Some on this week

Post by Vanzily »

I´m not really a big fan of grafting. My collection will have most plants from seeds and own roots. But you can´t have all like this. You need to save some things and care difficult species.

We can say that this ones are my first graft. I tried some things before but only experiments. I´m not shure what kind of opuntia is. Have only a few glochids and no spines, looks like opuntia ficus indica. I get them in the Central Park here in my city, the workers cleaned the place, and pruned the opuntias. For that reason I get some. They could take temperatures like -4 farenheit without problems in one cold at 2011. The ficus indica died at this temperatures. Can be a compressa(humifusa) or another one. Maybe because they are growing like the wild losing the glochids, but I´m not shure.

I´m trying to save some escobaria minima, I have only three seedlings, almost 2 years old. I find them very slow growing and many died the first year

If its not too late, you can graft the root portion, and it will pup out.

The grafts look. Keep us updated!

I hope the seedlings make it Sam. Did you already remove the clothes pin?
