Small Cactus Collection 2015
Re: Small Cactus Collection 2015
Great looking plants, Tenoch. Congrats, on the Aztekium ritteri, did you start that from seed and then graft it?
Do you grow your plants in a greenhouse?

I purchased the Aztekium. It is grafted on myrtillocactus. I do have a small greenhouse.
I'm really excited for the Aztekium, the flower buds are swelling and may open in the next day or so. I will try to get some pictures when they open.

these grafts are great...I always seem to loose the leaves on my pereskiopsis....or the scion mysteriously shrivels and dies

Thanks luigonz, I am originally from South Texas and although the climate is more suitable for cacti there I seemed to have similar trouble keeping leaves on Pereskiopsis grafts for more than one year. Colorado has it's own set of challenges though.luigonz wrote:these grafts are great...I always seem to loose the leaves on my pereskiopsis....or the scion mysteriously shrivels and dies

Nice. Try to pollinate it, the species is self-fertile and you may end up with a bunch of seeds to test your patience.

This is the second flower from this plant. I have attempted to pollinate both, just hoping that it is self fertile. Hope to test my patience with this onejfabiao wrote:Nice. Try to pollinate it, the species is self-fertile and you may end up with a bunch of seeds to test your patience.

Love the astro capt medusae graft! I'm determined to get one, and if I may ask where did you get the seeds? We're they from Gerardo?

I got them from eBay! Gerardo may have them though.george76904 wrote:Love the astro capt medusae graft! I'm determined to get one, and if I may ask where did you get the seeds? We're they from Gerardo?
