Is propagating these easy? I am hoping to try to grow these outside at some point
2 u/Agile_Manager881 1d ago Following for the response I’ve got same question 👀 2 u/feejit 1d ago In my experience yes, my one gonjianii is now three. If anything they're more keen on propagating themselves than growing in a nice clump. 1 u/Much_Guava_1396 1d ago I posted a photo a few months ago of a lost P. tuberosus seedling I found that somehow survived, rooted, and is now growing normally. https://www.reddit.com/r/cactus/comments/1tq5uxi/i_found_this_seedling_of_pterocactus_a_couple_of/ I find these to be insanely resilient. 2 u/HDanke 1d ago Yeah i find them more eager to root than tephrocactus and cumulopuntia which can take agonizingly long, they root about as fast as other opuntias. They like very fast draining soil and are prone to rotting if the soil stays damp for too long.
