Philocacti Posted October 11, 2015 A quick question, one of the flower buds started developing rapidly, however it's buried deep in the groves. Should I cut a piece of the graft to give the flower bud space or should I just let it be as it is? My priority goes to the flower more than the looks of the graft. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kadakuda Posted October 22, 2015 bummer, but cool. All mine also rotted, or rather dried up and stayed as is for a couple years. Most of the time, even that area of the plant stopped growing and the plant took of fin other areas (crested tbm). Its going to happen sometime, and hopefully it happens to someone how has another trich with flowers ready to pollinate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Señor Corrochio Posted October 27, 2015 http://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28163 This is yours I guess? I wonder if they're the same clone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted October 27, 2015 the wright brothers didnt land on the moon--- you've given us all hope! Thanks my friend. If this is the time to flower, I guess the buds will always rotting, as fall is the season when my tbm crest get severely attacked by the weeping black rot. I thought that next season would be better a better chance for my grafts, however the one that produced flower buds got too heavy and fell off the stock...so I'm rooting it. The other grafts looks extremely heavy for the connection point of the graft, so I kind of doubt that it's hold up for a long time.... As a graft. Kadakuda - cheers my friend.... SJ - both mine and Kadakuda's are the same clone...from mitosis (from the Nook) and he got it from Bob Smoley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
