how long does fresh pedro stay fresh

I believe they can be stored for a long time. I ordered some fresh san pedro cuttings off the internet and they were shipped to my house; which indicates to me that the dealer must have had them sitting around for some time, and secondly that I let them sit around for a month or so. I think as long as your ends of the pedro are dried you are okay. The skin may act as a kinda shield. I am not 100% sure though, wait for some more replies, these are just my thoughts.

I have had a really tiny 4cm piece of cutting (not like the ones you buy, it was much thinner!) in a drawer for two or three months. When I found it, I discovered it had been growing in the meantime. It had grown like 2 cm, totally white and thin, because it had absolutely no light and water. I planted it this spring, and it started growing, it became a healthy green and I have high hopes for it to become a strong plant!
I have cut another plant this fall, it was 50cm and I cut it down to a few centimeters. It hasn't received any water since, and almost no direct sunlight (winter in Europe...) and recently it started growing two new sprouts.
San Pedro are the toughest mofos you can imagine. I think if you put a cutting in the fridge for a month, it will still be growing inside the fridge. Some people say they even produce more mescaline under stress, so putting a cutting in the fridge for a few weeks will even make it stronger!
From what I've seen, I think a San Pedro cutting of decent size can live without soil and light for at least a year.

How long cacti can be preserved in fresh state? This really depends on many other influences. Such is outside environment, age of cacti, treatment which cacti has been trough, size, genetic resistance code from first cacti origin(meaning from where has primal plant arrived (high attitude Andes or near ocean and stuff like that but this is only 20% of "how long will be fresh" question)).
Example, I had Peyote cacti in basement. I forgot bout it for almost year and half. How? What happen? Cacti pot dropped from window board behind some barrels. Cacti wasn't anymore been in pot wit soil. Bare roots in the air for more then 18+ months!! And when I found him cacti was relatively OK. Little bit soft cause of lack of water but overlooking he was OK. I replant him and after 2 months he blossoms unbelievably beautiful!
And what I also have seen on him? He blossomed some flowers in that out of soil state! Cause 3 seed pods come out before second blossom! Sturdy fellow! But how he has that? He was one of my 3 cacti experiments. I give them water only 3 times per year. Experiment how to rise alkaloids level naturally like they receive that in deserts. So he wasn't big cacti for his age, 3.5cm wide and 7 years old! So very small for his age.
Second example is Torch which has received huge amounts of care. Then I cut it on three parts. Leave one for replanting and others "used".
What happened? Cacti starts to root after one month! Why? I presume that cherished cacti takes that care for granted even after they are cutted down from mother roots. So if U want to preserve cacti in "fresh form" first U need to cut down all good and nice supplies(water,rich soil,*.*) which has cacti received before. Starve it for couple of moths and then without fear fresh status can be preserved.
Also cutting will at some state starts to produce new roots! This is biggest sign that U need plant cacti or eat it. Shops use something for roots growing inhibition. Something like what people use for potato, for germination inhibition.

Depends on what U want from cutting?
If U like to preserve it(for later USE) then U need to do just what U sad. Low temp(but not under zero cause lots of process will happen after temperature rising, mainly rooting which includes mescaline degradation), low humidity air and low light stimuli.
But if U want new roots and new cacti from cutting, then place it in medium high temp(round 13-18°C) room, lots of light and only news papers under cacti. After couple of weeks worm like roots will sprout out of wound.
Have any questions? just ask my friend.
P.S:
Have U ever tried any RC's? I have lately 2c-c and 4-aco-DMT. And know what? HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!
Given fine opiate doses for them and shit! Also listen to this, biggest 2c-c dose was 180mg and 4-aco-DMT 45mg! And no visuals, slight euphoria, very short acting. Erowid and Tinkhal doesn't fit in my show. What U think? Posted new topic in Synthetics bout this. Or U can PM me.
Merry Christmas and happy New year. Joy in holidays.
