SirLSD Posted November 30, 2006 i have a TBM with about 5 parts which is now starting to pup out of the tip of the penis. the others have a small scar where a spine from a new pup is just starting to form under the surface at the tips too. is this normal? there is plenty of free aeriols that it could pup from instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dqd Posted December 1, 2006 This sounds familiar ... there was another thread of this type I believe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyAmine. Posted December 1, 2006 wow, thats really interesting mate, its new on me, I suppose it could be viral or disease related? I grafted a tbm tip with no areols onto a pachanoi about 18 months ago and it still shows no sign of ever pupping. I would love a cutting, I still need to follow up on the buttons too. Ill PM you soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whiterasta Posted December 1, 2006 Areoles are not necessary for pupping in TBM. Both pics are of tips that had no areoles which not only rooted fine but both are pupping from the base near the roots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyAmine. Posted December 2, 2006 thats a new one to me, thats great.. I wonder why my graft hasnt pupped? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted December 2, 2006 likewise andy never had a tbm pup when there havent been any areoles, have had them pup near the tip when it was stil growing and damaged though. Whiterasta are you sure there were NO areoles?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whiterasta Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) None, in fact the "B" clone got black rot and is only in the ground 1/2" or so and is a piece only2.5-3" long. But no I waited for many months with them seemingly just in stasis niether growing nor rotting. Then the larger piece,the "A" clone, put out a tiny pup from the interface with the rootzone then the "B" clone did the same. Needless to say I was quite pleased with this. I don't know that a graft would behave the same though. The roots and the pup formed from semi-undifferetiated and etiolated cells at the root zone. here they are almost a year ago sitting there thinking about it The slightly etiolated first pup from the "A" clone Edited December 2, 2006 by whiterasta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted December 4, 2006 Hmmm I am guessing the roots near the surface form some sort of areole or something, because you can graft a rootstock and it will pup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Μορφέας Posted December 4, 2006 Any one grafted cacti vertically? hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyAmine. Posted December 4, 2006 Well leaflets pup so why not. I had a pereskiopsis leaf that I had rooted, it was about 12 months old when I uprooted it the other day due to root mealy and it had formed a little nodgel thingo at the base and was obviously about to start pupping/shooting.
