I have 2 peyote i baught a few years ago they said they were 5 yaars old, they grew great in the greenhouse ( i live in the uk) but2 years ago i over watered them in the spring time and 1 of them is quite badly damaged on the lower part of the cactai the other is less damaged. I was wondering will the cactai out grow the damage or shall i cut the crown off and will it grow back again? The badly damaged 1 did flower but the other didnt flower yet. I would like them both to flower together so. I can cross pollinate them to get some seeds from them.the other day i searched through the fluff on the cactai and i was supprised to find plenty of seeds. 17 in 1 of them and 25 seeds in the other cactai and im propergating them in a heated propigator because they have not germinated without the it been turned on. So far i an see 2 seeds begining to grow, in growing them in coconut core, ill make sure ill let them dry out before misting them again. Please tell me if im going the coffect way of cultivating the seeds and what shall i go about the badly water damaged peyote?

The Texas peyoteros cut at the right spot for regrowth, but most of the Huichol cut as deep as possible or take whole plants.

Regarding taking care of grafted cacti, I water mine quite freely during the growing season (of course taking the amount of sun and the weather in general into account) - I always let my grafted plants dry out completely in between waterings. In my experience splitting is mainly a problem with smaller plants - on the positive side a grafted plant will soon outgrow any damages caused by this :-)lophophorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761323377202060305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9906682.post-57081338556628364202013-03-10T22:10:00.085+01:002013-03-10T22:10:00.085+01:00Hi!

I've been reading your blog from time to time since 2011, would be great to see the 8th anniversairy of the graft. Speaking of wich, do you have any advice for taking care of grafted cacti? I have grafted a caespitosa pup, 1/2 cm diameter on young thorny Trichocereus hybrid. How often should I water my friend so that it doesent crack?

As the majority of my Ariocarpi are growing in an unheated greenhouse (in rather cold Denmark) I have found it wiser to let the plants stay on their own roots. I once considered grafting seedlings onto Opuntia compressa stock plants (that are extremely freeze-hardy and allegedly should ensure a natural, "slow-growing" look) but never got around to it. My preferred grafting stock would be <a href="http://lophophora.blogspot.com/2013/02/flowering-san-pedro-cactus-trichocereus.html" rel="nofollow">Trichocereus pachanoi (San Pedro cactus)</a> or T. peruvianus (Peruvian Torch cactus) as they are fast growing, long-lived, and their sticky sap makes them easy to graft e.g. seedlings onto (seedlings grafted onto a Trichocereus pachanoi stock is also a wonderful example of applied laziness - you just graft the seedling and can sit back and relax, watching it grow for many, many years to come :-)<br /><br />As mentioned I like your approach of kick-starting (more or less, it seems) everything with your forest of Pereskiopsis - I've previously experimented with <a href="http://lophophora.blogspot.com/2005/04/seedling-grafting-on-pereskiopsis.html" rel="nofollow">Pereskiopsis spathulata as the grafting stock for peyote seedlings</a> but never really got the hang of it. That being said I still have a few Pereskiopsis plants growing so I might be inspired to take it up again :-)lophophorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761323377202060305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9906682.post-82355457849485235882013-02-23T06:34:51.593+01:002013-02-23T06:34:51.593+01:00I will keep you posted, though it might be a while...I will keep you posted, though it might be a while before I get to that stage (have I mentioned they are slow-growing? lol).

I have some Myrtillocactus and Hylocereus grafted to pereskiopsis as well as potential rootstocks..If you have any advice in this area it would be most appreciated.Thanks in advance.<br /><br />P.S.
