saguaro Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) does anyone know what causes lophs to have this webbed pattern? Edited January 29, 2021 by saguaro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted January 29, 2021 what do you suppose happens when you force a plant to grow faster than mother nature intended? plain & simple, grafting forces abnormal growth 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saguaro Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I don't know the intentions of mother nature. That aside, I've kept plenty of hard-grown and grafted lophs over the years and I've only had a couple look like this. One hard-grown loph gave off pups and new growth with a very similar look after it recovered from a snail attack. I suspected the snail was a vector for horizontal gene transfer, the same process by which TPQC apparently came to be. I have taken on board your suggestion is that it looks like this because it has been grafted. It could be the case, but it is still an anomaly.
