My first grafts.

Post by Pricky »

This summer I practiced for the first time some grafts with seedlings produced by my Lophophora.
All the seedlings were grafted ad 2 months old in July. I found grafting on Pereskiopsis really easy getting a 100% success :D :D

I also grafted this Aztekium ritteri on August when the seedling was 2 mm large.

My first partially successful graft was a parodia on a pilosocereus. Lived for several months, then croaked because of mealybugs. That really let me down, and sorta quit grafting.

Congratulations, Pricky, the plants look very healthy. I've never considered grafting before, until reading your optimistic words. It sounds easy and rewarding. Thanks for sharing!
