Hi, long time lurker on this sub! This weekend I was lucky enough to acquire this beauty, a Peyote Grafted to a San Pedro! The lovely gentleman I bought it from only had this one, and I can’t help but feel that it chose me. All that being said, I’ve only been seriously into plants for a few months now, and have never even owned a cactus. I’d like some help from some more experienced growers. I’m keeping this in an indoor apartment, so I was looking for suggestions on a grow light! I was told to try and mimic the Texas Thornscrub environment as closely as possible. I was also told to make sure the top 3 inches were dry before watering, and to water in the summer and not the winter. It was also suggested that I may want to prune the arm without the Peyote, as it would compete for resources. I wanted to ask, is it seriously taking a ton from the peyote in a way that’s harmful to it, or is it more like the peyote just grows a bit slower? If I prune, I was told to try to do it as close to the growth point as possible, and to use sulfur. Is there special cactus sulfur like a spray or something I should buy? Any recommendations on the sulfur would also be much appreciated! Lastly, certain bits of the cactus seem to be brown (see last photo) in a way that makes it almost look like it rotted or something. Should I be worried about that? If so how should I proceed to handle that, and what’s going on there? Any and all advice would be appreciated! I feel insanely blessed to to have come across this and want to care for it the best I possibly can, thanks :)
