ferret Posted March 30, 2011 lovely grafts man! especially like the macrogonus and scop x sausage... and the arios.. and the colourful feros... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted March 30, 2011 Excellent work my friend!!!! Peres sure does speed things along there is no doubt. Arios still seem to grow slow on the peres but i have only done the 2 grafts ( fiss and trig ) and the stock is in 63mm pots with a coir based medium, the lophs in the same conditions are growing fairly slow too come to think of it....... Time to pot them on i think. How do your ario grafts compare to the others growth wise? What do you use for a humidity dome and how long do you keep them in it for? I use a 2ltr soft drink bottle with the bottom cut off, this slots into a 100mm pvc end cap, i think its 100mm anyways. These mini humidity domes worked awesome as you can control each plants humidity etc I have a heap of ario seedlings and peres ready to go, might head out to tha greenhouse and mangle a few plants.

tripsis Posted March 30, 2011 Awesome stuff man, really nice grafts! That alleged T. macrogonus is a strange looking Tricho. Really love the Ariocarpus grafts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOnThen Posted March 30, 2011 Very nice Blowng The scop x sausage is that from Toby's seeds? I never used to be keen on ferocactus but your grafts have just converted me. Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bℓσωηG Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) How do your ario grafts compare to the others growth wise? The Arios were alot slower to get going where as the lot of Lophophora and Turbinicarpus that were sown at the same time have long since been de-grafted. What do you use for a humidity dome and how long do you keep them in it for? yeah cut softdrink bottles are ideal with a little bit of water sprayed in the bottle to up the humidity, but i use what ever container i can get my hands on cos i dont drink softdrinks. I do get some strange looks when riding my pushy stopping to pick up empty bottles and stuffing them in my bag That alleged T. macrogonus is a strange looking Tricho I agree out of them all it was very different looking to the others and grew fatter, be interesting to see what it does in the future. The scop x sausage is that from Toby's seeds? Yep from toby, grafted a couple ...this was the biggest one so far... All the Ariocarpus were from seedsaustralia Edited March 30, 2011 by blowng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted March 30, 2011 Great grating man, never seen opuntia grafted before. How old are your ariocarpus grafts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bℓσωηG Posted March 30, 2011 How old are your ariocarpus grafts? just over 1 yr old now, slooow but too small to de-graft ,hope they don't shrivel during the upcoming winter,hopefully i can de-graft next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted March 30, 2011 These are some awesome grafts there , you got the 'hand' for sure mate! I am thrilled to see the grafted Feros, I got lots of them in their own roots, only one flowering, and have been keen on trying to graft some from seedling when I some seed falls into my hands.

toby Posted March 31, 2011 thanks for posting blowng! glad to see a scop x sausage success.. embarrassing as it is i'm yet to sow any of them.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted April 1, 2011 just over 1 yr old now, slooow but too small to de-graft ,hope they don't shrivel during the upcoming winter,hopefully i can de-graft next year. yup, they are very slow; even on pereskiopsis I had the same growth rate as you and they never flowered. I lost one and the other i grafted it to a myrtillo and im hoping it flowers this season. It's morphology changed after i grafted it to the myrtillo. Freat grafts very inspirational Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bℓσωηG Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) I never thought id see this flowering so soon! Ariocarpus retuses Varigated J1 x pach which PD said might be a possible mis-labelling.. ...and might as-well include this pic of the biggest L.fricii i had on peres before it was de-grafted...

nitrogen Posted October 27, 2011 Wow - amazing! I'm inspired! Just did my first graft the other day - LW to T. pach - but I've got a bunch of Pereski's rooting at the moment and some seedlings ready for grafting.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted October 28, 2011 blownG, this is the first time, i see your grafts and i liked the arios the best. all your specimens look sooo healty and crisp, even the peres stock looks pristine. i hope you will update us with the fricii de graft, i am particularly interressted in any pic's regarding re grafts.
