There's like 5 more today. Must be some excellently viable ones ;D

I also received and sowed 40 more loph seeds today
Got Koehersii, Diffusa, Williamsii, and Decipiens

10 each. Also some more Pervuianus but I really don't think I need to sow them.

I also got some lithops I guess I should plant, become more than just a drug cactus grower.

I sowed some myriostygma seeds from my lone adult. The seed pod gave around 6. Went to check it and the top of the pod was flipped back like a zippo. Score! Threw them in with the lophs. Which of 2 lophs have popped up. Ill give them a day or 2 to plump them up.

Just used a real razor blade for a graft for the first time. What a game changer. The blade is so much thinner than my scalpel, it glides effortlessly and makes a perfect flat cut. I Feel like starting some more seeds to be honest.

Thanks for the video Applesmasher, it's great to get a look at how someone else does it. I think I might make a video as well. Also your grafts look great, I'm envious of how big your seedlings are already!

I use box cutter blades and the have yet to let me down. Gives my xacto a run for its money.

Requesting sources is against our rules, the best we can do is suggest you browse the sponsors. All Lophophora, seeds or plants, are forbidden from being traded on the shroomery, they are illegal under US law.

  • Source discussion/request is NOT allowed. In order to preserve both our sources and the Shroomery's sponsors. So please do not create threads, or post in others, specifically asking for sources. Even if your intent is for users to send you that info in a PM, it is still not permitted.

There is this thread Cactus Grafting Techniques Thread with some good tips and info, it could be resurrected and added to.

I'm sending you a razor blade to try , stubborn mule :wink:

It's not about it not working, obviously it's not hard to get a graft to hold, but it sure is nice when you can take a soft wrinkly scion and the blade glides effortlessly through it without pressing it into a shape. Or when you cut through a larger trich seedling and the razor blade goes right through the spines like they don't exist, makes you feel like a surgeon rather than a serial killer.

I had once heard about scalpels made out of obsidian, when it was told to me they said that it cuts in between the cells, rather than through them. A microscopy view of a metal blade vs obsidian makes it looks like you took a rusty saw and the obsidian is nice and smooth.

Of course I could never find any of this on google, I lied, here's the article, the comparison is actually a chainsaw but whatever.

it made me think it would be excellent (if not excessive) for grafting.

Yea they say stone tools (sharp like broken glass essentially, I believe) were far sharper than even our best blades.

You can make a decent cutting edge from the bottom of a glass bottle using some napping (not sure if that's the spelling) techniques like how cave men used to.

I found an arrow head when I was 19. But somehow lost it. I have a sneaking suspicion that my schizo brother thought that the Indian spirits wanted him to have it, then return them to the river. I found it in medicine hat, while I was working in the gas fields. 3500 year old arrow head. What a shame

If you're just getting your peres multiplying now, a great trick I was taught is to allow side shoots to grow right after you graft. Your peres will want to Bush out, and a lot of walk throughs will say to cut these off, but I've gone from 18 peres to about 170 in 3 - 3.5 months, while making 80'ish grafts. One peres freshly grafted can throw out 3 shoots, but mostly 2 is common.
 

And now I have about 195 of these guys. I never realized just how fast people meant when they said "you'll have lots in no time" .

The only warning I would say is if your scion is really close to a node, a shoot may grow and possibly push of your scion. I usually just cut the node right off, a little corner cut, if the scion is too close. It doesn't seem to grow shoots where you amputate it's leaf and glochid node.

My wife challenged me on my 195 guess, fair enough. I counted 240 pereskiopsis, 95 of them are grafts, and I got the original 18 January 1st. So 3 months and 12 days, the peres collection has grown by 1,333 percent.

I also have a deal made with a plant shop. Call it serendipity, I was in buying flowers for my wife's birthday, and she started talking about cacti, and how she gets calls for "San pedro" cacti. My ears perked

Anyway, a peres collection can grow very very quickly, don't worry about running out of stock
