you recommend?
My blue boy cactus is turning light yellow on one side after moving it outside from indoor in direct sun . The yellowing is not mushy and i only water till soil is dry , could it be that it’s getting burnt?
Yellow usually means sun stressed. Make the move from indoors to outdoors gradual. Give it some bright shade first, then slowly acclimate it to morning sun before you expose it to full sun. 🙂 Good luck!

I have a fair sized cactus and hurt the taproot. Will rooting powder help it?
Hopefully ur page is still active
I am spamming you hoping I can get a response. Ang asowa ko pilipina
Yes, rooting powder is always useful. But it is important to let the tap root heal and callous over before you plant the cactus in soil again. Any open cuts in the roots make it susceptible to disease.
Real cool
Awesome, thank you!

Thank you and welcome. Thanks for the visit. 😃🌵☕️
I hope my Ming Ting takes roots but I didn't use any rooting hormone on it.
It is not really necessary. I have rooted cactus without using any rooting powder before. Good luck!
I am little bit confused, you was able to do just after 3 dats, some sources say up to 10 weeks or smth.. huh, how can I figure out right time? :)
Do you recommend any rooting hormone brand the best?
So cool 💚🌵Did you re pot them in the same sized containers after looking at the roots in the end?
Hi Anna, Question, I had to cut off my Echinopsis Rose Quarts and now having to re-root. After letting it callus, I set it on top of the soil and supported the cactus with tooth picks to hold it upright. Should I have buried a small portion of it in the soil instead of letting it sit on top? It's been a bout 2 months and no roots yet. However, it is growing a bud.
2 months is a little too long to not have roots yet. You can bury it a little and support it with rocks. Mist the top of the soil to encourage rooting.
