djmattz0r Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone, I have recently been trying to graft more and more seedlings and have been running low on pereskiopsis. They just won't root and grow fast enough for me, so I am trying to increase the number of mothers so I can have proper numbers for grafting. If anyone has any to spare or is overrun by them currently I am willing to pay or trade for them. I would prefer US members since fresh cuttings are best for peres.. Just shoot me a PM Thanks <3 Edited May 26, 2014 by djmattz0r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyThKid Posted May 26, 2014 I was going to ask what seeds did you have to trade but he got to you already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyThKid Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks HH Answer to your question is too many, that's why I need the peres I need grafting stock other than peres. Im grafting quarter sized grafts of aztekium ritteri, and i just ran out of myrtillocactus to graft to. I have tried one aztekium pup to pereskiopsis and its alive still, but i dont know if its attached still or not. the root stock started to pup with is sometimes a sign of a failed graft but my ariocarpus seedling grafted to peres did the same thing. i just cut off the graft and it did not produce another one. but i have at least 6 pups of aztekium i need to get grafted and a main head as well. the root stock is on its last leg and i need to remove the pups so i dont cut them when i cut the main head for re-grafting. so i have the option of using peresiopsis which i really dont want to do with my aztekium as they tend to split on peres. we all have out current issues. they are not bad issues, just challenging. Good luck on your grafting, do you typically use plastic wrap technique? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmattz0r Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) I don't apply pressure to seedlings on pereskiopsis and I usually impale graft larger scions. If I need to apply pressure on larger graft stock I use rubber bands and cotton kite twine. Edited May 26, 2014 by djmattz0r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
