Estiveira,I wish I could graft without limits but I await new growth from my pereskiopsis and during this time I try to stay busy finding other graft base material,lately I have found opuntia cylindrica to be excellent for grafting my trichocereus sdlgs to so I will be producing more of the opuntia ...

I just finished grafting the rest of the trichocereus sdlgs today no pics yet as I have been moving many of my cacti back outside and also planting more seed ,I will follow up in a few day when I have some other pics to share, I just removed the tape from my glaucus grafts and soon will be removing ...

I had hoped to get further along toady with my grafting but I'm only about half way through I still have another 12 sdlgs to graft I will get pics up when I finish . I will try again to post my grow/trade list soon I have tried this twice only to finish typing all the species and varieties and hit t...

I would just like to add I would rather watch these cacti grow at a normally natural pace but I'm in a hurry I guess you could say to obtain as many cactus as I can get them to a more visually enjoyable height and then ungraft and let them reroot themselves. I know patience(sp?) is a virtue ,when I ...

hello all I have many more grafts in the works today I just transplanted 24 opuntia cylindrica cactus into a singular rectangular pot ,it is easier if I keep them in one pot with as many as I have grafted I dont have the room to keep them all in seperate pots but anyways I'm grafting mostly trichoce...

very nice Hob,you are certainly much more patient than I.Patrick

I have been wanting to experiment with using opuntia cylindrica for grafting and now I have 2 trichocereus sdlgs that have just started to fatten up on the opuntia base the first pic is a peruvianus and the other sdlg is either werdermannianus or macrogonus due to my not tagging each sdlg when I sta...

Coronacactus,I used the clear covers that come with them for just the first month then I keep the top open as I should of covered my soil with a good layer of sand cause at the end of the first month I started to see algae I guess it was forming on the soil so I left the cover off to keep the soil d...

I just wanted to mention I normally dont like to think about grafting some many plants but I really need a green house for all my cactus and other botanicals for wintering,but also I would really like to have a small version of a botanical garden to have my cactus and botanicals and ethno's in, abou...

Coronacactus ,I get most of my cuttings from ss they have quite an extensive collection of trichocereus to choose from ,i WAITED QUITE SOME TIME TO GET A HOLD OF THAT PERUVIANUS /JUULS GIANT CREST (darn CAP LOCK) I can assure you that it is a tricho I do however have a myrtillocactus geometrizans cr...

I think the pachy weberi sdlgs are around 18 months they probably would be much bigger but most of my seedlings spent last summer in my wife craft room/my sometimes grow room when she gives me room and this is not the best area for sunlight and I had also spent much time away from home so they didnt...

I have been going nuts waiting for my pereskiopsis to get up to grafting size as I have a few hundred cactus sdlgs I want to graft,so heres a few pics of grafts I have gotten done .Patrick http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/1308_100_0388_1.jpg lopho http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/1308_...
