Another easy grafting demonstration

[Wakinyan]

Grafting made so simple even I can do it. Hope everyone enjoys this short video. The scion is Trichocereus scopulicola x T. terscheckii.:twisted:

That elevates grafting to a work of art. Thanks for the link.

If you liked that one... here is another short video with a crested variegated pachanoi being grafted.

I usually cut all or most of the spines off my cacti before propagating and/or grafting, so I probably could not use this method, but I do find it fascinating and simple.

Spines simply make it faster to graft using this method. However, one can simply place the string in a circle around the base of the cacti and then insert the string under the ring each time. Simple enough....8)

More grafting... scopulicola x terscheckii scion on 42 the answer to everything stock.

Finally starting to plump up a bit.

Here's some shots of my extant grafting experiments - nothing fancy, just a proof of concept to myself - especially the one with the 1cm slice. These are all 4 or 5 years old at least.

Very nice downwardsfromzero. Thanks for sharing. How much time has elapsed since you did most of those well grown out grafts?

Missed this question while busy doing other things.

I think the oldest of the grafts is maybe five or six years. I didn't take notes but could possibly find out by digging through my photo collection.
