Pie'oh'Pah Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Hello All After 5 or more years of growing Cacti one of my TBMs has sprouted a new pup unlike any before. A couple of question: Should I think about grafting Is this common Can I force this to occur Should I try to grow it on its own roots I'll put up some other photos for help with identification. If people in WA are interested I have heaps or Trichocereus Pachanoi and TBM for sale. Maybe even a few large buttons ;-). Wishing all my fellow growers. Kind Regards Pie Edited October 6, 2018 by Pie'oh'Pah 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solomon Posted October 6, 2018 Nice! I would graft in segments and then remove any "normal" tbm growth that appears to promote more of the cristata growth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inyan Posted October 6, 2018 As small as that specimen is, I might forego grafting and just remove any normal pieces of growth for a bit. The reason I say this is that when I have grafted newly turned crested specimens or even older ones for that matter, they do often revert back to normal form for a bit. How long that bit is seems to vary from a few weeks, to months, or even longer. Of course, you could also graft a small piece of your new mutant to something and check out that property right away. Just leave the majority of your crested specimen intact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
