Winter grafting

[Carlo & Daniele]

Update of Reply #41:
these are the peresk with cut apex posted some time ago.
we waited ten days before doing the grafts and now it's how they look after one week:



we just put the grafts in the same place as all the others under the lamps, sprinkling the other grafts from time to time to mantain humidity.
% rate is 15 out of 15

Hi C&D, I asked you a question, I repeat. Is your grafted Ariocarpus on pereskiopsis only 1 and a half months old from seeds?

[Carlo & Daniele]

hello Mario, we didn't record the exact date but when the photo was taken the plant was about 2 months old, considering we graft about one two week after it germinates.

[marazz53]

Hi C&D, do you mean from seed, till now, as the photo is, 1 and a half months old. Did I get you right? Thanks.

[Carlo & Daniele]

Hello Mario, yes, 1 month an a half on peresk + 1-2 weeks on own roots.
Of course not all the grafts had the same growth.

Hi C&D, thanks.

Astrophytum coahuilense cv. tricostatum X kikko, showing good results.

[Onzuka]

That is a super looking plant, Dan, and shows lots of potential for the future.  Did you do the cross pollenation yourself, or did you buy the hybrid seeds?

Thank you Steve. I grafted around 10 plants from this cross, and 25-30% show very good kikko signs already.
I got the seeds from a good friend who did the pollination from his own motherplants.

cv frumdosus



do you think tubercles will grow quite big?

[danskibsted]

Amazing! Great work

Making the first re-grafts today:

The best godzilla so far. For some reason it grow alot faster than the others:

Mituibo cauliflower:

Kotschoubeyanus hybrid:

Fukuryu cristata?

multifinger x trefinger:

This one came in a packet of godzilla seeds... any idea what it is?

The plants are nearly 6 months old now, and soon they will go in the greenhouse
Enjoy!

Hi Danskibsted , good job,  my growing interest in the Aryans.

Thank you both!
The godzilla come from your seeds Daniele (:

I correct the "pasacana"  ! Melocactus ..... variegated

Thanks Dan

They are all very beautiful and are a real credit to you.
I really like that odd Godzilla and the kotschouybeyanus hybrids too!

[danskibsted]

Thank you guys.
I dont know who is the father of the kot. Seeds. Maybe agavoides?
