Hello,
today I will show you my vegetativ graftings from acm.
I have 9 different clons, from this I make grafts and seeds every year.
With this article, I will show you my work this year 2010.

graftings from spring 2011 on bigger F. glaucescens, clon 1-3
few months later:

autumn 2011:
the numbers on the labels are the clon numbers

Now, the first plants are ready to sale - they are all away from this year. I keep a few plants for the mother asset flexible-carnose and the tuberkels of acm can better drive out after 1-2 months after grafting.
I hope I can show you some of my grafting.

And now....(all the same plant! - a example)

I can make a new thread if you will.
Crests are from mcdowelli, albiflora and elephantidens.
My best cresta of ariocarpus you can see in my avatar.
Good weekend!
Daniel
i'm realy interested in crested ario so...a new tread about this plants are realy of my interest!!!
OK - i will make it tomorrow!
beautiful job Daniel... are very good..!!!
Dear Daniel, wonderful results and thanks for the report!
It seems it works very well with fero glaucescens...we have few questions.
How do you cut the pieces of tubercles, half and a half on the length or you cut only a slice that you trow away and keep the bigger part for grafting? Does it work better with the top of tubercles or with the bottom part?
And in your first photo, the piece of tubercle is not put in the middle of fero, does it sprout like the other grafts?
thanks a lot
Hello!
Yes, F. glaucescens is the best for acm.
I cut half and half, than i took the pieces on the glaucescens (2-3 tuberkel).
it`s equal if you need the top or the bottom of the turbercel.
I graft 2-3 tubercels per ferocactus. sometimes there gos 1-2 dead, so there is only 1 tubercel per ferocactus, so it`s right or left on the stock, but this isn`t bad, all cast out!
Best wishes,
daniel
nice work! keep it up! :)
did you try the same method with others stock?

ggrrrrrr!!!!!!!!I never had any positive results with this damn plant......
Thanks for sharing your expirience, last year I did only one graft the same way, its still the same as I graft it. How long does it takes for the digito to star showing new tubercules???
Hello kikko!
1 - 6 months! The last plants came this year in october!
Thank you so much Ariocarpus.

Great plants! Wonderful!
Hi Ariocarpus, THANKS, for your appreciation.
I had 10 plants from seeds, they all die when I repoted them.. :'( :'( :'(
Hi kikko, I leave them to dry for 3 weeks before I repot and water them. Try it, and tell me how you go...

Very nice work. What is the successrate with this method?
I have grafted whole digitostigma plants before, but it is quite difficult, so I might try to experiment with your method instead.
Keep up the good work (:
Dan
Hello Dan!
The sucessrate is 80-90%!
Its important that you have worm weather...then you must graft in the morning!
Thanks for the tip! I will give it a try!

Great work!
I just made 10 digi grafts with your method 1 week ago. I am very exited to see how they turn out.
Your method is super easy, so I hope it works well for me also (:
Dan
Wish you good luck Dan!
Hello,
As I see you use Trichoc.passacana, I would better use other stock to increase growth ;)
Who use T. pasacana?!
These are ferocactus glaucescens..

Wish you good luck Dan!
Thank you! Now the grafts are 14 days old, so I removed the rubberbands. Most of them look nice, but I noticed that some of the digi's are dried out... have you got any experience with this problem?

Sorry :)
But even that, according to dates you put there, it looks that they grow very slow
keep it up boys. i am curious, i tried just once but i failed >:(. i will give it a try again in july... :)
from my actuelly graftings, there are three who dry out!
The other 27 are very good, I think that they will grow.
Some of my acm grafts:

Very impressive! Keep us updated.
My "test-grafts" are doing well also! So far no offsets, but I hope they will start to pup soon.

Hi Ariocarpus,
From what I can see(correct me if Im wrong), there are some tubercle without areoles you grafted, arent they?
Just received my acm and have a plan to graft for spare, after looking at its tubercles they only have 1 areole each
Can I graft without areole?
Thanks in advance
Hendry
Wow very awesome!!
It looks like you are not even intersecting the cores. Is this not necessary with this species? All cacti?
I only have one ACM graft and it grew for a year, lost it's tubercles, then grew them back while growing a huge body.
