Moses Posted September 24, 2012 dude love the Albino Psycho0, how is the stump of it going still pupping variegates?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) the stump went spaz and started to rot and I had to graft the pups I think 3 took. Will put a pic up when they show some new growth. Edited September 24, 2012 by Stillman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bowser Posted September 24, 2012 WOW that albino looks awesome! Glad you were able to get a few more pups out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOnThen Posted September 24, 2012 Hey Stillman you have been getting some really good growth over the last few months they are looking really good. Have you had a fair bit of warm weather or are these under lights? The Albino/ variegated psycho0 is an amazing looking plant keep the photos coming Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted September 24, 2012 I have them out side in a mini hot house under shadecloth but they all start off under 20 watt cfls, but they have really gone nuts once I put them outside. The spot gets long sun and it is warming up here. Been in the high 20s low 30s all week and the humidity has been cruel. I think its the humidity that they like the most.

Stillman Posted September 28, 2012 The Albino/ variegated pups have taken well. 3 in total, pic of the best one. I will be mass propagating this one in the new year, onto peres and permanent stock. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flumsquid Posted October 21, 2012 Nice work dude. When would you degraft the larger cacti? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted October 21, 2012 I think I'm just going to leave them go until they either break the peres or exhaust it, while they are still putting on good size quick I figure its best to let them do their thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted November 17, 2012 November update thought I would show some grafts I haven't update for a while and update my Albino Tricho project. OK so TBM on T.spach Sick pach on spach this one is like a big ugly art installation Not sure what this one is either a Mammarilla or Rebutia peres ANd a group shot of some of my seed grown on own roots and seed grown grafted Trichocereus And my albino Trichocereus project group shot from them I will make take some more grafts and then get them out into the community, I'm starting to think the cross is possibly Psycho0 x T. spachianus. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted November 17, 2012 This pic has two interesting grafts in it, the front left is from the same seed as the Albino to me it looks very "spachianus like" hence why I have my theory. The tricho on the right is a nitrogen cross Ecuadorian pach x N1 cool looking plant looking forward to that one putting on some size. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ilovecacti Posted November 20, 2012 Very cool thread, I think you've convinced me to try some grafting in the new year, where do you get pereskiopsis from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted November 20, 2012 you can get some from me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2Deep2Handle Posted November 20, 2012 Ow man I would love a little albino spach on pere one day. Waves hand about madly as sign of 'expression of interest' :D Looks like a couple of the ones of pere already have pups ready to put on more pere too? :D Love the pics man. Grafting is a never ending joy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted December 14, 2012 Ok thought I would post some pics of some of my earlier grafts. Cereus on Echinopsis barrel Not 100% what this is I thought T pasacana? on T spachianus My first ever peres graft Astrophytum asterias hybrid (from Hellonasty seed) I had heaps of these grafted and catapillars ate most of them when they were tiny one night. This is the only one that survived. I think it was grafted from seed in January? Astro on spach has a flower so must be happy? TBM on spach looks like its really going to push this year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted December 14, 2012 And some trichos Nitrogens Ecuadorian pach x NI Probably my fasted growing batch of seeds JB open pollinated from PDs garden. And what looks like will be my Heaviest peruvianist seedling J3 open pollinated again from PD ANd my albino clones I'm going tyo buy some little scops and permanent graft the other seedlings from the peres, then bap the stump and do it again lol. And finally a little rare Adenium grafted on a A obesum seed stock just for shits and giggles. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stillman Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) New years update, Most of the grafts will be coming up 10 months point from seed germination. The Ecudorian pach x N1 and the sso2x Serra Canyon would only be about 6 months from memory. Most of my original batch of seeds were through PD, the Psycho0 open pollinated seeds are very interesting, Initially I thought they may have been crossed with T spachianus but am not sure? They are producing very heavy long spined progeny, That aren't really growing very rapidly. Group shot of my favourite grafts and seedlings which show the best growth. J3 open pollinated this is a seriously thick peru hybrid. 2 Albino Psycho0 open pollinated on permanent stock I still haven't done anything with the ones on peres but I intend to graft a few onto some T peruvianus. sso2 x Serra Canyon Jb open pollinated Very fast growing bridgesiod Some of these plants are showing very nice blue. This one is 29cm and I'm pretty sure I only grafted it in July. Rosei #1 x PC pach Ecudorian pach x N1 Psycho0 open pollinated Edited January 2, 2013 by Stillman 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
