help for albino santaniensis seedling

Recommended Posts

i need a little help\advice
in the seedlings i found an albino tricho, it is a santanensis from mancos, i would be very sorry to lose it, so I'd like to try to graft it
the biggest problem is that I can not find pereskiopsis cuttings and the only stock i have available are opuntia indica and some small peruvianus(0.4 cm diameter x 2cm tall)
do you think I can have some chance? which of the two might be better?
thank you very much

if you have no pereskioppsis try the opuntia...

 

where are you located? 

 

join some groups on facebook, people world wide generally have lots of pereskiopsis & many are willing to share with newbies.

i live in a small town in southern europe
i tried to contact several nurseries, but it seems impossible to find ....only one had pereskia, but I'm not sure if it's okay (Somewhere I've read that it can cause detachment problems)
The albino will be 6-8 weeks old, while the peruvian seedlings have 3-4 months, maybe are they too young?
now I have no photos, but i post them as soon as possible
for the opuntia, must it be already rooted ?


thanks a lot

Have you tried your local eBay for pere?

I can't comment on grafting to opuntia as I don't have any direct experience with it. But I would think you could graft to it unroofed as long as the opuntia hasn't been cut off the mother any more then a couple of weeks....

You can graft to pere after a week from germination, I would think you could do it to opuntia at this age...

It happens. Albinos tend to be harder to get to survive. 

The red in your graft suggests it got an infection. You need to sterilise your razor blade before cutting. If you missed the vessel it would just slowly dry out...
