San Pedro is stupid simple to propagate, literally the easiest cactus to clone and graft. Cut off a 6 in chunk and stick that sucker in some decent dirt, treat it like a houseplant and not a cactus though, like Happyfrog soil and some decent veg nutes once in a while. If you feel fancy use some superthrive when you water your fresh cuts.

Good dose is about a foot depending on the specimen.

Cut with straight blade, let it sit outside in the shade for 2 weeks, throw that thing anywhere and it will grow.

Water them daily or once every 2 days.

Use sand that is very fast draining.

I just throw some pigeon shit around the plant every month or so and get about 4 foot on each head per year.

The advice is correct. I water a bit less often. When rooting a cutting, i ket the cut scab over for a week. Then i pit it in good soil heavily mixed with sand. I wait a month before i water and then every two weeks till i know i have roots, then which ever way one normally warers.

I dont get four feet a tear, i get about two per growing tip. I got about thirty tips.
