Aylostera supthutiana HJ516
Not only does this have wonderful flowers, it goes almost black in winter...

Re: Aylostera supthutiana HJ516
What a contrast. Red flowers on an almost black body.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: Aylostera supthutiana HJ516
I know how much Ralph likes grafts so here's my one, acquired in the good old days of continental plant purchasing last summer after he drew my attention to this particular clone. Heaven knows why it's on a graft as it literally looks set to burst and so unnatural (it's in a 2.75" pot). I'm eagerly awaiting the flowers - it's certainly frantically popping something out from it's expanded waistline, probably a mix of buds and offsets. My plan is to decapitate it after flowering and propagate the resulting fast produced offsets, which is where a grafted plant has it's benefits

Don't forget to cut a little way up, and hopefully the stump will produce more offsets. If it works, I'm sure you will soon have a lot of new friends!

That's what I normally do Ralph. With this big fellow I'm planning to cut about a quarter up and rooting the top.ralphrmartin wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 7:01 pm

Hi Ralph,
Well that's a coincidence I only just saw this after I messaged you, oh well I will keep looking for one. I saw them available last year but it's not so straightforward now we are out of the EU

Re: Aylostera supthutiana HJ516
They hardly look like the same species. I can think the only reason for grafting is that a grafted offset could be sold within a couple of weeks of grafting whilst rooting a cutting with enough roots to sell would take about a year so a quick way to make money from offsets is to graft them and sell them quickly for a higher price whilst they're still in short supply. As far as I can remember, I've only grafted cristate Rebutias.
The first plant looks like what I would call Pygmaea whilst the second one looks quite attractive, I wonder if they have similar flowers.

Re: Aylostera supthutiana HJ516
From memory it cost about £2 or £2.50. I was surprised how big it was when it arrived and it just kept going. It's about the size of a decent sized lemon now. Will post a photo of the flowers once they show for comparison with Ralph's. Hopefully I'll have some offsets for distribution next yearStuart wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 3:40 pm They hardly look like the same species.
