Most importantly San Pedro Cactus are not perfect and each cactus, like people, have character! It is normal for cactus to have superficial blemishes, this does not affect the quality of the cuttings in any way. If the side of a cutting is brown, it is simply because it was growing adjacent to another column. The rubbing and lack of sunlight penetration creates a brown skin. San Pedro cactus also come in many different sizes, thickness, and unique shapes. This adds to the beauty of these cacti. All Plants a grown in beautiful California weather under a 40% shade cloth.
