| i think i am up with some stiff competition PLUS i have not had any cacti in my posetion for longer than 5 months except for my golden barrel. so these grafts and this competition are going to teach me something if not just how to be a good looser  |

| I confirmed successfull grafting of a 2 days old seedling yesterday and repotted it into a parmanent pot.
I use 50 mm tube for grafting stock propagation but repot to 90 mm deep square pot (Olive pot) after grafted.
I perpared a special potting-mix for this plant.
Main soil: 75% cactus and succulent potting mix in market, 25% matured chiken pellet manure
Top soil: 100% matured chiken pellet manure

I think the sunlight in my greenhouse is softer than yours but the color of your elongatus is also not too bad.
I use two layers of 50% green shadecloth.

| Nice work Darren and Hanazono, both looking good. I'm amazed how fast Hanazono's has grown. I have a few entries but they are struggling because I grafted them to young Hylo stock because that was all I had available. I will post a pic later today. _________________ My Cacti Blog, please come visit me.
