How to graft cactus seedlings - Eriosyce




Category: How to... | Posted: Sat Oct 24, 2009 4:15 pm

This is a followup on "How to graft cactus seedlings" and show the result on another species and genus.

I started of with seeds that I planted 2009-04-16.
Eriosyce odieri FK 804


About 3 month later they looked like this.


I picked out 3 seedlings and let the rest keep on growing in the pot. I grafted them and one of them looked like this when it was newly made.


--------------

3 more month has now passed by and the seedlings still in the pot looks like this.


But the grafted one is a little bigger.


All three of them looks like this with a black background.




And one made some pups as well.


It worked well with all three of them this time...

It looks so alien, good grafting Christer. Grafting always amazes me because two separate living things can become one. Wonderful.
