Grafting Aztekium

Posted by thefof NSW Aust (My Page) on

Hi all

I have a goodly batch of Aztekium hintonii seedlings, which, at the moment, closely resemble minute green peas!

Come the spring I would like to graft some of them, the rest will stay on their own roots. The most obvious choice of stock would be Pereskiopsis, but these seem hard to find. Harrisia has been suggested, but I am concerned that it may be too vigorous.

Does any one have
a) Pereskiopsis I can get my grubby mitts on
b) Suggestions for an alternative stock, which will NOT cause the seedlings to clump, bloat or grow too abnormally.

I also have Toumeya paprycantha seeds, 1/2 of which will be grafted, once they germinate.

I am also looking for Blossfeldia plants if anyone has them!!!!!!!!!

LOL

I have some Pereskiopsis, but it depends how bad you want it... You mentioned in the pumice thread about the shipment Hamilton's recieved and I am very interested in this. How about you send me down a whole bunch (which I will pay for) and I'll send you up a Pereskiopsis in return for your troubles? Do you know how big and how much the bags are?

Cheers!
Jon
