sprac Posted October 23, 2018 Hey, So, I have never used BAP before... Like alot of things in the cacti growing department the information seems to be disparate and there's alot of different opinions.. Apparently it is normally used to induce pupping but there has been some conjecture as to use it to induce early flowering.. My question now is this... I have a couple small globular cacti grafted to pereskiopsis.. They were only sprouted from seed about 2 months ago.. A couple of them were eaten a little bit by caterpillars but survived with a few areoles still intact. They have been alive still now for weeks so clearly they are fine and the bigger one of the 2 seems to have grown, or swollen up, since it has been bit. So I'm assuming it is trying to pup. Would it be safe to use BAP on a very small cacti? When you use it you just want to smudge on a tiny it of it and leave it there right? I also want to experiemtn with grafting either slabs or areoles from bigger trichocereus to pereskiopsis... The idea is, since it's winter and I can only grow indoors, I want to clone out some of the nicer specimens I have and grow them under lights . That way instead of just having a single 3-6 inch trichocereus that I can't grow indoors, I will have a handful of clones of that specimen growing grafted to pereskiopsis.So by spring time I should have at least a few inches of growth on each graft I would hope. Any tips, suggestions or information is appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
