As clones go, Shorty is pretty unique. A gorgeous short-spined peruviana with a beautiful grey/glaucous sheen, they are fast growers and belong in any collector’s garden.
I only have the 6 x 50cm+ cuts in stock.

Steps For Rooting
Once the cut is received, place it around 1/2 inch to 1 inch in a pot of substrate. I use wooden kebab skewers to hold up the piece. Water lightly and you should start getting new root growth within a few weeks to a few months depending on conditions.
An alternative way would be to stick them in perlite and wait for them to root, once roots form you can re-pot.
All plants sold are strictly for garden / ornamental purposes.
We are here to cultivate these beautiful plants and spread them as far as we can, nothing outside of growing (all things related to growing) will be tollerated.
A few weeks later though and I'm pleased to report he's firm in his pot, fully rehydrated and colouring up nicely. Will be a monster in no time.
