A scion of A. agavoides was in flower in this afternoon.

I love the way your grafts look

Hi! Can you show us photos or a video of how you graft? Thanks!

[Hanazono]

Unfortunately it is out of grafting season in here, Australia.
I can take photos but I have to wait until September.

Some more Ariocarpus agavoides were in flower.

Wow the leafs on you pereskiopsis are huge, which species is it? Or do you fertilize them often?

[Hanazono]

I got them as Pereskiopsis velutina (diguetii).

Since matured chicken manure pellets are top of soil, the elements will run down at every watering.
I water weekly.

Thanks

Hi
I am watch your post and it is great
What best  Pereskiopsis velutina (diguetii) or pereskiopsis splantha?

[Hanazono]

Honestly I am not familiar with Pereskiopsis splantha.
I have never used P. splantha.

I believe only P. velutina is in Australia.

[jfabiao]

Ahmedhm probably meant Pereskiopsis spathulata.

[Hanazono]

Thanks jfabiao for your comment.

I have not experienced to use P. spathulata as a grafting stock.

[Hanazono]

It is winter solstice today.

I cut back Peleskiopsis stocks.
Since young off-shoots are used as the grafting stocks in spring, it is necessary to cut old shoots back in winter.
