Stenting

Recommended Posts

Tired of the glochids i came up with this novel technique (partly inspired by Ann Halonium)

 

It's called stenting (a portmanteau 'stek' and 'ent' wich are dutch for cutting and graft), it's beeing used for roses (and probably other plants)

 

Seeing how grafts may take around 24 days untill everything needed is restored and growth can commence it's yet to be seen what results this will bring.

Unless someone already experienced with this technique can chime in ofcourse.

 

Glochids have been removed by rubbing with a piece of kitchen paper (wearing gloves advised)

 

Note: while these pere are perfectly safe to use as twirling sticks, doing so will in some cases make it hard to keep track of wich side is up

If your desire is for your grafts to grow very slow... I think this technique is excellent.

 

I will explain. No leaves present... means the growth is going to be slowed down. Grafting on nice healthy vibrant fast growing Pereskiopsis with healthy green leaves exploding with growth will better serve your interests. Protect your fingers with a bit of parafilm if you must. Wrap the scion tight to the graft with parafilm and you will never need to slow down watering of your graft or fertilizing of your graft ensuring it grows much faster...

I can second that as I degrafted several of mine of last winter's batch from peres with no leaves.  Their growth was very slow ~20-30% and extra spiny compared to their tall leafy counterparts.

 

If glochids are giving you trouble, gloves are a better option.  An archers glove with nice thick leather on thumb, index and middle fingers would probably be a great solution.  Otherwise a thorn-armour glove on one hand works well.

I'd need a ultra thin nanomaterial glove to keep me from crushing the pere as well as the seedlings :P

 

Most of my stents took but many pere rotted, probably should have waited for callus

 

I've put a couple on leafed pere
