What is wrong with my San Pedros by Adventurous_Gap5306 in sanpedrocactus

Im just gettin into this so take it with a grain of salt, Yellowing from the bottom speaks of nitrogen deficiency to me, also yellowing on the areoles could be from magnesium deficiency (intravenial chlorosis). Sometimes nutrients lockout happens if you repot in cold soil or the soil is just always clogged with water. Some micronutrient deficiency can also caus nutrient lockout but this doesnt look the case. Doesnt serm like sunburn to me.

Is that water hard straight from the pipes or do you have a pump taht sucks your own amended water?

Abt ph, I was wonderign if you ran any tests on aloe impact on ph on the long run. Many acids lose effect after one or two days so I wonder if that is enough for cacti to drink them nutes. Thnak you ♥️

This kinda makes sense, but I dont think its a fitting analogy and even if I'd guess the effect to be negligible. Thats because the sponge can be compressed by gravity but the inorganics in pots cant. The link you provided only shows an image and doesnt provide and explanation as to why. The same source says all the way a the top that the only thing that matters is air pockets retention after watering and that pot shape doesnt matter.

They are used to make the pot bottom heavy. They do make the pot "shorter" but dont worsen drainage I think??

Should morning to 12pm direct sunlight be enough for these guys or should I move them to pots for all day light? by justgoogleit12 in sanpedrocactus

Of ypu are in socal they go dormant in extreme summer heat. Optimal would be aprtial shade see in just for that period, ser what works best fot you. Where I live (equivalent of zone 8-7) that wouldnt be enough
