what is that long stock called on the graft in 2:57

[DRCEVNL]

@HabaneroChilipepper That is Pereskiopsis, probably velutina. You find more about grafting on this type of stock in one of the other movies (Grafting on Pereskiopsis)

@DRCEVNL how important crossing vascular bundles is? The same goes for 'big' scions and seedlings or not? Thanks :)

[DRCEVNL]

@AnTTunTT Hi. Big scions well have a pretty large circle of vascular bundles and they will always cross the vascular budles of the opuntia pad. The vascular bundle of the opuntia pad is running next to the epidermis and is easy visible. Seedlins are placed at the edge of the opuntia pad so they will more or less with their center right on the vascular bundels of the opuntia pad.

@DRCEVNL I tried this method (too) with mixed cuccess. I like idea of having strong stock that I can graft more than just one scion onto but... First try didn't take at all, opuntia's middle sucked in. Next time I put it in wet container that I use for pereskiopsis grafts and it did better. I planted it after roots sprouted but it took 3-4 weeks before it started sucking water and few scions died. Will keep on trying, I'm probably doing something wrong... Thank you for another excellent video.

@11Kiizu i once have bought a piece at the ELK in Belgium. They grow very fast once grafted. Some pieces make one headed sprouts. These can be grafted and look like normal plants of Toumeya payracanthe and do flower. I did not test whether the seeds give new cristates.

@DRCEVNL Thanks for answering! Do you now were i could find toumeya papyracantha, i have searched cristatas from everywere at mesagarden and succseed but there isnt cristatas seeds :(

[DRCEVNL]

@11Kiizu Hi, the first one (white button) is Epithelantha bokei. The second one is Toumeya papyracantha cristata. The last one is so quick growing that it can 'eat' the opuntia stock

[11Kiizu]
