grafting on new/old growth of pereskiopsis
    #22237330 - 09/14/15 03:58 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

hi, im just curious to know how many of you find success grafting onto a more aged/lower part of pereskiopsis stock, because it may work with scion larger than a super baby seedling?

i want to graft a willy offset (still only bursting through) onto pereskiopsis and i want to use a thicker part of the stock to place it on

the only reason i havent tried it much is because everyone says its best to stay near the top to increase chance of fusing vascular rings

I wouldnt even bother if the cut wasn't tender and supple
My experience, it just doesn't work.

I've cut back 3 inches from the top without trouble grafting however this is on larger pereskiopsis that are thick and over 8 inches tall. The thick growth is different from old growth. Old growth is quite woody when cut and you will tell the difference. I always add some mucus from the leaves to help grafting.

Growing in lots of sun helps thicken them up and a large root system as well.

I'm VERY from from a grafting expert, but what I have found that finally started working for me was that it is better to try to have a diameter peres that closely matches the diameter of whatever you are trying to graft....

That being said, supple growth is definitely what you want (from what I understand). But no matter what size you use, a good root system is a must.

'Then', said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'

ive only used peres to graft very small offsets or seedlings so they weere always close to the same diameter (or toothpick diameter...)




also, i have a few buttons from some real small caespitosa cuttings which i think i will graft onto pilos right now.

they have been sitting for week or so because i removed from containers to desk with pests, so the buttons themselves sre not very plump, but im thinking it shouldnt be a problem.
have you experienced difficulties grwfting when the scion is not totally plump from recent watering?
