Could you graft a T bridgesii to a san pedro to avoid rot?
-
Theoretically yes for sure the graft would take quite easily. I don't see why you would want to though. I think it's far easier to just mix up some nice cactus soil mix and keep it on its own roots. I grow in zone 7a in Fox Farms soil heavily cut with perlite, and I typically don't have any problems. And mine are indoors mind you.

Oh okay, thanks for the info. I kinda got scared after hearing a lot of bridgesii horror storys and its got me asking a lot of questions.
-
I have never had any problems with bridges either
i think it primary a problem with people that like to push the bounds of whats possible, or just overwater

Oh okay, how often do you water?

I let mother nature take care of that 99% of the time
Only in a extended drought, many times I even move them indoors to avoid the rain. Im in S NY the growing seasons can be quite variable hear

I would say it depends largely on the area you are growing them in and the time of year. In S California during summer time we water smaller specimen about once a week and larger ones about once a month. Near the winter time we either never water them or if it has been dry about once a month.
Good luck with your grow!

I've grown my fair share of both types of cacti and never had any real problems with root rot from T. bridgesii and I treated them identical to my pachanoi. Now, I did have a variegated pachanoi on its own roots that suffered a little root rot. Thus, I had my children graft a few portions to a non-variegated specimens.
