The mother plant are about 3 years old from seed, but I think it's more about how thick the stock is. I try to get them thicker and select the one that are around 10mm if I can. I guess the vascular ring becomes bigger if the stock is thickerAnTTun wrote:Christer, one question that might sound weird but I'll explain later: how old stock plants were?
I have a couple of selenicereus plants that I sowed this spring plus few cuttings I got from a friend. I cut few offsets but couldn't really see vascular ring. There was some tiny circle in the middle but I didn't dare to graft on that. I assumed they were too young to be good enough for grafting.

That's a matter of opinionAnTTun wrote:You're just making us envious
For me it's information and studies; Ariocarpus has no spines at all, except A. agavoides which may have one or two

Re: Grafted some Ariocarpus
Why not trying Peireskiopsis ? They grow like weed, so no problem for stock.
Interezst for Aloe, Agave, Ariocarpus, Aztekium, Dorstenia, Euphorbia, Encephalocarpus, Haworthia, Hoya, Sansevieria and tropical orchids. You can find some fotoalbums here: http://picasaweb.google.com/emilio.botaniste

Re: Grafted some Ariocarpus
Since my experience tells me, and I mean samples with Pereskiopsis, that the likelihood for success of a grafting is higher when I'm using Seleniceresus, then I use Selenicereus
