Popular Post Jox Posted February 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I would like to start a thread were we can put up photos of our grafts, I will be putting photos here of my grafts & trying to update when necessary. I will be trying to give the most accurate details of each graft. I encourage others to put there photos here. I will start with my Lophophora grafts.These seeds came as mixed L. williamsii & were sown on the 18/4/12, I grafted two of them onto Peres at about four months old 13/8/12.1st L.williamsii photo taken 13/8/12 Photo taken 23/2/13 scion is 2.4cm wide 2nd L.williamsii Photo taken 13/8/12 Photo taken 23/2/13 scion is 1.5cm wide This next lot of Lophophora seeds were sown on the 3/11/12, I grafted them onto Peres on the 29/1/13 so they are only new & I will have to update in a month or so.Two L.fricciPhoto taken 23/2/13 Two L.jourdanianaPhoto taken 23/2/13 Two L.koehresiiPhoto taken 23/2/131st looks normal 2nd looks like it may be variegated One L.ziegleriPhoto taken 23/2/13 One L.decipiensPhoto taken 23/2/13 Thanks for looking & please add your photos & experiences .Cheersjox Edited May 7, 2013 by Jox 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillman Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Heres a couple of pics of my Lobivia Hybrid seedlings.I crossed L arachnantha (lemon white) with Lobivia firetruck (purple flower) Seedlings seem to have alot of variegated traits. And this one is dichotomous and I think somewhat variegated.and the seedling on the right is showing an unusual growth in its crown and starting to pup already.

Jox Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Looking good mate, can't wait to see them at flowering size!A few people ask me "How do you know if your graft has been successful". I can tell normally after about 14 days, after this time if my grafts are still plump & holding colour its a success, if they are losing colour, shriveling or throwing roots, I know I have been unsuccessful.Here are a couple of photos of unsuccessful grafts. These were done the same time as the seedlings in the first post (29/1/13)L.williamsii var texanaPhoto taken 23/2/13you can see the root coming from the base of the scion! L.decipiensPhoto taken 23/2/13you can see this scion is starting to shrivel & just starting to put out a root I am pretty happy with all the grafting I did on the 29/1/13, these were the only two that did not take. I hope this information can help others with there grafting journey. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogfrog Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 This thread is dominated by pere grafts!Can tricho grafts play too?Will take some pics tomorrow, i have 5 pere grafts that have definately worked, but most of mine are on trichs.I have really enjoyed using my SS01 X SS02 & SS02 X Bridgesii seedlings as grafting stock for wee buggers, they have been working perfectly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jox Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I think any Cactus grafts would be great here .Also the more info you can put about your graft the better, I am know expert by any shot, so the more we can read the more we can all learn . I love Spine Collectors grafts & would love to know what they are ( I think I spotted a few Ario's).@bogfrog, Can you pleeeeessssseee add a pick of your Ario graft/grafts. My seed germinated months ago but has not done much since then, Arios are this weeks grafting project for me.Cheersjox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogfrog Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sure thing Jox, i had only one survive the first month (fungus gnats were bothering them) so i grafted it, it took ages to move, shrunk a little, so i kept it in hudity for 3 weeks & with daily encouragment from me, it finally became my 1st succesful pere graft. It was a ariocapus fissuratus x ariocapus lloydiiIts putting on a good girth and i can just see the tip of a new arm springing up.Pics 2mrw! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimystic Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Oh yeah Bogfrog!!! How could I forget!!!Here is my first graft that actually took! My first 3 or 4 attempts were of seedlings that got base rot and I grafted in an attempt to try and save them.... this was one of them.. 2 others I was able to root in a sandier soil and I will likely be grafting them too when the other pach's get rollingThis seedling tip was maybe 8 or 9 months in age... I have all my seedlings on almost exactly the samewatering schedule and the same soil mix but the Icaros seedlings were very sensitive to watering at first...These were already very fast growers, labeled Icaros.. Not bad for 4+ months growth!October 6 2012 February 21 2013 Grafted onto a PC stock 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2meke Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) really good idea for a thread!this is the base of a bridgey seedling a few weeks after i grafted it 2 seasons ago. nowthe tip of the seedling didn't take so it's a good example of why its good to graft the top and bottom of a seedling if you can. stock is a pachanoi seedling. awesome little stock hasn't pupped once, don't know if its because the bridgey just wanted to grow or if its a really good grafting stock. will degraft before next season. the original seedling base still has a little dormant root bud so should be easy to root. oh yea the scion is 40cm now Edited February 27, 2013 by 2meke 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhb2444 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 My first 2 successful grafts.This first one is a TBM to T. pachanoi (grafted October 2012) which pupped pretty quickly and is now just chilling This one is my first and only successful loph graft (so far) that was grafted on to T. pachanoi on 14/12/2012, it has since been ravaged by mites and is showing some interesting growth from the damage 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimystic Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) That is really cool 2meke! Question??? as far as I can tell the butt end had no spines... did it or not?? I also grafted the butt end of a Peruvianus Ayucho to a Pach and the other half to Peres... cause it was my only seedlling in that batch ... looks like its doing well but I've been wondering how it'll grow... but your pic says alot!

2meke Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 it had 3 sets of spines. you need at least one for new growth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nitrogen Posted March 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2013 Wow, those photos are awesome - love your collection Bogfrog!Here's a pic of a grafted piece of TPM x SS02 - it has just started really growing and looks badass with the contrast between fresh growth and the suburned part. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitrogen Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Mushroomman - yah I've got some interesting little buggers from this year's crosses as well - here's some pics of a few of those as well as some Roseii#1:TPC X SS02/SS02xpachanoi/Juules:TPM x (SS02 x pachanoi)TPQC x TPM (curious to see if this cross puts out more freaks than the Psycho0 x TPM and (SS02 x pachanoi) x TPM crosses - if so we can deduce that the TPQC is cresting at least partly related to genetics, I would think..Roseii # 1 x open pollinated Edited March 3, 2013 by nitrogen 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogfrog Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 TPQC x TPM (curious to see if this cross puts out more freaks than the Psycho0 x TPM and (SS02 x pachanoi) x TPM crosses - if so we can deduce that the TPQC is cresting at least partly related to genetics, I would think..https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa23/bringyourownbios/IMG_1773_zpsfdd8344f.jpg&key=2bfcc296b6f90cbe655868021625838c4170d168152813327e5639e0157bbe77I am inclined to think so too.. i have only grafted one of your recent crosses to pere, it was this cross (TPQC X TPM) and it began cresting right away.
