So I have some peyote and Peruvian torch I'm in the UK if I keep them relatively warm and on a window ledge will they both grow fine but at a drastically lower rate or would they eventually die also the peyote is already rooted but not the Peruvian torch I've just put that in pot with 3 perlite to 1 coco and Berried it half inch I'm planning to get cactus soil when it roots should I un-berry it and place on top or will it be fine also it did have a callous before I planted and the mixture is slightly wet
They should be fine in the summer, lots of UK loph growers. Try to keep them in a south facing window as close to the window as possible and rotate them every couple days for even light. Water them every 1-2 weeks in the summer (depending on temps, here it gets 95-110F in the windowsill), sometimes every 3-4 weeks. Just wait for the soil to be totally dry for 5 days, They’ll be a little deflated. But when you do water, soak it. I recommend a 100% mineral mix that contains lots of limestone and keep them in clay terracorra pots so they dry out quicker and don’t sit in moist substrate. I would make them go dormant in the fall/winter , keep them at 50-55F by a north facing window and only water every 1-2months. They’re gonna shrivel up and sink into the soil but that’s all normal, they’ll plump right back up come spring.
Oh yeah and 3% hydrogen peroxide at 1.5 tsp per cup of water every month or so helps alot with root growth and keeping pests at bay.
