Strategy for grafting Myrtillocalycium cutting by CurtisMarauderZ grafting plants 2 Comments CurtisMarauderZ 3 weeks ago I’ve got this thing coming in the mail later this week, but I could use some advice for where to cut and what to put each piece on.I have three large plants I can use as rootstock, plus a handful of smaller columnar cacs and some pereskiopsis.Grandiflorus* Pros: heckin big and has active growth * Cons: not very water resistantMyrtillocactus* Pros: more compatible with scion * Cons: smaller, recently repotted, no growth in the last six monthsSan Pedro (an old photo. Currently has a two-inch-wide pup with a moon cactus scion, but I was planning to remove the pup anyway)* Pros: big and well established, actively growing * Been a stump for many months. Vascular tissue at the top might be atrophied. Deathed_Potato 3 weeks ago I tried to chop up a polyp and tried five grafts on a four inch pup. All failed.I would safe bet and get it on myrtillo and then start playing with cuttings once it takes.Write A CommentYou must be logged in to post a comment.
