What a lovely plant. Trichocereus Vulcano was originally cultivated by a well-known cultivator, Andi. The full taxonomy is unknown but you can see he is clearly bridgesii dominant evidenced by the spine formation.
With lovely red spines, this chunky guy belongs in every collection.

Tr. bridgesii was first introduced to the Western world by a German botanist Friedrich Ritter who studied various cactus species in South America. He then named the species after his close friend, the British consul in Bolivia, Alan Bridges.

Steps For Rooting
Once the cut is received, place it around 1/2 inch to 1 inch in a pot of substrate. I use wooden kebab skewers to hold up the piece. Water lightly and you should start getting new root growth within a few weeks to a few months depending on conditions.
An alternative way would be to stick them in perlite and wait for them to root, once roots form you can re-pot.
