===Propagation from cuttings===
Like many other plants, ''Trichocereus macrogonus'' var. ''pachanoi'' can be propagated from cuttings. The result is a [[Cloning#Horticultural|genetic clone]] of the parent plant.<ref name="sacred">{{cite web |url=http://www.sacredcactus.com/Cactus_TIPs_ebay.pdf |title=What if the cut end doesn't dry properly and starts to mold |website=Sacredcactus.com |access-date=2012-02-07 |archive-date=2016-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303172510/http://www.sacredcactus.com/Cactus_TIPs_ebay.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> It is therefore a popular method of propagating highly prized cultivars, sometimes by [[grafting]] small cuttings onto fast-growing cultivars like the Predominant Cultivar (PC). Some names of cultivars that are highly prized by cactus collectors are Kimnach, Ogunbodede, Torres y Torres, and Yowie.
A cactus column can be also laid on its side on the ground (like a log), and eventually roots will sprout from it and grow into the ground. After time, sprouts will form and cactus columns will grow upward out of it along its length.<ref name="sacred" />
