Degrafting
Re: Degrafting
Wow that is incredible!!! Thank you for sharing that. I wonder if it will grow a new tap root.
Re: Degrafting
I think a new tap root was developed.
A tubercle with an off-set should be used for the rooting.
The off-set will grow after rooted.
It is possible to root a tubercle without off-sets but it will be happened nothing on the tubercle.

Re: Degrafting
I set degrafted asterias posted on 11th August for the rooting.
When a grafting union was located deep in the scion body, a large hole is formed during degrafting as shown on the photo.
The hole will never wet by normal watering from top.
I filled up the hole by wet clay grain, around 1 mm size.
All degrafted scions were set on wet potting-mix for the rooting.

Re: Degrafting
I degrafted 23 of 1st filial Astrophytum hybrids for the preparation of rooting.
The species is fukuryu banjyaku x myriostigma cv kikkou.
Since banjyaku itself is a hybrid and so the species is (fukuryu myriostigma x ornatum) x myriostigma cv kikkou.
I have tried to create a species of fukuryu with kikkou ribs.
They are 2 years old.
The size is various but large ones are 11 cm in diameter and they were in flower last spring.
After the completion of drying process, I will set them for the rooting.

Re: Degrafting
I degrafted 2 years old, Astrophytum myriostigma cv Onzuka yesterday.
The size is varied but large ones are around 10 cm in diameter.

Re: Degrafting
Selected 6 of Astrophytum hybrids posted on 20th August were set for the rooting in this morning.
The main potting-mix is 60% pumice sand and 40% organic material.
Top 20 mm is pumice sand only.
Pots are 125 mm square pot.

Re: Degrafting
9 Astrophytum hybrids posted on 20th August and 3 Onzuka posted on 21st August were in pots for rooting today.
Pots are 9.5 cm square pots.

Re: Degrafting
4 of Ariocarpus retusus v major degrafted in 2014 had grown well and I repotted in this afternoon.
They are around 15 cm in diameter.
Before repotting
After repotted
All roots were fine roots, I could not see any tap roots.

Re: Degrafting
7 off-sets of Geohintonia mexicana, around 1 cm in diameter were grafted on Peleskiopsis stocks two years ago.
They have grown well and have reached 5~6 cm in diameter.
I degrafted them with short stocks in this morning.
Stocks and scions
Pre-cutting by a scissors
Cutting back the stock by a knife to the target length, 20 mm
The union of one of them were broken off during this job and it was moved to a normal degrafting.
As the result, 6 scions were set for the rooting.
Set on wet potting-mix immediately for the rooting

Re: Degrafting
3 scions turned to monstrous form were degrafted in the morning.
The grafting affected the formation.
Sions have short Pereskiopsis stocks and 8 cm square pots.
2nd filial red flowering hanazono kabuto
A. myriostigma cv red bean khoyou, kikkou

Re: Degrafting
Hi, I'd just like to say everything looks beautiful (I know it's obvious). I won't be degrafting anything for some time since I'm just getting started but I hope far in the future I'll have some results like yours. Good stuff 
Re: Degrafting
The life of Peleskiopsis is short when it was used for a grafting stock.
If you grafted a few months old seedling in spring, the scion will reach a flowering size within 2 years.
Pereskiopsis will loose all leaves in second winter which you can not expect a speedy growing of the scion.
When the stock lost leaves,it is the time to degraft the scion.
I degraft scions when they are 2 years old.

Re: Degrafting
24 of very young seedlings were grafted 2 years ago.
Scions are Ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower.
I started to degraft in this morning. Each scion has a short stock.
Since the size of scions were various, pots were selected to meet the size of scions.
6 largest scions were selected at first and set on 125 mm square pots for the rooting.

Re: Degrafting
I selected 12 small ones and set them in 9 cm square pots for the rooting in the afternoon.
6 scions have been remained.
The photo is 12 small ones.

Re: Degrafting
Last 6 did not fit in 9 cm square pots and went into 12.5 cm square pots in this morning.
I completed the degrafting of 24 Ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower.
The photo is last 6.
