- Hi everyone!
In this 2 part series I share with you how to graft cactus.
Video one features seedling grafts using Pereskiopsis and part 2 is a grafting technique for grafting larger cacti.
I hope you enjoy the video!

Great explanation, thanks for this! Grafting cacti is so addicting
Great with the use of tape and blanket, looks so much easier and practical then rubber bands :)
You did amazing explaining the process and explaining why you do what you do I found this to be very helpful
Could I do watering in these 7-10 days of resting time in the pot of stock?
The 'Blanket' technique is exactly what I need to do when attaching & not damaging the bottom part because it has rows of vertically needles around it. I also heard putting a small circular piece of cling wrap then using kitchen cooking string to gently close it up on just the top 1/3 of grafting is good for shock/germ protection/incubation curing & dry out trauma Kinda like an oxygen tent over the hospital bed! True?
شكرا جزيلا
معلومات رائعة وطريقة جميلة باستخدام هذا النوع من الشريط اللاصق
Of course the basic cactus must be with roots!
How long should the tape be left on before removing it? .
This was wonderful to watch! thank you so much, might i suggest using a rubber band instead of tape so there’s no risk of chemicals in the glue touching the exposed cactus.
Hey Thomas,
Thanks so much!
I have actually switched to bands as they are faster to use, they just come with a steep learning curve and many scions being flung arund the room! ha ha ha
Happy Gardening!
Would the astrophytum make pups after it's been cut like this?
The base will make pups when cut in this way. I do not use the bases but they can also be grafted to make more plants.
Hope that helps! Happy Gardening!
When should I water the cactus after grafting, ma'am?
Hi, I've got some cacti I've grown from seed so they're still less than 1cm wide. If I graft them together at this stage, will the rootstock continue to grow larger and additional roots, supporting the scion as that also grows? Or is it necessary to use a much more mature rootstock?
How much downward pressure for a 5c piece size myrio fukuryu? On pachnoi
What is the base cactus please? I think you said melocactus but when searching it looks like a stenocereus pruinosus? Asking as I have one which is very similar.
Hello, sorry for the late reply! The base cactus is Myrtillocactus Geometrizans. This is one of the most popular choices for grafting - The king however is Trichocereus Pachanoi ... Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
How do you calculate the rings for seedlings?
Good video which makes me understand more ! Thanks so much !
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Next time you do any degrafts I would love a detailed video on it, along my with a bit more info what species are unable to grow on their own after etc..I just attempted my 1st graft here, fingers crossed they take.
I have a degrafting video currently in production. Hope to have it finished in the next month or so. Good luck for your graft, i've got my fingers crossed for you too! Happy Gardening!
Thank you, very informative. I am inquiring if in thd event can you separate them again and plant the upper portion direct to the soil??
Glad you liked the video! Yes these plants can be separated and then the top portion treated like a cutting where it will produce roots and grow again on its own. Not all cacti can be degrafted as many that are grafted do not produce chlorophyll, the yellow and red "moon cactus" are examples of this. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
Very good segment thanks
Great straight forward videos. Thank you very much.
Most welcome, glad you enjoyed the video. Happy Gardening!
can't wait for part 3 the finished product reveal :)
I actually forgot to take a before shot which is disappointing however you can catch a peek of this graft in my Autumn tour and then again in the upcoming Winter tour video... Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
That was really interesting and very informative....can you do updates please...I've love to know how it gets on.
Really happy you enjoyed the video! I will absolutely do updates - stay tuned! Thanks for watching and Happy Gardening!
Hi mate, When is the best time to graft a cactus? I live in Perth. Cheers
Hey,
Spring and summer are best.
Grafting in autumn & winter often leads to fungal issues.
Best of luck and Happy Gardening!
@@87walker Cheers mate
Why do they fail if the vascular tubes line up?
What to do if the central vascular cambium is dissimilar? Let us say, the scion has small diameter of vascular and the root stock has big diameter. Is there a chance of success? Thank you
Most of the time the scion will have a much smaller vascular ring, you just need to ensure this overlaps the stocks ring. You want them to cross each other not line up. Think of the olympic rings, that is what you are after. Hope that helps! Happy Gardening!
Thank you for the lesson. I will try!
Grafting can seem daunting at first however after some time you gain confidence and the results are just incredible, at times it's almost likely your watching a cactus grow live thing happen than quickly. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
I am really motivated to try. The idea of taking a cactus that is vulnerable to rot at the base and combining it with a strong root stock sounds really good. ^^
Very interesting and informative. I’m gonna look for the next one to see if this worked 🌵❤️
What happen if tape stay on for only 4 - 5 days?
You run the risk of the graft failing or not sticking properly.
How long does it take for the graft to become secure?
3 months.
How much time grafting will take ?
Does the part 2 cactus go into a humid box also or only pereskiopsis as the root stock?
I put the part 2 in a humidity box but only for 5 days, just to prevent the cut surfaces of the stock plant shrinking too rapidly. You don't have to put part 2 grafts in a humidity box but Pereskiopsis must be. Happy Gardening!
Very informative! Thanks for making this video
Glad you enjoyed the video.. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
Do you have any picutres of how it looks after a year? :)
I will put one up on my FB page today.
What kind of soil have you used ?
very nice video but may i ask how long do you leave the tape on there?
Timo Vskmp ..7 - 10days.!
Hi, I leave the tape on for 7-10 days this will depend on whether the cut tissue of the grafting stock is healthy or if there are nasties appearing which can happen even with proper sterilization of the blades. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
Thank you my friend has been a nice sharing
Lo voy a intentar en casa. Gracias por el tutorial de injertos.
Muchas gracias por tu comentario, buena suerte. Happy Gardening!
I wanna try this at my home
thanks for sharing some brilliant ideas sir' awesome :)
Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching & Happy Gardening!
you're always welcome mah friend :)
If you let the root a.myro in soil it will start grow in 1 to 2 month
can I graft onto any cacti?
Most cacti will take to any other cacti - some work better than others and there are a few which can be difficult to get to take to certain types however these are few and far between. The best all rounder is Trichocereus Pachanoi followed by Myrtillocactus Geometrizans. Hope that helps, Happy Gardening!
Great information!
Thanks Dawn, hope your having a terrific day! Happy Gardening!
So basically circle, matches the circle, pressure, tape, wait 2 weeks, done
Close... Cross the circles, pressure, tape, wait 2 weeks & done .... Happy Gardening!
I made the mistake of not using a blanket when taping the scion. I used scotch tape and I ended up having leftover adhesive on the scion omg
Yes that can happen, not usually harmful though.
I would be glad if you publish your videos with Turkish subtitles. Thank you
I would love to be able to produce video's with multiple languages as I have viewers from all over the world which I think is totally awesome! But I do not know any other languages, i'm sorry.
Hopefully the demonstrations are clear enough to help people without the translations.
Happy Gardening!
any update on this one?
nice my friend , I have a lot of cacti hybrid videos on my channel
I have seen some of your videos, incredible flowers! I am very impressed and a little jealous.. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
Good job
Thanks Suzanne .. Hope your having a great day! Happy Gardening!
87walker many thanks dear ❤ ❤ ❤
Why do we graph
Concinta aislante 🤔👍🏻
Be sure to do an update video!
Most definitely! Will have an update video coming out soon. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
They always tell you “how” to graft cactus
But they never ask “why” to graft cactus
Hey! The 2 main reasons are 1. reduced chance of rotting and 2. increase growth rate... New video coming up soon with more info on this.. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
"Can't glue bits back on" he says, in a grafting video. (;
ha ha ha!
Happy Gardening!
Its not dacktape its Electrical thank me
就想看看有什么好的办法固定
Why people graft ??
Never people graft! Only ever plant graft.
This is evil
Not sure I agree. From cutting this plant 2 things are achieved: 1) it almost eliminates the chance of the top portion rotting and dying enabling this plant to grow into a magnificent cactus 2) the base will produce more plants. Grafting is not exclusively performed on cacti, if you have ever eaten an apple, pear, orange and the list would go on and on then it is almost certain that the fruit would have come from a grafted tree. I have nothing but respect and admiration for cacti and all plants for that matter, to say it is evil is not a very kind thing to say at all. Regardless of that, I hope you have a great week ahead.
evil? the plants dont mind if you know what youre doing, and mr. 87walker def knows his procedure, it can be hard the first time you try it, but it really can save plants from root rot and like he said speeding up the growth of slow growers. keep an open mind, ppl that do this most likely love their plants and consider what theyre doing before making any cuts
@@87walker Well said, totally agree !!!
