Offsets rooting
Offsets rooting
I take small numbers of offsets and rooting them every spring.
3 species were set in 50 mm square tubes for rooting in this afternoon.
2-Aztekium hintonii
2-Geohintonia mexicana
5-Pelecyphora aseliformis
Rooting hormone was used.
Rooting medium was crashed and shifted scoria, 2 mm.
I have experienced the rooting of these 3 species.

Looks good.
Re: Offsets rooting
Those look Great! I have my first A. hintonii graft doing good. Hopefully, I can have some offsets like this in a few years
I'm hoping to get some seeds for G. mexicana soon

Re: Offsets rooting
I added 3 offsets of 2 species for the rooting process in this morning.
All of them are 1st filial Astrophytum hybrids set into 60 mm square pots.
1. A. Onzuka-Banjyaku - 1 offset
Banjyaku is a hybrid, ornatum x myriostigma.
Since I used an Onzuka instead of a normal myriostigma, the name became "Onzuka-Banjyaku".
I tried to transfer the distinct Onzuka pattern and so I selected an ornatum v nudum as the mother plant.
2. No specific name - 2 offsets
A. capricorne v senile x asterias cv super kabuto
I tried to transfer the flecking of super kabuto onto nudum body of senile.
Since flowers of both species are yellow petals with orange throat, I could get a healthy hybrid.

Re: Offsets rooting
Your hybrids look very nice!

Re: Offsets rooting
Thanks for your comments, Hendry and gemhunter178
Fortunately 2 species on photos show my target appearances.
When you created hybrids, you may get various plants with unexpected appearances.

Re: Offsets rooting
I have 5 grafted Ariocarpus onto Hylocereus stocks.
I sowed seeds on 11th August 2005 and grafted 1 month old seedlings.
Since stocks became weak, I decided to remove offsets and degraft the main body.
I removed offsets of 1st plant, retusus v major cv mitsuibo in this afternoon.
1. Grafted Ariocarpus before removing offsets
2. Offsets
I used garden-lime as the drying medium.
Drying around 2 weeks in shady place and then setting in pots for the rooting.
Rooting hormone will not be used.

Hi Steve,
When you set in pots for rooting, do you use dry medium and what about the watering?
Thanks

Here is a dry place. The cutting face will be dried completely in 2 weeks and so no more drying medium is necessary during potting.
I water over the pottingmix before setting and then put an offset in a pot.

Re: Offsets rooting
That's a very nice Ario! When you root the offsets, will the taproot still form?

Re: Offsets rooting
Have you degrafted many plants before? I've been told they don't always do so well as they're weaker because of being grafted. Do you find this to be true?

Sorry sometimes I get confused with your name and Onzuka

People say tap roots will be formed eventually but it will be years later.
I have not seen tap roots of Ariocarpus formed on rooted offset.
I repotted a degrafted Ariocapus and took photos in this afternoon.
Hanazono
1. Ariocarpus fissuratus v lloydii
Sown seeds on 11th August 2005 and grafted a young seedlings onto a Hylocereus stock.
Degrfted in September 2009 with a short vascular bundle of the stock.
Plant is in a 90 mm square pot.
2. Roots
The short vascular bundle is disappeared.
Long roots come out from the main body.
No tap roots have been developed yet.

I degrfted Ariocarpus a lot.
I think degrafted and rooted Ariocarpus is not weak if you could do rooting correctly.
