I heard by someone, even the williamsi and diffusa are illegal on California, I dont know on other States and could be very possible all the genre be illegal on a few, illegal or not the other species, is better keep them not very exposed to see by others to avoid any issues, for that reason I never...

Mammillaria sanchez in flower the last year

Using one to two years old, both, usually graft unrooted pads but if some fail, I re use the pad

Happy new year to all. I have been trying even offsets and small seedlings and different opuntias, usint tape to keep pressure, but really almost all work good for me. I dont know what to say, and most of them, as you can see this grow, say the stock is very good Pygmaeocereus 1.jpg Pygmaeocereus 3....

Another example of the grow, Ancistrocactus brevihamatus grafted and on his own roots

I made several grafts this final summer and fall and for this moment this ones are keep going. The big ones are the the most old

At the spring. I sowed some Pediocactus peeblesianus fikenckiorum which come from House Rock Valley. As a difficult plant to srpout, I made the process to perforate the seed with a pin and cared to not damage the embryo. It was my first time doing that and my first time trying to grow one thing from...

Without challenges, you can get retults. Mammillaria sanchez mejoradae, starting to produce new tubercles

Hehe. I know. Let´s see how turn it

Coryphantha sulcata. 2 months ago until today

Ariocarpus bravoanus. At the begginning I find it very hard to graft ariocarpus on this opuntia. I get better results now. with some plants grafted and growing on this opuntias

Mammillaria saboae goldii, from a cutting. In the first days of july started to grow. Grow in only 4 months

I finally could make it with this stock. Im using opuntia elata that Im collecting from the parks

Escobaria vivipara bisbeana. Grafted in july intul today

Nice progress... I am also trying opuntia grafting this summer for the first time.. Do you know if opuntia stock produces slower growth than say Harrissa or mytrillocactus? I guess the grow should be similar like Harrisia, not so fast growing like others but a good stock for a long time. I grafted ...

I never tried in macrocentra. Im using the elata for be more easy to handle and have more vasculars rings, more easy to graft than others opuntias, in anothers, you will need be very focused to not move more the plant milimiters and put the plant in the wrong place and then, the graft fails. Well. n...

Im doing this more as a necessity than experiment. Well. heard good things but also bad things about the opuntia as stock. Im using opuntia elata right now, that I found in one park. I tried to use opuntia cacanapa, but looks not work at all. I try with opuntias since a while, with no results. I dis...
