In this video I will be showing you how you can avoid etiolation on a top cut by cutting its tip off and grafting it onto a well established cactus.

Honestly the best thing about this video is you showed the failed graft. Not only showing what that looks like, and why it happened, but also knowing that even someone with so much experience still doesn't get it to work every time.

The taquimbalensis seeds I received from you have been growing like crazy! Checking them constantly has led to many falling over, but they're so vibrant and cute I cant help it. Thank you again :)

Thanks for the kind words, Lyn, I love your videos as well, they are so much fun and interesting! The last ones with the unboxing and repotting of Byron's plants were particularly great! :)

Dear friend I was wondering your thoughts on using hylocereus (dragon fruit) as a grafting stock? Also i was wondering if the perlite in the soil could be replaced/amended with horticultural charcoal?

Hi! I don’t have an adult plant, is there any way to avoid etiolation? Also I have a fungus gnat infestation, and my cuttings are not rooting after several weeks of being placed atop the soil. Do you have any advice?

I have etiolation in a few of my cacti. Will they fill out in the future or stay the same? If not, should I take a cutting and plant that? Will it then fill out?

My San Pedro is growing something on one side...it looks like maybe roots... Some small white tips growing out from the side all the way from down to the near top. Is this normal or what is happening?

Decades ago, I came across the notion that Lophophora may be 'hurried along' to maturity, by grafting seedlings to a strongly growing stock, such as - say - Pachanoi, or perhaps 'Pachanot'. I'm curious as to wether you have experience of something like this and - if so - what results you may have had. I enjoy your videos a great deal and am very interested in acquiring some of your pukka seeds. Fifty-some years ago, I was subscribed to the - now defunct - Exotic Collection in Worthing, England. I was on their list to receive Lophophora seeds for years and only, finally, got some after complaining strongly about having to wait so long for nothing - none germinated, btw. It's heartening to know that they're now available through you. It's been a long wait.

Grafting is a very common technique to increase growth rates in slower growing plants. Trichocereus is just one genus suitable for use as a rootstock. Myrtillocactus is another. Pereskiopsis is commonly used as stock for micrografting very young seedlings.

@elmonte5lim Жыл бұрын

@@musclecactus5183 Indeed, although the species 'Pachanoi', given it's 'sacred' status, seems like a particularly good fit for what I have in mind. I had a youngish Myrtillocactus in my collection. The thought - now - of mutilating it, seems like a crime, in that it looked as though it had been precision moulded, rather than grown.

Sounds like you have been into these plants for a loooooong time! Regarding the seeds, please email me if you haven't done that already.

@@sanpedromastery6262 Yes indeed. It was the sixties, when vegetarians were cranks and people who grew cacti were weird. Then half a century went by. Now, almost EVERYTHING's weird. Coming across your channel's reawakened my interest big time. Must be one of those 'meant to be' things. Looking forward to getting in touch and getting my hands dirty again.
