grafted plants on selenicereus, do you like them?

Not only do I like - I'm downriht in love with them!
What are your further plans with them - rerooting with a short piece of stock or something else?

[Carlo & Daniele]

thanks
we are planning to make them own roots maybe in a year or something like that, removing all the stock.

we are planning to make them own roots maybe in a year or something like that, removing all the stock.

Always all the stock? I usually leave 2...3 cm stock which after re-rooting and potting will remain unvisible. I'm a bit afraid of making very big cut surfaces - which sometimes (not always) is inevitable if to remove the stock completely.

Strange... I was sure I posted this already... Well, here they are - some photos of my fukus:















The last one is probably pure myriostigma, the others being pure ornatums or ORMY/MYOR hybrids

[Carlo & Daniele]

maybe you post in another topic?
btw in this case cutting surface will be quite small and it should be easy to remove all the stock.
In other cases we can't do that i.e. with asterias or also myrio on pereskiopsis.

One A. ornatum 'Fukuryu' (the first picture  from my previous post in this thread) surprised me greatly today. A month ago or so, I grafted three pups onto Opuntia humifusa (which in turn is grafted onto O. ficus-indica). When I looked at these grafts today, I did not believe my eyes - the pups have started to make thorns! The mother plant (on Harrisia jusbertii) has none and none of the grafts on Harrisia stock has the thorns. From where the thorns on these plants then?!

A mother plant (which probaly is  an ORMY hybrid, not a  pure OR)...
