I agree! Hence why I dont use it. I see a lot of others using it though. This vids from my first attempt from last year. This year I did without cling wrap and just in a bin a with bowl of water and much higher success rate
I saw someone who grafted trichocereus on pereskiopsis and got about 4 years growth in the 6 month growing season. I handle almost EVERYTHING without gloves but can't do pereskiopsis and trichocereus spachiana. Everything else, my hands are like a cows ass.
Thanks , have another question. If the seedlings is a little too large for the rootstock scion say the seedling is 2 to 3 months old ..is it still ok to graft it on the Pereskiopsis ?
you should be able to, they make great long term grafts, but search the internet. i think there's a resource that goes through the difficult and tricks for grafting different material.
Just fyi to maybe save you some time the bottom of the seedling won't grow if you graft it. They need an areole to grow from. I tried before and its kind of amazing how long you can make the bottom of the seedling live but they never grew for me. Had an approximately fist sized Echinopsis terscheckii next to its original bottom before and thought it was kinda funny. Anyhow best luck with your plants! 🙏 🪴 🌱 🌿 🌾 🌵
Man, I don’t mean to be that guy. But cling wrap sucks. Use a clear container with a gasket. It does NOT need pressure

@@btengu Did you use any ventilation in the bin or was it completely enclosed? :)
@@l1ndstrom this year I have some really tiny holes to help with standing water and a heat mat set 83 f has made things more consistent for me.
I would have never imagined you could graft something so small. Thanks man!
Absolutely, maybe even smaller!
Kinda common. People do it with peyote. Here in my state of Australia they're legal and I bought 2 like that from someone.
Wow it really grew so much in just a year! 😳👏🏼
great. I have some Ariocarpus seeds on the way. I will have to try this. thanks.
You mentioned using 2 part sand for the germinating, is there a name brand or company for the sand you use?
Hi! I just use sand from a pet store for aquariums but I don't think it matters much. Wherever is cheapest! And doesn't have additional additives
Sand is sand
Is it possible to slab graft an ario?

Hi , thanks for the video. I’m just wondering when the ariocarpus grows big would this root stock be able to support it?
No problem, yeh I have some that are super big and root stock is strong enough even though it's small.

@@andrewtanjk1 not sure that works. Usually the thing you graft on has to be smaller in all the videos I have seen
Can I graft seedling this small onto columnar cacti

I've actually had some success from the bottom grown ones. Some never grew but lived and others have grown. I guess it depends on where it was cut.
