G'morning Edwin,
If that was the case, that would not be a "true" rerooting, since it is not the geohintonia which is re-rooted
The method with a short stock is not new. It was used commomly as called "Daituki Oroshi" for more than 50 years.
Setting depends upon the type of stocks.
Since Pereskiopsis is a non-parmanent stock and I set to meet for non-parmanent stock.
The roots are developed from the short stock initially and so it is "not true rooting" at that stage but the rooting process is not completed yet.
Since Pereskiopsis is a non-parmanent stock, stock will be weak and die eventually in the soil.
When the stock becomes weak, roots of the scion will start to develop and switched over when the stock died.
It takes several years from the setting to rooting of scion in case of Pereskiopsis stock.
A permeable material is used for top dressing in pot for the rooting of the scion.
A short Hylocereus vascular bundle is possible to use as same way.
Do you mean that you try to re-root that geohintonia without it's stock (as oppose to above question)?
Yes I did a normal degrafting for one scion.
The scion has been rooted.
I read that Geohintonia is hard (if not jmpossible) to re-root
I do not know who said " the rooting of Geohintonia is hard."
He may not experience the rooting by himself.
The rooting of Geohintonia is very easy. I have never failed the rooting of Geohintonia.
The rooting of Aztekium is hard but Geohintonia is not.
I read that geohintonia is hard (if not jmpossible) to re-root
Please have a look the attached updated photo taken in this morning.
One of them is own-rooted.
