No bare root plants!
All my cactus ship
in their
container with all soil. You receive a healthy
specimen; all you have to do is
unpack, water it and provide a loving home.
Bare
rooting kills the delicate roots, dries & shrivels them
up requiring months to nurse back to health
before they grow again. I will never do that to
mine. Just because "Everyone else bare roots"
doesn't mean I do it. Now you know. |
How do you pack a cactus?
You can really ship it in the pot with all the soil?
How do you do that?
Transplant to a larger container for continued good growth. You
may harvest tips for propagation (best to do in spring), and/or transplant to a larger pot.
Here is a photo tutorial about repotting these plants

"Own a piece of the legend"
All my San Pedro, many KK242, some Peruvian Torch, and all of my Bridgesii (that
I didn't grow myself from seed) came from the legendary
Cactus Kate
nursery. Her San Pedro
were
brought by a botanist to California from Peru in the 1960s. That particularly authentic
strain has been propagated by cuttings for 50 years. |
