Soggy loph
    #18981411 - 10/15/13 01:43 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I have a loph that's getting a little soggy while in the process of rooting ontop of kitty litter. This should be normal; correct ? It has been there for 3 days and there is no sign of roots , just turning softer.

Should I take it out of kitty litter and place on top of my counter

P.s the brand of litter is "kitty diggins" for sensitive cats

I love diggin in kitties of sensitive cats with soggy lophs...


I can't be of much help though, I've bought a couple of already rooted baby lophs and have never rooted one myself. I wish you the best of luck turning it into a happy chap.

Thanks for the response. From what I read the loph becomes soggy right before it begins to shoot roots. I could be wrong , that's why I posted to make sure.

By "soggy" do you mean soft? It's normal, it'll plump up once it has functional roots - something that will happen in a matter of weeks, not days. :wink:
Pulling it out of the medium to check for roots won't help either. Let it be for a couple of weeks before re-checking.

If I was thinking of better words  to type at the time "soft" would have came to my mind.  Sorry for the confusing choice of words.

Now that I know all is good I have placed them beneath my dresser where they will be forgotten about until November 1st. .

My cereal is soggy , not the cactus  Yes the cactus is soft , but only on one  side.

Thanks for the help

Its normal mate!:thumbup:

They soften up when they lose water, it will plumped up when it starts to hydrate again!
That would be after some roots emerge and you water it, dont be afraid if you see the roots bat is still soft, it needs water to plumped again.
When cacti become dormant they have the same appearance.

Let it be for a month, see for roots after that and if they start growing repot it in a more permanent soil mix,
after a couple of weeks (from repotting) start slowly to give it some water from below to encourage the roots to come down.
In a matter of days, it will be plumped up!:smile:

The permanent mixture I will be using is going to consist of
1 part baked molar mixed with natural dirt
1part dolomite lime
1part bentonite clay
A few volcanic rocks
A little bit of miracal grow soil towards the bottom

I have degrafted my graft because the pereskiopsis appeared to be getting soft and there was no color remaining in the stock. The stock was stuck pretty deep int the loph but i managed to cleanly cut the entire stem out using a razor wiped  with 70%isopropyl . at the end leaving a clean little hole where the stem once was.  The degraft is on my window seal where it will remain for 3 weeks. Unless I should put it Infront of a fan

IME degrafting can be somewhat of a crapshoot. Last fall I degrafted about 100 peyote grafts from pereskiopsis, and some still haven't rooted while others of roughly the same size had great root formation in the same conditions. This make me think that some individuals are just genetically predisposed to root easily, and others just aren't. Regrafting to something like Trichocereus seems more reliable.

It's a personal call, but pedro regrafts definitely seem to be better for continued mass increase from what I've seen. Re-rooting is nice for recreating a natural look, at least above ground.

I definitely would not take lack of roots so far to be a sign that anything is wrong though, just saying that a sizable percentage have a lot of trouble rooting in my experience.
