tipz Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Pics or it did'nt happen! http://i1084.photobu...st/IMG_3839.jpg It's only little and slightly scarred, but It's here ( not much to fap over - just yet ) Im hesitant to graft it, as it has allready rooted and i have a funny feeling that grafting increases the chance of crests reverting ? ( could someone clarify that for me ? ) edit - this plant was sourced from within Australia Edited April 20, 2012 by tipz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonstn Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Kadas garden has a little section on grafting crests if you wanted a squiz tipz http://www.kadasgarden.com/grafting3.html Dont know if it'll be any help to you, I think the main point in it was just making sure you cut it correctly so it can 'fan out' Good to hear you sourced it from oz must be more kicking around Edited April 20, 2012 by Jonstn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted April 21, 2012 Mates..... This 14 x 5 cm rooted offset or this rooted 13 x 7 cm rooted offset could probably safely arrive in Oz sent bare root & via specialized methods. Smaller, unrooted cuts from the mama (40 x 40 cm shown below) could also safely arrive..... As at least some can attest to......no guts, no glory. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tipz Posted April 22, 2012 Man, they would look great in my collection. A question for the more experienced cacti cultivator : Does the accelarated growth brought on by grafting increase the chances of a crest to revert ? I am quite confident in my skills to graft my little 2x3cm pach crest but am unsure of wether or not It would be the best option. I have just lost a very expensive crest as it fully reverted and I really dont want to see it happen again. Any advice welcomed cheers - tipz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted April 22, 2012 Holy fuck that's beautiful. Is that yours Zelly? yes. If you look carefully at the base, you'll see two scars where I cut off BAP induced pups. One is the first plant above, another is grafted onto a T. pach. A question for the more experienced cacti cultivator : Does the accelarated growth brought on by grafting increase the chances of a crest to revert ? IMO, if the scion is actively growing as well as the intended rootstock, then there's a pretty good chance the crest will continue on as a crest. You want to eliminate or minimize the chance of the graft stalling. Size of the scion also seems to play a role, with the larger the better. Same with the rootstock. I've posted pics of my variegated tbm. Occasionally it puts out an all green pup, or one marginally variegated, both which I promptly remove. My philosophy is it's going to be encouraged to grow richly variegated pups & nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moses Posted April 22, 2012 As at least some can attest to......no guts, no glory. but remember if caught it could be quite costly, a 10cm crested pach sent from US to Aus got my house and my brothers searched (with warrants) and computers seized to look for email correspondance as the plant was cleverly packaged it was assumed I had done this before. Charges werent laid and i was let off with serious warning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattookay Posted April 22, 2012 there are few crested peruvianus around.. i bought one on ebay a few months ago (in aus).. when she gets bigger i'd love to spead some cuts around but there was about 4 of them for sale at once from 2 different people so maby keep looking and you could get lucky like i did!

tipz Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) crested peruvianus ( as it is so labelled anyway and i would be VERY interested to see an aereole graft of this clone( which i am in the process of doing as we speak) ) Is actually quite widespread here in oz Mattokay. ( so many plants - like the cereus crest passed of as trichocereus akira on ebay are deliberately misnamed and passed of as something it is not )- solely for profit ! ( which is pretty deceptive and below the belt IMO ) this is the pachenoi crest that is supposedly the rare and elusive clone that has not until now hit our shores. ( if it is allready here i am not sure - I have the only one that has been publicly announced ) Moses, so from what you are saying, you knowing or unknowingly attempted to import the crested pach and it was intercepted ? By your brothers i am assuming law enforcement ? Did they really take your pc/pc's for further investigation ? please tell me more ? BTW - being a local adelaidean and one of the biggest fans on SAB of crested and monstrose cacti - you are very high on the list of those that will be offered a cutting of this clone as soon as she is big enough. Im not looking to cash in at all, in fact, I got it for pretty much nothing so will be giving away cuttings in the near future. So zelly, you think I would be better off grafting this little pup ? is that the general consensus amongst the more experienced growers ?
