Exactly what i need right now, just received a degrafted cactus! Thank you!
I love your use of the egg carton and vermiculite. great video thank you.
Thanks derris 🎀💝💕😊
Thanks for sharing I didn’t even know this was possible 🌵
Any luck growing them ???
First thank you so much for the wonderful videos. I think you've inspired me to finally try some rooting techniques. I agree, your videos are very straight forward, relaxing, and your a good narrator 👍
Question: I noticed you used akadama for growing roots on pups in another video. Do you specifically use vermiculite when rooting degraft cactus?; no mixing of root powder to gel as well? I think you are trying to avoid ANY additional moisture, correct?
Thank you . Very informative 👏
No need to wait for the wound to dry first?
Very nice vedio well done 👍 good information 👍
Thanks! ❤
So that is how it is done! Thanks for teaching us. 😃
Thanks Ana 😊
This video really helpful.
Thank you for this video 😊
I Love your channel make more grafting and degrafting videos!!!!
Great to hear that! Sure i will amd thanks 😀
Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much
Very nice. I know these types can live quite happily on their own roots, a few I have are doing just fine. Nice to hear your voice in the video too, you should talk in your videos more often 😊👍🏻🌵☀️
Thanks Bro! Your the Best! 😄
What do you feed this cactus what fertilizer because i read that they cant produce their own food... please tell me how can i grow them separately without grafting
Some say that it needs chlorophyll to survive, chlorophyll is green and this is pink, so how is this possible to survive without it?
@@Financial_Freedom_Tv_ Ones that are dark purple also contain chlorophyll, not much, but enough to sustain it and are able to produce and grow on their own roots. The ones you typically see that are completely pink, red or yellow and grafted onto dragon fruit (moon cactus) cannot survive without being grafted.
@@Financial_Freedom_Tv_It has purple on it so it’s fine.
Hi, have you try using cinamon powder as rooting powder?
Hi, very nice video, can you tell me the min. max temperature in centigrade please-
I have heard the bright pink, yellow and lighter color cactus won't live long after de grafting, because they have no chlorophyll and can't photosynthesize. The darker purple color ones have some chlorophyll and can survive. This is why they are grafted onto the dragon fruit root stock.
Yes me as well!
@@ElenaKomleva You have a funny bald Arthur Elena. I hope he is warm.
I am a beginner in gardening, please indicate where do the moon cactii originate?
@@dalipsingh4483 from side pups that are grafted on to new root stock.
Your pet Arthur is funny.
May i know is it doing well now? Will it grow bigger?
i have full color pink, red, and two tone orange yellow and rubra color if i do this will it survived without rootstock? Please reply thanks :)
Hi , may I know the reason for degrafting? Is eat for aesthetic reasons?
斑錦落地 葉綠素少 可以進行光合作用嗎？落地不用那麼麻煩。
What is the other method to do if there is no rooting powder and vermiculite
Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
that is special surgery. you've done the degrafting very well, a master of the art. they look like little birthday cakes in the egg carton. i hope they all take... carmine.
Thanks Carmine! An egg tray of cactus 😄💕💕💕
Amazing, very nice to rooting them again 👍
all good thank you
Thanks!
I dont have rooting powder... what should i do?
Thanks for insightful video.
I was wondering if you have advice about my moon cactus. I have had it since May but noticed it was taking a long time for the soil to get dry so I waited about a month till it was fully dry before I watered it again. I didn’t realize it was too much as it had root rot. I cut off the blackening parts so only a very small section of cactus is left; the top orange scion is fine for now but will not survive without being grafted to another cactus. Can I use any cactus like the
Stenocereus Pruinsus Cactus or mini cactus to graft the Scion for moon cactus? I already have the mini cactus. Or would you recommend another cactus or can I keep the original cactus in the soil though it has been substantially cut with only a tiny bit of root left?
They actually need very little water. I just watered mine a tiny bit last night, haven't watered for 4 months too. You also want to make sure the soil is dry before repotting
@@ChristopherTradeshow thanks. How do you know it needs water? Soil seems to get dry every week during summer and longer during fall. I waited a month to water since it was fall but ended up giving it too much water (though it didn’t seem like a ton at the time as i didn’t realize it would take longer to dry out with less sunshine during fall). I use a special succulent mix and there is hole in pot. Next time I graft it to a new cactus I will water very little. The tricky part is when do I know it’s time to water since it will for sure be dry after a month or even sooner.
@@cricketjem119 id google signs cactus need water. You could get a moisture meter, dont water til it is completely dried. Maybe try letting it dry, and water frkm the bottom instead. Succulents benefit from this. They only take uo the water theu will use. Just fill a small basin of water nad place the pot in for 10 15 min you will see the water go down a lot, and the top of the soil will not get wet. If you dont have a moisture meter, my pots with drainage holes big enough i poke my finger thrj the botto. And see how dry it is down there. If its moist at the bottom of the pot, wait. If you arent sure if its dry enough, wait. Always reer on the side of underwatering, because its a lot easier to add more water than to save an overwatered plant
I sliced bottom of the Moon- just flat enough to sit on top of green cactus part. (I thought better to see/match the round spots on both cactuses. Read no rooting powder necessary.) Will it propogate?
Did it worked?
Donde consigo la vermiculita x favor hago para comprarla
Is this easy enough for beginners? I only have one cactus and i don't want to ruin it. Also does this work with the babies that grow on them or only the big one?
For babies, u can try this method
th-cam.com/video/AhnGXXt2pLY/w-d-xo.html
Out of interest do you water the vermiculite to encourage root growth or leave it dry?
always dry before roots or it will rot
Do we mist or water them after placing in vermiculite? Also how long on average before they root?
no never water cuttings that dont have roots yet or it will rot
Can i do this for small pups grown from the bigger cactus? And for pink / red moon cactuses?
Full pink and red might be risky. With purple might have bigger chance of rooting 👍🏻
Cactaceae Review thanks!! will try with the purple ones!
nice thx
Reviewing your video as I’m about to do this in one of my cactus, now.
Great! Good luck! 😊😊😊
Please let us know if this works and how you cared for it. I want to try this, but I'm concerned about my own inexperience with cacti. I would hate to kill it.
@@CactaceaeReview uh.
Did the lower right cactus rot? since it's color darker than others
It not rot. But dark purple 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We’re did you find that powder and mix and can you do it on a baby
How long you wait n till moved to a pod
Very informative video! I will try this soon. I have a question, can I do this degrafting and rooting method on a bigger cactus? Maybe 10cm? I have a sepia and been wanting to try but I am not confident that it would root.
Hi Rudi! U can try. Sepia is highly priced, a risk to take 👍🏻
Cactaceae Review I haven’t successfully rooted any pups this far. So I am a bit skeptic on successful degrafting of the mother plant.
@@BunCraze If the rootstock is ok, just let it grow as much as possible 👍🏻
can we use rooting gel? if yes do we also apply it immediately?
You can. But you need to follow the instuction of the rooting gel. 👍🏻
Hi they are beautiful. What are the chances off sending me pups or seeds to Cape Town, South Africa please?
can a pink moon cactus survive without root stock?
Full bright pink wont be able to survive. Try getting those with purple like the video. 👍🏼
Just dry Media?
can the pink pup grow its own roots?
I manage to roots those you seen in the video. Try to choose those with Pink and Purple combined. Not full pink 👍🏻
Why grafted in the first place?
How did the top cactus get so colorful?
After degrafting, will it stay colorful?
not all moon cactus can be grafted , also people usually graft to boost the growth rate of these variegated or slow growing cactus
Do you watering the vermiculite? Spray it or soak it?
No, Don't water it until the root grow or it will be rot
So many baby pink cactus on my moon cactus what can I do I grow Direct baby cactus???in a soil or cocopit
Graft
why did you do this?
I just impulse bought a variegated moon cactus (orange and pink) and it's sad to know I cant do this and have them survive due to lack of chlorophyll. I dont think I can propogate the plant pups regularly either. But at the same time my new plant buddy is soo pretty.
Just ensure it is grafted. U can pick up grafting skills too. It fun and interesting! Enjoy 😊
@@CactaceaeReview Wow I didnt expect a reply lol thanks. I'll have to pick up those grafting skills since I definitely want more of them in the same color pattern without going out and looking at more plants and impulse buying more lol. What kinds of plants should I look at to graft the cactus with?
@@raelyncurtis3562 most cactus species will work for grafting. The ones you buy like in this video are dragon fruit root stalk. I bought a dead moon cactus and grafted the top of part of another dragon fruit onto it. You can graft moon cactus onto other rooted dragon fruit stalk, pear cactus, or really any other cactus that can create its own chlorophyll to feed the moon cactus.
wow how are these doing? I've seen other videos where they say the scion can't live on its own without rootstock bc it can create chlorophyll for food??
Hello NC! They are doing great! Thanks! Check this out. I have an update here
th-cam.com/video/qFvecnALVmM/w-d-xo.html
It only works on purple or dark colored scions. Because they have a little chlorophyll in them.
The all red, all yellow and all whitish ones really don't have any Chlorophyll, so they all need the rootstock. But those with some greenish or purple marks and signal have some level of Chlorophyll, so it's possible they live on their own. If you get success to maintain them alive, congrats, their commercial value multiplies a lot!
haha
leonard powell is this true? I have a yellow one I’m trying to save from rot. Is it hopeless?
Hey! I've heard they can't survive on their own because they don't have chlorophyll, so... that's a lie?
Yes
Hello! I have an orange one, will I still be able to do this?
Hello, Full Orange won't be survive
Hi 😁 can ask if akadam is better than vermiculite to root these cacti
Yes
Buy the way did they root?
Yes they did! I have attached pics in the video. Check out 9:13 👍🏻
Can you use normal cactus soil instead of vermiculite
Give it a try Tacozila, just ensure it not too wet. 👍🏻
My yellow moon cactus have so many pups and I don't want to graft them with another plant 😓.. how can I plant them without killing it ? I'm scared that I might kill it if I grow it individually without grafting...
The only way is to graft them, they can't grow on their own because they don't produce chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the chemical that plants use to go through the cycle of photosynthesis.
How long do you let it root for before potting? And is there any special care for degrafted cactus compared to seed grown? Thanks in advance(:
I will repot them if the roots grow to about 0.5cm
Care wise no diff for me 👍🏻
Cactaceae Review Alright! Might try to degraft some. Thanks😁
Cactaceae Review after how many days does the roots grow upto 0.5cm, how do you check?

MERHABA Iyi akşamlar. Kaktüs çiçek açtığında daha güzel ve zarif oluyor . Meden kestiniz kaktüs çiçeğini ⚘🔔🎋🌵
did they root? i heard that those scions don't root or live on their own
No, this video is fake
What if i did not remove all the green stuff, will it still root?
It will be rot
Manda uma muda aqui para o Brasil 👊👊👊
What this id sir ? Gymno pink korea ?
Will it grow without rooting powder. Please tell me
Not necessary Samuel 👍🏻
I have yellow and red will they grow separately.. what can i do to feed them as they dont feed themselves
Is there any alternative of vermiculite...?
Regular cactus soil mix
Thank you I learn something new
I try my pink moon cacti i dont know if it will survive help please
No, you can't
Can a yellow orange cactus survive without root stock?
Those bright yellow orange moon cactus wont root. So dont degraft them. 😊
@@CactaceaeReview Thank you so much
@Cactaceae Review
What grafted moon cacti colours produce enough chlorophyll to de-graft them as individuals?
Dark red+black, Purple 👍🏻
@@CactaceaeReview (Edited) Asked about yellow/orange ones but just read your reply in another comment saying full yellow doesn't survive.
Another question, may I know when do you pot them after rooting started?
@@YeongshingCheah Both yellow and orange wont be able to root. Full bright pink and bright red too.
Normally after it root, u can pot them 👍🏻. Thanks!
@@CactaceaeReview Thanks for your kind reply!
Since the yellow will not survive on it's own, is there anything you can do with it, if you do not want to graft it to another cactus? The base on my yellow rotted so I am left with the yellow part. Thank you!
Glad to see you recycle!

Would a red/yellow/orange one be able to survive on it's own once degraphed?
Please help me save my plant 😭
No
Can this work with yellow moon cactus?
Hi Rachel, full yellow wont survive. 😊
Rachel Torres thank you for asking this question. I have a yellow one I was trying to save but I guess it’s hopeless. 😢
Cactaceae Review thanks for responding to Rachel’s question. Much appreciated.
What's the ID of this cactus
Did a moon cactus babies can live on its own root?
If they manage to root, likely they can survive. I have some doing really well 👍🏻

Do you watering the perlite?
They are vermiculite. Very light weight and will flow out if you water them. I just mist them occationally 👍🏻
@@CactaceaeReview thanks for your guidance
Do they keep the Color? Order wil ik revert?
These are rubras and they're naturally have this red wine color. So no it won't revert to green 😊
I think it difficult for me. You are so good !!!
Give it a try! Its fun 😊👍🏻
What is the powder applied into the cactus?
Those are rooting powder
@@CactaceaeReview can you tell the name of this powder and where can you get it?
I been so sad for the past week i had a gaint bunny ear cactus in a big pot and at the bottom there was succulent's hens and chicks i think
Anyway, the cactus took a fall becouse of a pesky cat and someone took the pot of hens and chicks and left a little slice of the cactus on the ground (when the cactus fell it busted into pieces)
And i been trying to save it it put off a pup but it wont grow it rooted but it wont grow it dont even look like a cactus anymore...
I have a pink moon cactus for about 6 months now and it's been beautiful to say the least. It started growing a pup a few weeks ago, now all of a sudden it started turning black on one side of it and when I touched it to see how bad it is, it started oozing clear liquid. Can you tell me what I'd wrong with it and how I can fix it?
This happens when you use too much of water.
I was told that the reds, yellow or orange scions cannot live on their own as they cannot use phosynthesis.
Can these degrafted cacti still photosynthesise by themselves once they root?
if they have a little bit of chlorophyll, they can
Nice and cute...
Thank you for sharing the kaktus farming
That's good idea..
Stay Connected too brother... 👌
Succes together. 🙏
Thanks Khai 😊
Every time I try that the cactus just dies. I don’t buy grafted cactus anymore. Anyways awesome video
What colour is yr cactus? Some dont root like full yellow or bright full pink
Yellow and reddish pink. I am trying green ones now because the bottom is not good anymore
,Que??? Ropme el injerto para hacer cactus??? Pata que los injertan entonces??
Could I do this with yellow moon cacti
No. Full yellow wont survive.
@@CactaceaeReview oh dang ok. I just took a cutting :(
@@CactaceaeReview what about red?
i read in the comments that it is harder if not impossible to root bright colored ones because of lack of chlorophyll, i'm wondering in those plants you could just leave some of the green root stock on it but make it really small then after it re-roots bury the green part so its not visible ... then no one would be the wiser and everyone would think that it was all by itself.
Thats why I choose these with purple. It works 😊. Not those 100% bright colours. You can try, but it defeats the purpose of "defraft" with we leave a small portion of the rootstock.
if the green is buried how does it produce clorophyll from the sun? I would guess no.
Can I put on growlight
Yes
I dont have vermiculite . Can i use acadama?
Yes you can Wanie 👍🏻
Tqvm. Will do now! Btw how long do u water the plants after placing the root powder?
th-cam.com/video/AhnGXXt2pLY/w-d-xo.html check this out. Im using akadama 😊
Tq 4 sharing .❤
Could i do this with Orange Moon Cactus🌵???
No
Can you use regular cactus soil?
Hmm.. I think you can use regular cactus soil. but maybe it would be better to use vermiculite
If you use regular cactus soil, Do not water or mist it until the root grow
Dos preguntas, para que haces eso, para que el injerto Heche mas hijos,?. Segunda, la vermiculita se riega inmediatamente o?. cuando
@@juanbotello5820 1. No, su función es separar el vástago del patrón y enraizarlo de nuevo para que el vástago pueda crecer sus propias raíces.
2. no regar antes de que crezcan las raíces se pudrirá.
should i water them or not
Don't
Nice one srr
What is the purpose of degrafting
Degraft could be
1. rootstock is not doing well and need to be removed.
2. Some people dislike the rootstock.
Have you tried rooting Hibotan Nishiki variety directly into the soil?
Yes, you can
no need to dry the cutting ah
I didnt. Of course u can dry them for a week or 2 to play safe 👍🏻👍🏻
One of the heads of my moon cactus came off. How do I save it without grafting it onto something else???
Anonymous 2357 what color is it? If it’s not dark purple it won’t survive( I think ). If it’s dark purple you can put it in some well draining dirt and it should grow roots! Good luck!
@@sadginger4924 that is good! It is dark purple
