Re: Seedling graft
Nice, successful, graft!
A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.
Re: Seedling graft
Just some updates and a couple new grafts.
The unknown seedling graft (that I thought was a Cintia), Mammillaria compressa:
Strombocactus disciformis graft #2 (of 4 total successes):
Ariocarpus retusus:
Ariocarpus scapharostrus (I think)
And now the new ones:
Geohintonia mexicana x 2

Re: Seedling graft
One thing I do is after I do the seedling graft I will put a small bit of vaseline around the seam between the stock and scion. This prevents moisture from escaping. Then I put them in complete darkness for 3 days. After that three days I put them into a humidity chamber till they puff back up (usually takes about 10-14 days)paulzie32 wrote:Did you cover it at all or put a jar over it? I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but for some reason, none of my grafts have been working! They all seem to turn black or shrivel! I'm being so careful too! Disinfecting everything and even using a loupe to make sure I'm placing the graft correctly!
