Update on Loph. Graft

It's been a few months since I updated, and I promised to keep updating you guys so here are the pics of the Loph. grafted to the areole.
This pic is right after I grafted it on August 29, 2005:

Here the graft is as of march 17, 2006:




It's not growing that fast but I'm happy with it non the less. Seems to grow 1-2 more areoles per week. Soon I'm going to try some pereskiopsis grafting.

Looks good.
Question though. What gives it the special time travel ability?

very good! but... wouldn't be interesting to cut the tip of the rootstock in order to redirect growth to the areoles?

I've already cut the tip and all the areoles. Although you cant see it in the pics I posted.

llama - time travel ability? I was just showing a pic of when it was first grafted and how it looks now, to give you an idea of how much it has grown.

Oh, now I get it. Sorry guys/gals (I was in an altered state of mind when I made the post ). I'll edit that. I noticed today that the Loph. has a new tiny little areole growing from the center. I'm hoping that the growth of the Loph. will speed up once I transplant the stock plant into a bigger pot and give it some ferts. I've just been giving it Ironite the past couple months.

I do suggest cutting the growing tip as well. Seems like it is going very well, though pretty slowly.
Good job.

Koala - I cut the growth tip off a few months ago, although you cant see it in the pictures. I also cut off all the areoles so that no off-shoots would develop and inhibit the growth of the scion. I've only been fertilizing with Ironite, so that probably has something to do with the slow growth. Once the weather warms up a bit more I'm going to transplant it to a larger container and give it a mild dose of cactus fertilizer. Hopefully that will speed up the growth a little bit more.
