Trichocereus Grafting Experiments

[@RancidRobott]

Great job Buddy!! Been doing alot of grafting myself, just saw new growth on my TBM on 3 of the Areols 🔥

[@liorsilverstein9802]

nice long cacti Kurt, you are blessed with all your plants

[@blackpuddingeater]

Hey man, nice experiment. Thanks for sharing it! I wonder what happenes to the little bottom parts of seedlings that you cut scions from? Do they start pupping or dies off?

[@CurtsCactus]

They survive, they pup and continue to grow.

[@blackpuddingeater]

@CurtsCactus Hey man, it's probably nonsense, but have you tried to graft 2 or 3 scions onto one rootstock?

[@CurtsCactus]

@@blackpuddingeater no I have not and probably never will unless purely for an experiment haha can't see any benefit to it unless it's the one root stock and maybe 4 pups then graft 4 scions to 4 pups with 1 big root system.

[@blackpuddingeater]

@CurtsCactus makes sense, my thinking was, that one rootstock can provide more than enough energy for one scion. How cool would it be to grow 3 or 4 different Trichs on one rootstock.

[@blackpuddingeater]

@CurtsCactus do experiment man :) you have plenty of resources. I'm only joking, it's just I thought I had.

[@drakeweddner]

Taper the sides of the root stock when it dries it has a tendency to curl up and push the graft off

[@CurtsCactus]

@@drakeweddner yea I will do it on bigger grafts but not bothered with these smaller ones they don't really reach the edge.

[@drakeweddner]

@@CurtsCactus i figured you knew what you were doing you have a million cacti , I just thought maybe you were brand new to grafting

[@CurtsCactus]

@@drakeweddner well I mean I am new to grafting haha so I know I'm not doing the best way and probably should be cutting the corners but Im lazy 🦥 haha thanks.

[@drakeweddner]

@@CurtsCactus in my opinion the absolute easiest way to graft them is as a slab using rubber bands kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYi7dHawoteakLMsi=OOgSWwgbM9IAobHl Your jar method was pretty cool though I'll have to try that out

[@TrustTheThorn]

Yo whats up Curt, Much love. How long do you wait until you check to see if the graft has mended a union? How many days do you wait before you remove the grafting tape and check if it is secure. Thanks! -JC

[@CurtsCactus]

One week I usually take off the tape and I'm never really sure until it swells up so around 3 weeks to be sure.

[@liorsilverstein9802]

my first grafts were using threads and were a pain in the A lol, good video.

[@daan1966]

I've just made my first graft with the jar method!

[@CurtsCactus]

Oh how awesome! Haha

[@artinthesingularity-px4ss]

Jar method OP

[@GeorgeAthens69]

❤

[@liorsilverstein9802]

need some sulphur to stop the scion sinking, what do you think?

[@liorsilverstein9802]

lol this one I imagined 27:13
