I am wondering if different parts of the cactus have different properties. I imagine that perhaps the thick lower stalk is more potent than pups, but then again there is circulation throughout the plant. I am wondering if harvesting well developed pups would be fruitful. I have four pups going on one cactus. I have limited space and things could get out of hand if I keep producing more pups and potting more cuttings. I wonder if another pup would be likely to pop up in around about the same place I cut one off. Keeping an equilibrium seems ideal. Perhaps this question is too obscure, but I am wondering if anybody has performed these experiments before.
I just got back from Peru where SP was ubiquitous (eg., growing in city gardens on roadsides). It was cool to see the cacti in their native land, but I didn't feel like I was properly introduced and it didn't seem right to impose. I have a renewed interest in further developing a relationship with my cacti.
