Thinking about grafting Aztekium, any advice?
    #23948966 - 12/22/16 12:02 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

I'm not sure if I overwatered or what but one of my four ~6 year old Aztekium hintonii seedlings looks like it might be in trouble. It pulled right out of the soil, and there are no fibrous roots at all. The body of the cactus is still healthy looking. It's about a centimeter wide. I'm unsure what happened to it, but if it starts looking any worse I'll try to graft it onto hylocereus. I imagine these would be pretty tough to graft because of how hard and woody they are. Any advice/experience to share?

I've grafted seedlings and pups of both A. hintoni and A. ritteri. I would put as much pressure as I could (within reason, of course...), otherwise it's pretty straightforward. I graft to Pereskiopsis and Myrtillocactus though, don't know if it applies to Hylocereus.

You had success with aztekium on myrtillocactus? I've heard that hylocereus is best for slow-growing, hard-bodied plants like aztekium and ariocarpus.

If your plants are on the way out, when you graft them be sure that they're white/green inside. I tried to graft an Aztekium only to discover all the heads on the plant were rotten on the inside :/.

Otherwise, I see no difference between a good size myrtillocactus and a hylocereus. Hylocereus is harder to graft onto in my experience, you need to root a fresh cutting and graft immediately before the tissue becomes woody. I've grafted to hylocereus with success with species like mammillaria, but even then the grafts took a while to get going.

I've grafted aztekium to pereskiopsis and trichocereus. They're a little woody and more difficult to graft than lophs, about the same if not more difficult than astrophytum. I've seen people graft aztekium onto astros which is kind of a cool idea, I may try it as an intermediary stock pereskiopsis>>astro>>aztekium to slow the growth down a tad so they don't pup too much.

I might even be able to graft it onto a super fat pereskiopsis. I hate grafting on hylocereus. I have a mammillaria plumosa that I grafted onto hylocereus last year that still hasn't started growing. It's still turgid and trying to root itself in something. The hylocereus was the previous season's growth so the hormones are probably still building up.

Yes, I have. This guy was re-grafted (from Pereskiopsis) in September and seems to be doing fine.

Beautiful hintonii. Mine has stalled on pereskiopsis at about pea size, might need to graft it to a better rootstock. The thrips and mites are brutal on my aztekium, they seem to destroy them even when I have all my other plants under control. I'm jealous at how flawless that one looks.
