I agree. A rooted saguaro cutting is virtually unheard of. Besides, the original growth looks like a nice little tapered spear, indicative of a young seed grown plant. Back in the day, Tanque Verde Greenhouses sold a lot of saguaros and none of them looked like cuttings (their holdings were bought out by B&B Cactus Farm about 10 years ago, and they now use the property as an off-site nursery).greenknight wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 10:52 pm Saguaros cuttings are difficult to root, while the species is easily grown from seed, so cuttings are rarely seen.
I think there was some trauma to the tip of this plant. dhsmusic, do you have any photos of this cactus before it started growing?
