Yeah Ryan google pereskiopsis grafting, its a type of cacti that grows extremely fast good for grafting really small scions.

Mutant OP = open pollinated

The snow cap is the mutant version so could be throwing back?

Flumsquid the TBM is doing good, will leave it till summer for a photo but so the pic is more impressive lol. I even BAP'ed a few points so fingers crossed.

My two favourite seedling. I lost my blazer ruler somewhere but you can still see good growth.

Lol - Stillman, that second pic belongs in the pr0n thread - cactus bondage ;-) love your work... How did you get ur peres so nice? I got some about 6 months ago and it's got no leaves and isn't doing anything remotely related to growing...

Most of my peres is pretty ratty but some that were under lights and being fed good nutes has come good. I think lights is the key to start them off once they get some good roots they seem to push a bit.

And this is the stump of the Albino/ varigated Psycho0 op I hit it with some back and the pups currently are all showing signs of variegation or albino traits like the original now grafted and growing on some spach This is one of my favourites.

DSCF2076.jpg

DSCF2075.jpg

And heres a non variegate from the same seed batch, god lnows what is in this mongrel, has about 9 ribs long nasty spines that go red and a pretty strong blue colour to it already? MAn the peres looks shit in this shot.

For those of you who received some SS02 x serra canyon bridgesii a few months ago, heres one I grafted its pumping, looks like it will be a rad plant.

Great stuff Stillman that Albino/ varigated is :drool2:

I can see a lot of interesting cacti in the background in some of those pics I hope you are going to show them to us at some stage. :)

A lot of my pere have suffered this year the mother plants that are outside have been absolutely smashed by snails and my stock that are in under lights are struggling as well. I had put it down to how cold It has been here. I haven't been able to graft for a few months because of the sad state of my pere stock .

Cheers

Got

yeah peres is a shit of a plant , either goes gang buster or does nothing. I find though they respond well under 20 watt lights in closed environments, If you give them humidity they do go silly.

pereskiopsis are very good for seedling grafting. they are also not so good in appearance of the graft

I suggest {many of you probably already got bored of me saying that] trying selinicereus, its also very good for seedlings and bigger grafts and its LOTS easier to handle. Also takes more scion weight eventually and final graft looks better

The Albino/ variegated psycho0 (open pollinated) is growing on its permanent stock. I'm looking forward to seeing that this one does. Has some pretty serious red spines for a little tacker.
