Grafting My Trichocereus : ]
    #14417419 - 05/07/11 11:52 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I love cacti, and have become especially addicted to collecting trichocereus. Not too long ago, I found 4 10" San Pedro pups that were bunched in two couples for $30 total. I have two 25+ year old Backberg San Pedros, but I was very determined to add these to the garden because they were defiantly the non-PC, authentic Trichocereus Pachanoi. They were practically twice the diameter of the fattest Backberg at their 10" age and took on slightly bigger spikes and a brighter hue. As a test for potency, I cut down one set of the seedlings down leaving me with 2" cacti stumps to recover and 16"+ of especially fat, San Pedro. Lets just say it did very little. Less of a mindfuck and overall psychedelia than a backberg lengthwise ; the hallucinations were more delirious than psychedelic (I kept seeing giant spiders climbing on my window while standing outside to smoke a bowl)and I felt very sedated instead of hyper like I was on my last two cacti experiences (made with backberg).


Anyways, from Ebay, I just bought a 10" Peruvian Torch x Bridgesii Hybrid. It looks like a typical San Pedro, except it has longer thorns & variation, is a bit fatter and a lot darker green/blue. The core is about the size of my Pedro stump! Since the stumps are well developed in their pot root-wise, and its a fast growing variety I needed some input. It seems like a good idea to cut my current hybrid cutting in half and take a bit off of the bottom half then graft them onto the San Pedro stumps. Any suggestions? I'll post pictures tomorrow... all help would be appreciated! I have never grafted before but I'm very aware how it works. I especially don't want to loose my only cutting of this beautiful (and incredibly potent) variety.

do a search on this forum for areole grafting.  It's a bit harder than a standard graft but you won't have to chop the cutting in half.  I think the safest route would be to let the cutting root and wait for it to put out a pup, then graft the pup. In my experience peruvianus x bridgesii hybrids (at least the two I have) branch fairly readily.  Searching for cytokinin turns up a great thread on inducing pupping, it's definitely worth looking into.

just make sure to bevel the edges because when it dries and shrinks the skin stays the same size so the vascular rings will lose contact with each other.
