Anyone growing pereskia currently?

#16833992 - 09/12/12 10:25 AM (14 years, 28 days ago)

I ordered some Pereskia aculeata seeds months ago but the company was out of stock at the time, and today they finally arrived. I've read that they can be a very fast grafting stock for wedge or impale style techniques. Has anyone else here tried growing Pereskia species?

I recently received two Pereskia aculeata cuttings, they are now rooted and have started to push out leaves.
I wondered if it could be used for grafting, but I couldn't find anything conclusive. Most results were posts on forums where people wondered the same thing, but no one succeeded grafting to it.
Do you have any links to those grafting techniques?

This is where I was reading about it originally:
http://forum.auscactiforum.net/t1225-using-pereskia-species-as-grafting-stock

No pics there but the guy who's talking about it (Hanazono) seems to know his stuff based on his other threads there. It appears he's also a member at cactiguide. I don't have any good links with pictures on how to do wedge or impale grafts, but they should be pretty easy to find (I think I've seen some threads here.) Wedge is pretty simple, you make two angled cuts to the stock to make it pointed, then you make a matching notch in the bottom of the scion (which typically would be bigger in diameter than the stock.) It takes some practice to make the cuts match well so that the scion stays on and makes good contact. I haven't done that in while but it's good for taking a small chunk of trichocereus and turning it into a bigger cutting.

There's a related technique where the matched surfaces are conical but I haven't tried it, I think this is what's known as an impale graft. A while back a friend gave me a conical drill bit that's supposed to be for grafting trees, which has a taper that matches that of a standard pencil sharpener. His parents had bought it but they never ended up using it. i have not tried to make a graft with it yet but I thought it might work well with pereskia.

That's great, thank you!
I guess I might have Pereskia aculeata v godseffiana, I won't know for sure until it grows a bit more, and he says it's no good for grafting.
If it's not godseffiana, I will certainly try grafting to it next year!
