it looked so shriveled at the ends, i assumed it was going bad..
thanks that's good to know

well.. this is an update of the current state. Not sure if things are moving in the right direction. I’ve left it alone in a dim room.. not sure what I should do next

This my take on columnar cactus: I would take the tallest piece and cut it to the part that is the greenest. The rest of it looks either dead or just bad. Now for the rest of the cuttings; what is your end goal? If you don't want to cut the tip of the second tallest, it will stay elongated and neve...

Upright is better, this will prevent roots from the middle of the stem. The bottom cut would be better to keep dry, spray the stem above and the soil around. How often: 1 - 2 times a week is OK. And give the cacti some weeks time to root, the spring is coming. I've sprayed it with water and propped...

Would I stand it up in a pot with dry soil underneath but not planted into the soil till it roots? It can be inside but how in this case you will know about emerging roots? Taking that cutting in and out the ground is not the best thing, better keep a closer eye on it. Another way: If that cactus i...

These cacti should root even in horizontal position given some time. Just keep it in shade, direct sun can rehydrate cuttings even more. Spraying also helps. Would it be better upright? Should I spray the entire thing or just the base? How often would you recommend? The base now smaller than when I...

Here are some update pictures!

You don't wanna cut the pieces too short. I guess 1-2 feet is good. I would cut the large one in 2 pieces. 1 thin and 1 fat. Waiting for sping is okay if they are in a cold room. If not you have to root now. I have conservations regarding the cinnamon though. Before rooting brush it all off as i wi...

Please check out my recent post! i have some questions after cutting on piece so far thanks!

Please visit my most recent post showing the cutting process.. had a few questions there! thanks

You've done well! Now leave it be for 10 days or so and replant it in new soil Would you recommend I cut this long piece into 2? Since it's so thin on top? i might wait till spring to plant it.. would that be ok? I have another large piece to cut and root as well. I'll post pictures when i do so. t...

Hey there. So I officially began cutting the large cacti from our work office. It’s very very tall, nearly touching the ceiling. It’s a bit “leggy” so I wasn’t sure if should go ahead and cut the current piece I have cut into two .. would that be better since this piece is so long and thin. I put ci...

First off all, if you want highest chance of success , you have to cut it in as bigger pieces as possible. Second, if you are cutting it, make sure the center of it is healthy not like this one(rot) http://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39973- it needs to look like this https://www.dm...
