Thx.

[badger1]

wow, thats awsome...are you growing for consumption?

[mwillis71]

I'm curious, how does this work? They graft young peyote buttons onto another plant, does it make the peyote grow and mature faster? If so, that is amazing and could really help the species because people won't be raping the earth to get them irresponsibly. :dance:

mwillis though i have no real experience with grafting cacti it is my understanding that that is why its done to speed things up a bit

Yes, They grow faster by grafting to another cacti ( faster growing species ) and I think it is easier to bring the seedlings/ small plants along than in the soil Less chance of molds/diseases etc.

Haven't performed it yet but that is how I plan to grow my Lophos once I germinate.

Ya those are grafted onto a plant called pereskiopsis... The holy grail of peyote grafting stock.. Those peyotl are at most 2.5 yrs old.. Not mine but inspiring.. With this method people dont have to dig up the precious cacti from the mother earth.. We can grow as many as we'd like.. Looks like these people have a greenhouse full of pereskiopsis stalks and just grafted away.. Probly had a few people help out to do that great haul.. Anyways... Graft away peepz!!! Soon I'll have some new pics of my caespitosa's on a bush.. I love grafting..:cacti:

i somhow kill all my grafting attemps. how do you press the seedlings on the grafting layer the first week?

[Nunyabiz]

Hmm.. Are you using peres? Are the seedlings very young or have they grown for a while? The youngest are best for grafting IMO. Once they get about 1/4 inch or bigger they are herder to graft.. Also if your air is dry theyll dry up before they heal.. Try super glueing around the edges.. If the lophs are bigger than 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch san pedro can do wonders..

[teesus]

no i never tried it with peres. i tryed it on hylocereus and trichos. i try to find peres for the next time and try super glue. my attemps fixing them last times were made using duct tape or strings, i failed with both.

[Nunyabiz]

Ive tried with myrtillocactus unsuccesfully.. 6 died.. I think pedros will work better for ya.. I tried one on pedro and it worked.. I taped the scion down with packaging tape.. I put a small piece or paper on the tape over the scion for easy removal.. It does need to be held down not too tight but not loose.. Leave 3 days.. Then unwrap and wait.. Sometimes grafts just wont work.. It happens.. Dont let it discourage you.. Just try more.. Heres a pic of my one n only pedro graft.. So far!

"This peyote was grafted as a few days old seedling in June (that's only three months ago). It has already sprouted seven new pups!"

Very nice!
Apparently the grafting works well, that's a lot of growth for 3 months!
Great job!
