Grafting can seem daunting at first however after some time you gain confidence and the results are just incredible, at times it's almost likely your watching a cactus grow live thing happen than quickly. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!

I am really motivated to try. The idea of taking a cactus that is vulnerable to rot at the base and combining it with a strong root stock sounds really good. ^^

Thank you, very informative. I am inquiring if in thd event can you separate them again and plant the upper portion direct to the soil??

@87walker 6 жыл бұрын

Glad you liked the video! Yes these plants can be separated and then the top portion treated like a cutting where it will produce roots and grow again on its own. Not all cacti can be degrafted as many that are grafted do not produce chlorophyll, the yellow and red "moon cactus" are examples of this. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!

@requiredfieldcannotbeleftb9746 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, I've got some cacti I've grown from seed so they're still less than 1cm wide. If I graft them together at this stage, will the rootstock continue to grow larger and additional roots, supporting the scion as that also grows? Or is it necessary to use a much more mature rootstock?

Why do they fail if the vascular tubes line up?

@hamadibenzarti Жыл бұрын

Of course the basic cactus must be with roots! How long should the tape be left on before removing it? .

@darwincaronan 6 жыл бұрын

What to do if the central vascular cambium is dissimilar? Let us say, the scion has small diameter of vascular and the root stock has big diameter. Is there a chance of success? Thank you

@87walker 6 жыл бұрын

Most of the time the scion will have a much smaller vascular ring, you just need to ensure this overlaps the stocks ring. You want them to cross each other not line up. Think of the olympic rings, that is what you are after. Hope that helps! Happy Gardening!

@lowe-quay-shush Жыл бұрын

The 'Blanket' technique is exactly what I need to do when attaching & not damaging the bottom part because it has rows of vertically needles around it. I also heard putting a small circular piece of cling wrap then using kitchen cooking string to gently close it up on just the top 1/3 of grafting is good for shock/germ protection/incubation curing & dry out trauma Kinda like an oxygen tent over the hospital bed! True?

@ToddBabs 6 жыл бұрын

Does the part 2 cactus go into a humid box also or only pereskiopsis as the root stock?

@87walker 6 жыл бұрын

I put the part 2 in a humidity box but only for 5 days, just to prevent the cut surfaces of the stock plant shrinking too rapidly. You don't have to put part 2 grafts in a humidity box but Pereskiopsis must be. Happy Gardening!

Hi, I leave the tape on for 7-10 days this will depend on whether the cut tissue of the grafting stock is healthy or if there are nasties appearing which can happen even with proper sterilization of the blades. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!

@87walker 6 жыл бұрын

Most cacti will take to any other cacti - some work better than others and there are a few which can be difficult to get to take to certain types however these are few and far between. The best all rounder is Trichocereus Pachanoi followed by Myrtillocactus Geometrizans. Hope that helps, Happy Gardening!

This is evil

@87walker 6 жыл бұрын

Not sure I agree. From cutting this plant 2 things are achieved: 1) it almost eliminates the chance of the top portion rotting and dying enabling this plant to grow into a magnificent cactus 2) the base will produce more plants. Grafting is not exclusively performed on cacti, if you have ever eaten an apple, pear, orange and the list would go on and on then it is almost certain that the fruit would have come from a grafted tree. I have nothing but respect and admiration for cacti and all plants for that matter, to say it is evil is not a very kind thing to say at all. Regardless of that, I hope you have a great week ahead.

@jimywebb23 5 жыл бұрын

evil? the plants dont mind if you know what youre doing, and mr. 87walker def knows his procedure, it can be hard the first time you try it, but it really can save plants from root rot and like he said speeding up the growth of slow growers. keep an open mind, ppl that do this most likely love their plants and consider what theyre doing before making any cuts
