hoven5th The attached photo is fissuratus, sown seeds 04/09/07 and grafted 40 days old seedling. Since autumn started from this month in here, this grafted fissuratus was in flower yesterday. The current diameter of the plant is around 10 cm. daiv Wire rack is just hold pots. Hanazono http://inlinet...

I graft quite many Ariocarpus seedlings but also keep ownroot seedlings. I sowed seeds on 04/09/07. Ariocarpus seedlings grew very slowly. I selected best 5 of each species and took a photo.

Waxsimulacra08 The stock of the attached photo is Hylocereus undatus. There is no tricks. I graft tubercle as similar way to seedling grafting. This is a grafted luethyi tubercle. The stock for luethyi is Harrisia jusbertii. Hanazono http://inlinethumb40.webshots.com/40039/2560238780044113659S500x50...

You can graft Mammillria tubercles quite easily.
The attached photo is theresae.
I also have grafted luethyi, bocasana and plumosa.

I bought the seeds from a local, Australian seed supplier but I think origianl seeds came from Europe. As you can see, pistils are also red/pink color.
I could not get seeds last year but I collected some seeds this year.
I will germinate seeds next year and propagate as own-rooted plants.

Super kabuto's gene is quite positive. When you germinated from seeds, quite high ratio of seedlings show the character of super kabuto. I do 1st stage selection when seedlings are 2 years old. I sowed seeds in 2006 and selected 210 seedlings in 2008. I did 2nd stage selection lately and selected 35...

The rooted tubercle introduced on 4th Sep. has still alived but the appearance has been no change at all. When caput-medusae was grafted, pups came out from tubercle. I cut several tubercles with pups and rooted lately. The attached photo is a rooted tubercle with a pup. The pup has started to grow....

They are pink flowers.
I have grafted several "almost red flower" asterias
and collected seeds this year. I will sow them next year.
The attached photo is one of "almost red flower" asterias.

I have sown asterias seeds every year since 2004. The attached photo is medium, flowering size asterias sown seeds in 2004 and 2005, diameters are 6~10 cm. Numbers are around 300 and maily super kabutos. The maximum temperature was 38 'C yeaterday and almost all plants were in flower. http://inlinet...

I have created an Astrophytum hybrid, ornatun v nudum x myriostigma cv Onzuka.
I sowed seeds on 31/08/09 and grafted seedlings on 01/10/09. The photo is one of plants. I think Onzuka character will appear strongly soon.

This is one of grafted seedlings, caput-medusae.
I took the photo yesterday, 25th October. One tubercle has come out. It is small progression. All others are also similar.

Christer The stock is Harrisia jusbertii seedling. You can get about 200~300 seeds from one fruit and can make a lot of grafting stocks easily. It is possible to start using 3 years old seedling as grafting stock. Although I keep several grafted plants for the collection of seeds, almost all will be...

I graft seedlings in this season every year. This spring was wet and cool. Last 3~4 yeres were drought but I am not sure this year. Since it was cool and growing of grafting stock was bit late, timing of grafting was also delayed. I use heating plates for seeds germination and numbers of pots on eac...

I have a grafted ritteri but the stock, Trichocereus spachanus is slowly dying as same as Chris. I tried to graft small pups several times but they could not take. I grafted a slightly larger pup this time. It seeme all right and starts to grow. The size of scion is 1.7 cm. http://inlinethumb53.webs...

I have 5 grafted mexicana plants, sowed seeds in 2006 and grafted in 2007. Sizes are a bit more than 10 cm but I have not seen any flowers yet. Pups have come out from one of plants and I have grafted. Pups but not normal location http://inlinethumb58.webshots.com/45049/2184586170044113659S500x500Q8...
