First successful graft

Post by Alber khan »

Two weeks ago I grafted one of my c.elephantidens pup on a pad of opuntia.The pad was not rooted but I took it as a cutting from my large opuntia,I don't really know the exact species but I can tell you that it's a native over here and has bright yellow flowers.I used a rubberband to secure the scion and stuck the whole graft in a pot yesterday so it can root.The scion has produced new spines and it has not shrivelled up in these two weeks so I think it took.

I plan on degrafting it this september or even next year, though im also thinking of just leaving it alone and wait until I wont have a choice.
