I use off-shoots of Pereskiopsis as grafting stocks.
22nd August 2016
I cut old shoots of Pereskiopsis back and waited new shoots coming up.
There were 72 pots in total.

Off-shoots had grown enough length for stocks.

I use 15 cm length shoots as the stocks.
18 shoots were cut off slightly longer than 15 cm by a scissors.

They were cut back as 15 cm length accurately by a knife and removed leaves on lower part of shoots.

Each shoot was set in a 5 cm square tube for the rooting.
The 5 cm tube is easy to handle during the grafting jobs.
It is possible to accommodate 18 tubes in a rooting box.
