I agree with what Sg has said. Tbh I’m not really sure if this thing will throw out roots. It was sitting on a plate during the summer, that’s when it should have grown some roots. There’s not much life left if any. If you asked for an id I wouldn’t have a clue;). You could try laying it on some mix and see what happens, but don’t hold your breath:).

Echinopsis pachanoi/San Pedros are thick and robust.

And sometimes you just never know, these plants have surprised me from time to time.

Kara, Stush taught me to put cactus and euphorbia cuttings in straight grani-grit, and water it only with a hand held spray bottle and that only when it looks parched, do you think it would work on this cutting?

Idk Sans I’ve never tried that technique. Maybe? Since there’s nothing to loose;). It’s interesting with cactus and Euphorbia because I’ve had a callused Opuntia pad sitting in a layer of rain water on a glass table outside, and that thing threw out roots in a week. That is the fastest I’ve ever seen roots form on a cactus cutting. Maria Elena said she had Eurphobia cuttings sitting in a bucket full of rain water, and one day she checked the bucket and it was full of roots. Rainwater is magical tho;). I’m getting off topic because you didn’t ask about cuttings grown in water;).

But your comment had me see something I did not see before. It’s funny I saw it instantly tonight, but didn’t spot it the other day.

I think these are roots.

You could do that. Make sure those root nubs are hitting the soil and give them a little drink. It should stimulate them to put out more growth. Keep the cutting warm and in bright filtered light.

Another option is you could cut here...

With a clean sharp knife because that’s where it seems the majority of the baby roots are. Let callus for a day or two. Then plant it vertically, burying the root nubs.
