i have on one occasion left a jar (without opening it at all) wich was half colonised with mycelium and half with mold to see if it would still fruit as i know they will fruit invitro if left for to long the mycelium did take over the mold and it did fruit alot of fruits and big ones to all while still in the jar its quite a crazy sight to see them curling all around the edges of the jar trying to find a way out please note nothing was consumed it was purely experimental and was disposed of afterwards if you are worried about contaminated jars putting you at risk it is recommended to put them through your pressure cooker again to kill off any bad stuff you may breathe in then you can open them and dump them out with relatively no worries

hate to burst ya bubble but unfortunately i really cant see this working in the past i have used slices of peres only around half a cm to a cm which have rooted and thrown new shoots wich is good to know for creating more stock. but i have to say sorry the whole idea of grafting directly to a leaf sounds a like a guaranteed failure to me good luck though id love to see it actually work cacti can do some crazy things

a variegated scop x bridge very interesting would love to trade a cut of that sometime mate

Best Cacti for Grafting After Pereskiopsis
myco replied to doxneed2c-me's topic in Cacti & Succulents
That's the strangest law I've ever heard why would something with a higher mesc content be legal and something with lesser be illegal Where the hell do u live -
Gotta agree there I've never seen any revert to normal growth at all and they grow really fast Someone from the states I think said there's a clone A and clone B pach crests being sold over there somewhere I have one that looks very different from the rest I'll put some pics up to show the difference It's almost looking like a TBM crest but the spines just aren't big enough in my opinion it definately looks different though
-
beautiful GOT you really seem to have your growing on point all your plants show amazing growth and always look very happy and healthy your a champ mate i'll wack up a couple pics of my freds they both look alot more like your grafted one there they dont look crested at all like that large one you have there however they arent very big and have been attacked by snails a bit in the past i'll get some pics up would love to do a trade sometime if they are different

anyone have any experience with Blossfeldia Liliputana
myco replied to myco's topic in Cacti & Succulents
I'm gonna sow a bunch more of these seeds to play around with i think i grafted a few more today see how we go this time gonna try and keep them in the humidity chamber as long as possible i'm thinking leave them in there until i start to see some decent growth on them is gonna be the key to success here wish me luck -
anyone have any experience with Blossfeldia Liliputana
myco replied to myco's topic in Cacti & Succulents
Damn that sucks hostilis I Attempted 2 blossfeldia grafts they were both looking great after a week and a half then I thought id take them out of the humidity chamber and overnight they shriveled into nothing I think they definately need to be kept in a high humidity for alot longer than other grafts -
self fertile to so you should get some nice little seeds out of it

I've never had problems with rot when using BAP The first time I tried I used the wrong kind of lanolin oil it was literally like watery oil that wasn't such a great idea it ran all over a bunch of stuff but even then it still never caused any problems with rot They didn't look to pretty afterwards but you get that One astrophytum got covered in it and looked like it was gonna get rot for a while then it just suddenly burst out about 20 pups I wouldn't be worried about it I've got nuthin but good to say about BAP it's amazing stuff

the pup on the original is beggining to flatten out im hoping that it will take on its crested form with my experience with crests its far more likely to crest if i leave it rather than removing it i will eventualy graft the main portion with strong cresting if it comes to it that was why i took i nice crested piece to graft unfortunately rather than growing out it immediately pupped only time will tell if these pups will crest or not

all good still a valid question i think others have had trouble with this to when i click on and look at a picture in my photobucket library it has a box on the side wich says at the top links to share this photo use the last one in the box the IMG link the code will start off with [url= edit: can i just add maybe it would be a good idea for us to hunt around for as many different photos of TBM crests wether you own them or not maybe a wider view of the different looks these are showing would help to narrow down different variations in them and possibly the origins of some of them just a thought

Sorry I've never done much reading on fertility of trichos as unfortunately none of mine have ever flowered But I guess this still brings into question the fact that crests can very often revert and throw normal shoots So where did your particular crested TBM seeds come from did they originate from a Clone A or a Clone B I guess That's really wat would determine if it were to throw normal shoots and what those normal shoots would be
