 When a Trichocereus begins producing aerial roots, it serves as a physical indicator that the plant is searching out more moisture and nutrients, and subterranean root system may be restricted, compacted, or struggling within its current container. The recommended cultivation response is to make sure the plant is receiving water as soon as the substrate is dry beneath the surface, and consider repotting the cactus into a larger container. Growers should use a highly aerated, well-draining soil medium with a reduced organic component (such as increased pumice, perlite, or gravel) to encourage healthy subterranean root expansion and improve airflow. When a Trichocereus begins producing aerial roots, it serves as a physical indicator that the plant is searching out more moisture and nutrients, and subterranean root system may be restricted, compacted, or struggling within its current container.
