Someone on ebay asked me the following question and I thought I post the answer here for everyone.
“i have bought a san pedro cactus in the past.
i was wondering if you could offer any advice as to how to plant it.
when i got it both ends were sealed, do I need to chop off this sealed part or something and is there anyway to figure out which way up it goes?
I’d reallly appreciate your assistance in getting my cactus in the ground.
alternatively if you know of any useful growing resources …

The yearly spectacular of San Pedros in flower has begun. Here’s a photo I took earlier today. These San Pedros are around 4 metres high.

San Pedro flower buds first appear late October early November. The Agave in front have incredible flower spikes. After almost twenty years I’m still waiting for my first, but the two original plants have born many offspring.
