A caterpillar-like plant grows in the flowerpot; snap off a branch and it will survive, and in 1 month it will fill a whole big pot
Huahua has a friend who keeps a potted plant. Once when I went to his house, I got a big fright the first time I saw it. How could this flower look like a caterpillar? Later, after growing more plants, I learned that this is actually a type of cactus, called White San Pedro! Today, Huahua will tell everyone what White San Pedro actually looks like and how it should be grown.
What does White San Pedro actually look like?
Some people, like Huahua, think White San Pedro looks like a caterpillar, while others think it looks like little fingers. What do you fellow flower growers think?

Grow White San Pedro this way, and it will quickly fill the pot!
If you want White San Pedro to quickly fill the pot, daily care is essential.
1. Give it plenty of sunlight
If you want White San Pedro to quickly fill the pot, it must get plenty of sunlight. For growers keeping it indoors, place it in a sunny spot on a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill. If conditions allow, growing it on an outdoor terrace or in a yard is best.

2. Be careful when watering!
White San Pedro goes dormant in winter, so watering must stop; in spring, start giving it sunlight. When flower buds appear, absolutely do not water. You must wait until the flower buds have grown more than 1cm before watering. If you water too early, White San Pedro will grow small offsets, and the flower buds will basically shrivel and will not bloom.

3. Add a little compound fertilizer casually, and it will immediately fill the pot!
Many flower growers can grow White San Pedro well without fertilizing, but if your White San Pedro never grows, Huahua still recommends adding some fertilizer. When repotting, you can add a few granules of compound fertilizer, and normally you can also pour a little 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution into the pot.

4. It needs a cold spell to bloom more!
If your White San Pedro never blooms, or blooms only once and then never again, then it definitely did not get a cold spell in winter! White San Pedro goes dormant in winter and only blooms more after vernalization. In the south, it can be grown outdoors all year round. In the north, you can bring it back indoors after frost, but be careful not to let it get frostbitten, so as to ensure White San Pedro blooms more the next year!
Snap off a branch and it will survive; a must-have for clumsy growers!
As a very easy-to-grow variety among cacti, White San Pedro is also super simple to propagate!
1. Cut a section of branch directly from the mother White San Pedro plant and put it in a cool, ventilated place to let the wound dry slightly.
2. Prepare loose, breathable nutrient soil, bury the White San Pedro branch slightly into the soil, and it will root in about 2-3 weeks!
