Uebelmannia Pectinifera
Uebelmannia Pectinifera
These were sown 2010, all from the same batch. The pupping graft was grafted after about 2 months. The graft on the left was grafted at maybe 6 months. I think the pupping was caused by cutting the seedling to high when grafting, or damaging it. The one on the left was grafted more carefully and the seedling was cut closer to the roots. You can see how much larger they get compared to the ungrafted seedling in the foreground.

Nice comparison...Tudedude
What's the rootstock on the right? Is it cereus?
Thanks

Re: Uebelmannia Pectinifera
Hi, it's some type of Pilosocereus. Maybe Pilosocereus Pachycladus.

Re: Uebelmannia Pectinifera
Lovely. My Uebel's from seed are all still quite small, but some of the pectiniferas are growing a lot faster than I expected.

Re: Uebelmannia Pectinifera
I would like very much to buy it, but I'am worried that they are not in good condition
1) is it etiolated?
2) if it was, then it would never have the normal shape again, right? (Even if it ware properly cared for)
3) also, when people say that seedling grows larger/quicker when grafted...does it means it flowers sooner or it's just "fatter" compared to it's siblings?
Thanks

The shape of U. pectinifera is normal.1) is it etiolated?
2) if it was, then it would never have the normal shape again, right? (Even if it ware properly cared for)

The growing speed of scion and flowering depends upon the selection of stocks.
What do you expect to get from your grafting?
Since my purpose of grafting is earlier seed collection, I select Peleskiopsis which is a non-permanet stock.
Peleskiopsis stock gives earlier flowering and more flowers than own-root cacti.
e.g.
When a 2 months old Ariocarpus seedling was grafted in spring, the scion will be in flower in autumn.
Sown seed to flowering is aroung 9 months.

Re: Uebelmannia Pectinifera
Thanks Hana for confirmation
If you were me, which one would you pick from the pict?...i guess that they are all siblings

Thanks Hana for the infos
BTW...i still dont graft anything
I only have 4 cacti and dont have pereskiopsis yet...haha

I will select the left end one on bottom row.
Please note: The rooting of Uebelmannia is not easy. If you want to graft Uebelmannia, think about the method of degrafting also.

Re: Uebelmannia Pectinifera
Uebelmannia pectinifera is often grafted to make it easier to overwinter in cool climates (it's a tropical species). You should have no difficulty growing them on their own roots in your climate.

BTW, I read at
LLIFLE that it needs a humid condition and spraying in summer...is that true?
Should i put a glass of water beside it's pot, at fullsun?

Re: Uebelmannia Pectinifera
Llifle is written from a European perspective, I think the climate where you are is humid enough to keep one happy. If you want to provide extra humidity, a more effective method is to use a pebble tray. That's just what it sounds like, a tray filled with pebbles which you set the plant(s) on top of. Keep some water in the tray, but keep the level lower than the bottom of the pot(s) so your plants aren't sitting in wqater.

I'll surely try it
