p.s. i have a LARGE cacti of some sort in my back yard that i want to take cuttings and grow myself...do all cacti crow the same? can i use the same tek for cutting and planting a san pedro?

cool! good to know. i bought those from home depot, of all places. i saw them out of the corner of my eye, and snagged em up quick!
i wasnt sure if they were seperate, but now ill re-pot them.
my huge cactus in the back, can i graft things to it like my pedros, or maybe lophs?

yeah as long as the spot your grafting too isn't too old and woody at the core. pick a spot of newer growth at the top. if it is a huge cactus then it could make your Pedros grow quick. I think it would make lophs grow too fast but I am not sure.

if my san pedros are about as fat as a soda can, how many loph's can i graft on a cut? and do i do the same thing when i cut the pedros as i would for a pereskopsis(sp?) and cut one inch off the top, (or "below" the top)?

well anyway, heres some more pics of just stuff
the big cactus is the one that ive been mentioning throughout this thread. can i ask for an i.d. in this thread or will i get in trouble for that?
the smaller cacti are the same genus...of which i dont know either. they were growing near the large one.
the flowers are on the large one.
and a Chirimoya...i got it from a cuban friend, anyone know what it is? now i know theres many grafting teks i can look up, but one that might not give such a straight answer to my next question, so Royer9864[M], please bare with me...
the little cacti that i have are growing very rapidly, could they be used to graft onto?

Go ahead and ask!

It can be used. If I'm not mistaken pretty much any fast growing cacti is suited as grafting-stock.

that big beast in your garden looks like it would make a good grafting stock also... not sure wot it is though, perhaps within the genus cereus

ok, that narrowed it down a little for you brains....for me, none. haha well heres a little update (with more pics of course!!!)
i got two 3 new little cacti, unsure of what they are(any guess'), the two in the same pot i grabbed cuz they look kinda like pedros, the lil fatty i got cuz my girlfriend liked it...
the picture of the one cut, is new growth from the behemouth(sp?) in the pics b4, im drying it out now to try and re-pot it soon. its just soooo humid and rainy in FL that i dont know if itll ever dry out.
SWEET:that all my cacti are graft-able-onto-able!!!
ill shut up, and heres some pics

might prefer it warmer... my room runs at 90-95f and they grow quite quickly... no way as fast as the trichos, but by no means a slow grower...
