As title says, I purchased a 1yr old ready grafted L. williamsii in 2016 when I moved from NZ to Australia (only illegal cactus in both countries) and it has mainly been an indoor succulent as it seemed to struggle with our dry 40C summers and wet and cold winters.

Recently, the root stock has fully started dying. I’ve needed to prop it up with bamboo skewers to keep it upright, and some pups have fallen off, along with I had to cut out a section of rot 6-8 weeks ago.

I have 2 x T pachanoi that are 6-7’ tall and as thick as my arm so probably too big, and one Peruvianus that also would be too big.

However, I have a smaller Bridgesii that I’m wondering whether it could be used to save these lophs I’ve spent years and years growing into a grandfather.

Any advice is appreciated, I could go find some small pachanoi cuttings as I don’t think I have time to make my own and let them harden off.

Can I chop the peyote off and let it dry and keep it alive somehow? Or should I remove it ASAP and transplant to living stick immediately?

Thanks in advance! ❤️
