Philocacti Posted July 11, 2015 So this Trichocereus seedling is from my 1st batch I've ever sown. It was in February 2005. I've purchased the seeds from Doug & Vivi Rowland from the UK. Here's the original thread on the Nook http://www.thenook.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=30745&page=2 They kept growing till November 2005, then I neglected and all of them died or so I thought. I threw the "dead" seedlings in my adult pachanois soil mix as a kind of compost. In October 2009 as was turning the soil of one my pachanoi, I've found the seedling buried but still alive and has a big root. I planted it and watered and fertilized it but it hasn't grown that much, so I decided to graft it this season, to give it a push. 2 weeks ago I made 2 grafts, the tip and the middle part was grafted sideway. The tip has started growing 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogfrog Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Well we do all recognise that these cacti are often purveyors of highly important information... So I can see why an agent (of the Cosmic Intelligence Agency ) would commit such time towards extracting it. There are surely simpler methods of obtaining it tho ;) Edited July 12, 2015 by bogfrog 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigHeart13 Posted July 11, 2015 Curious to see how this one goes in the future. I have some pretty gnarly looking specimens as well but nothing near as bad as that lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philocacti Posted October 1, 2015 This one is turning to be a real beauty The funny thing is, the tip graft is still growing with "immature" and the log graft is pushing adult mature areol The grafted tip Grafted stump 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
