Graftings with caput medusae

[Ariocarpus]

Great plants! Wonderful!

Hi Ariocarpus, THANKS, for your appreciation.

[kikko]

I had 10 plants from seeds, they all die when I repoted them..

[marazz53]

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 (:

Hello Dan!

The sucessrate is 80-90%!

Its important that you have worm weather...then you must graft in the morning!

[danskibsted]

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 (:

Hello,

As I see you use Trichoc.passacana, I would better use other stock to increase growth

[Ariocarpus]

Who use T. pasacana?!
These are ferocactus glaucescens..

[danskibsted]

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

[fanecchissimo]

keep it up boys. i am curious, i tried just once but i failed  . i will give it a try again in july... 

[Ariocarpus]

from my actuelly graftings, there are three who dry out!
The other 27 are very good, I think that they will grow.

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.
