Hi everyone!
In this video we finally wrap up the "how to de-graft cacti" video series.
This episode focuses on the aftercare of cactus de-grafts and the various stages the cacti scions will go through during the rooting process.
Not in the video is the application of the hormone powder, so just to clarify: You apply enough powder to coat the cut surface and then dust off or blow off the excess. A light coating is all that is required.
It is not removed at a later stage.
This series has focused on Pereskiopsis grafts however the methods can be broadly applied across a variety of stock & scion combinations.

You don't find they root quicker if lightly buried in dry, super aerated soil? I like to run in 75% perlite 30%soil and don't pack the soil too tightly around it. I've found using H3 rooting hormone and planting in dry soil is the most sure fire way. Still, occasionally you'll run into a stubborn plant that takes 6 months or longer to root. I just pull them up every month, and as soon as I see even 1 tiny root, I plant it in it's permanent soil which is more like 50% perlite 20% Worm Castings 30% soil. I feel like if I leave cuttings out to root it takes longer, especially if laying on its side and not standing upright. H3 rooting hormone is a blessing though. Apply on freshly cut butt, wait a month to let it absorb and also the plant callus. After a month Plant in aerated soil and if it's grow season put it in a place it get's some sunlight. If you start seeing New Growth on the tip that's a good sign the roots are there when you check. I don't water the plants at all until I see roots.

i find that all degrafts turn orange on the inside dry hard orange i assumed it was rot. cut a gymno in half to see what it was, its just scabbing. not sure why its orange but its only skin deep also i love your mix, mine is 100% inorganic with osmocote. .. also question is it okay to just fill the area around the roots with the same potting mix rather than the coco?

@87walker 3 жыл бұрын

The issue you might face is that if the soil mix doesn't wick effectively then water might not reach the newly forming roots. Can't hurt to try though, the roots will eventually work their way into the substrate. Happy Gardening!

My cactus blew over last night and the one and only arm must have taken the impact of the fall. It’s broken but not broken all the way through, enough for it to hang down. I don’t want to cut it off but not sure if it’s salvageable. I’ve googled my life away tonight but can’t find a solution.. do you have any advice? Thank you!

Can you maybe make a graft timeline video? Like how many years you can let it grow on graft and deferent from high graft and low graft and some of the graft i see are allmost only roots grafted on or vary low stuck.

How long from degrafting until they have a decent root system, on par with a seed grown plant of that age? Cheers

@87walker Жыл бұрын

Depends on the species anywhere from 1-5 years. The slower growing ones take longer, Ariocarpus wont have a good system for at least 12-24 months often longer.

Any trouble with mites? Any nice cacti I get eventually get smashed by mites.

@87walker Жыл бұрын

Better to use preventative measures for mites, a sulphur based product will knock them out quite quickly but pay attention to the repeat application time frame (on the bottle) to ensure an effective treatment. Best of luck and Happy Gardening!

My LW graft has rotted. Is there anyway I can save it?

@87walker 5 ай бұрын

Potentially. Start cutting away the rot until you find tissue that isn't infected with rot. Check out my latest de-grafting video, might be some useful info in there.

Hello :) can Ariocarpus and lophophora root and survive after degraft? they wont grow a taproot i guess? Best regards from Denmark :)

@87walker Жыл бұрын

Hello! Yes both can be degrafted. Lophophora is very easy to de-graft, Ariocarpus is more difficult. They do re-grow tap roots but not single ones like seed grown, the roots will be more fibrous in nature but that does make growing them easier as they are less rot prone.

Hi I wounding if you are able to help I am in Tasmania and I am after some information about joining a cactus society I am unable to go to meetings but would like to access the information I am hoping you can help kaye nicholls

@87walker 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Kaye, So sorry it's taken me this long to reply. I am not sure if there are C&S societies in Tasmania but I am a member of the CSSA which is the oldest cactus & succulent society in Australia. CSSA welcomes members from all around the country. Meetings are mostly over zoom due to the current climate so you would be able to attend meetings virtually. Happy Gardening!
