Hi Christer
look superb as always , do you feed your plants often as they just look so good or it could be I'm a bad parent,how are your own root seedlings growing, mine seem slow has anyone seen a large own root plant or do they not grow that big

I use 1‰ (1ml/l) of nutrition every watering and it's N5.2, P1.0, K4.3 + minerals and micronutrient, but then again, I have artificial lights and grow some of mine all year long. My largest on it's own root, from the same batch, have 4 "tentacles". Yes, I think they grow very slow

What are your long term plans for the grafts? I'm thinking, of course, about the Pereskiopsis particularly. Are either of the other joins 'tight'?

Hello,

today I will show you my vegetativ graftings from acm.
I have 9 different clons, from this I make grafts and seeds every year.
With this article, I will show you my work this year 2010.

graftings from spring 2011 on bigger F. glaucescens, clon 1-3

few months later:

you can see the first:

the next graftings, august 2011. New clons from köhres:

A slowly plant from the same grafting in spring 2011:

autumn 2011:
the numbers on the labels are the clon numbers

Now, the first plants are ready to sale - they are all away from this year. I keep a few plants for the mother asset flexible-carnose and the tuberkels of acm can better drive out after 1-2 months after grafting.

I hope I can show you some of my grafting.
Daniel
