Grafts -Photos & Updates

Recommended Posts

Here we go - my first attempt at grafting seedlings. I tried to focus on one at a time but in most of these photos the other ones look better than what I tried to feature.

Some look quite red to me, do I need to worry about reducing their light exposure?

I wouldn't worry if they are under lights. Need to keep humidity high though. Red is ok. They will get cranking in a few weeks.

I have it controlled at about 70% RH, which seems OK for the plants. I read somewhere that the minimum is 60%. Do you have a target RH number for yours?

P.S. I hope mine look like your Psycho0 x TPM one day

Well i keep new grafts in a plastic container at about 100% rh. The peres seem to love it in there. After i see new growth they come out.

3 in one shot

the white crap is superglue that evaporated from the wedge on the left and condensed on EVERYTHING ELSE.

That wedge in the back is an aerole from a bridgesii I lost to rot last week. I blundered through a few different types of aerole grafts, and that one is held in place with a big bead of superglue.

Wish you luck with it. Haven't done any wedge grafts yet.

This a loph jourdaniana. I wonder if it's common for the stock to get like this? Looks super thirsty or something?

11-12 days since my last photo. I estimate the volume of the largest one has grown by nearly 20x since then.

I don't have high expectations from that one. I'm not even sure how to tell what's what through all the glue.

WOW, last I read zygocactus was a no-go for grafts. Serves me right for believing everything I see on the Internet, doesn't it?

 

This opens up whole new avenues for mad science.

This guy is the master. I think this is where the idea came from, a lot of ppl shared this around last year.

I'm the only person I've seen post pics of em on here, I wish other people would do some so we can learn from each other! Some problems I had were the zygo not behaving like in the video. Rooting was problematic after the scion was in place, I found it better to root em out first then grafting. Using 2 pads was better also. 

 

Epiphyllums act similar to hylo for grafts too and are worth more look see.. My next step is picking the best zygo cultivar for grafting, I've got 11 big different bushes to play with next season.

I might get some. There's dozens of cultivars are any preferred? Also will they last any longer than peres?
