These are Uebelmannia Pectinifera var Pseudopectinifera grafted as 40 day seedlings onto myrtillocactus i cut the seedlings to low including part of the root this has caused offsets. The one in the bottom right hand corner seems to be dying whether its because of the spines growing into the plant body i dont know. The others well im thinking off cutting one up and regrafting. They are now 15 months old given that i used low stocks and had multiple plants i feel that i can achieve better results next time. Cant wait for some flowers.

That's some really nice work. The one that's dying... do you reckon it would be worth trying to re-graft it to save it?

Your Myrtillocactus seems to be really fat and healthy. Can you share any hints on getting this particular stock to power along so well?

The one thats dying seems to have a fungal disease or something. Ill get a better photo to show might take a while as my close ups are blurry need a good camera that dose close ups.

Turbinicarpus Janernigii grafted at 40 days approx onto harrisia time to degraft in spring once collected seed. They are also fifteen months old.

Turbinicarpus janernigii grafted at approx 40 days onto harrisia now at fifteen months old. Time to degraft in sring once ive collected seed. Harrisia where two year old seedlings that i grew farily hard.

Thanks lachy for the encouragement seems like i did a bobo thought message didnt get through so i went to all the trouble twice. The next pic is funny

I grafted a harrisia onto a hylocereus then a ario kotsch onto the harrisia dont ask my why just thought it would be funny

That's a laugh, what were you thinking? Are you going to graft on top of the ario next? It could be a living artwork!
Ans those jauernigii are fantastic! Very nice plant with really fast results Top stuff!

Nice photos Cactus Cook,


That last one made me laugh, I remember seeing a guy who was using Astrophtym Myriostigma as a stock for other slow growers.... No idea why.

Wow nice Turbinicarpus janernigii ! I cant wait to grow my seeds of them, but ill have to graft to pereskiopsis cos is all i have.

bravo!!! excellent work

I got some peri now and will be setting up a artificial environment so i can start grafting straight away. Will post pics, never grafted this time of year so looking forward to having some fun over winter with grafting. If it wasnt for this web site and seeing the work done by other members with there grafting onto peri that now im inspired to try the same i will in spring do an experiment of seedling grafting onto five differents stocks. But spring is a long time away ive never liked winter always cold all i do is work renovating bathrooms not nearly as exciting as playin around up the back in hothouses so atleast now i can play around with the peri grafting this winter.

well i cant wait to see what you are able to do with pereskiopsis grafting then... how exciting for you having never used it as a stock

Seed was planted 28/1/2009 then grafted on 17/3/2009 onto a two year old harrisia seedling i degrafted the one in front around christmas time. Photo taken today 17/5/2010.
