I love it!

I learnt my lesson just yesterday, i bumped into another good graft while watering. Entire scion came off. :shock: The one in this thread is growing a little slowly i think because...

Even taller now. I can see that the leaves on top are getting smaller and twisted. The top is not getting the full sun now.

Weird, they won't branch unless they are cut at the tip?

Wow thanks for the luck you guys gave. I think the graft is successful. Looks healthy and plumb at the moment.

This is roughly a week old parodia seedling. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e112/KenQuek/2008/Parodiagraft2.jpg Also found a bottle just right for the little pot for keeping it humid. Made...

I think as common as it is for grafting, someone would have had the idea to grow one for the sake of flowering, but maybe not. :-k Ok this one specially for cactiguide although no flowers yet. Have no idea what species, cutting originated from our generous member Loph. Many Thanks man. http://i38.p...

I would suggest trying on some cheaper plants before spending the $50-100. I tried once to degraft a Mammillaria plumosa but ended with only a stock now.

Almost forgot about them!


Introducing baby Parodia!

Still, some of those seedlings really grew! Next step -flowers! Most of them bloat up when i bring them to the direct sun. Flowers? Hmm, actually i am already so happy to see my seedlings starting to pup! Flowers will give me a heart attack! http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e112/KenQuek/2007/10012...

Quite alot of them are etiolated because i kept them indoor for too long. I think there is still hope.

The white powder on the gymnos are ashes fallen from the top of the chinese burning incense.
