I use to graft mine when they are about 3 month old and/or about 4 mm in diameter.

Great close ups! The spines of E. napina ssp. glabrescens seem to be actually feathered- I never noticed that so far.

Grafting is a great way to study the developing of the seedlings in high speed

And it's easier to take some real close ups.

Looking good!
I can only guess: The spiny Eriosyce occulta?

It could have been, but I felt that they was to precius

This is a Eriosyce paucicostata 'red bloom' from you

Jens · Post by **Jens** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 9:03 pm

Hi Christer,
Nice to hear from you again!
The E. paucicostata got pretty big over the summer

.
I tried some grafting this jear too (didn´t use super glue though) but I will have to see how they survive the winter in the GH.
