Very beautiful cacti ;)

My greenhouse is not small, 12 m x 6.5 m but I still need the space management.
I gave quite many old grafted cacti to my friend and made a space for degrafted cacti.

I will start to graft seedlings next month.
A space possible to accommodate 168 pots has been kept for the purpose.

I started the seedling grafting early spring, in September in this year.
It will be continued to January next year.
I have completed the grafting of following seedlings.

Astrophytum hybrid fukuryu-banjyaku: 24
Ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri-cauliflower: 24
Ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus cv daruma-seiji: 24
Ariocarpos fissuratus v intermedius: 24
Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus f Rio Verde: 11

Followings are under grafting process.
Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus f Rio Verde: 13
Ariocarpus retusus cv daruma-royal: 4

1. Grafting stocks
I got 10 cuttings in 2008, which were Pereskiopsis velutina, I assumed.
They push many offshoots up vigorously at moment.
I cut offshoots for stocks when they reached 15 cm length.

2. Rooting of stocks
I set stocks in 50 mm square tubes and keep them in a wet-box for 7 days.
It may or may not be rooted in 7 days but I start to graft.

3. Grafting
Scions are around 40 days old seedlings, about 2 mm diameter.
I keep them in another wet-box for 10 days after grafted.

4. Setting in permanent pots
50 mm tube is just for the grafting process.
I set the stock with scion in 90 mm x 180 mm depth square pot after completed the grafting process.
I normally can see roots formed from stocks during this repotting.
The photo is scions with stocks in 90 mm pots.

G'morning bikram,
why the photos are not visible?
I used a free photo album on website but the site was closed off.
The photos are not available now.
