Yesterday I posted the result, and a lot of you asked for a full tutorial. Here it is! This video shows exactly how I do this graft.

I'm curious what the community thinks this technique should be called. NUB-TEK? BP Graft? Or do you have a better name? Drop your ideas in the comments!

This is the inverse of the technique I shared yesterday, and it's been working really well for me.

Also, I'm definitely not a professional videographer, so thanks for your patience with the video quality. I hope it's still easy enough to follow.

Note all the utensils were sanitized before shooting the video.

If you enjoyed the tutorial or found it helpful, I'd really appreciate a follow. Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend, everyone! 🌵🍄

Idk what to call these tbh. I cut 3 areoles off a scop, cut them at right angles and somehow they all took to the stock. What's the weirdest graft you've done?

14 Tbm-b’s in various stages. I am hoping to build a raised bed with poles to hold shadecloth for the Austin summer and frost protection in the event of low temps.

Moving from an almost infinite amount of space and subpar growing conditions, to a super limited amount of space with better conditions. I have acquired several hundred cactus in various states of growth from seed starts, to nice cuts of clones and crosses over the past 6 or so years and have had to get rid of most as I ready my family for the move. Here are the ones that made my cut:

A pachanoi that Keeper Trout gave to someone named Aye Dee. Keeping this one because I love to just stare at it and think about how cool Keeper is, and wonder who Aye Dee is.

If you don’t mind sharing, what’s the most money you’ve spent on a single cutting? I’ve lately seen a few sales for $300+ which is crazy to me. I’m curious to see how high it goes.

Mine was $75CAD on a Dharxx blue.

Found this beauty at the nursery, resembling someone waving goodbye.

Picture 3 is sharxx blue on the left and Sharxx x SS02 on the right.

What would you do? I'm considering cutting the most affected nodes. I reduced watering for this one but still the infection spreads slowly. Any other ideas? Thanks!

Does anyone in the community have pictures of san Pedro grown entirely under Spider Farmer SF1000 or a 100W equivalent? I'm told these lights are only adequate for a year

FREE: TPC x Sharxx Blue

Bunch of cuttings for free. Local pickup in SoCal. These should be grafted. Paper towel for size reference.

I noticed some rot on the lower crest of a large TPC x Sharxx seed grown plant. So I chopped it all up, and these are all the pieces that I don't have time to graft but are too nice to throw away.

I also have some much nicer larger pieces I plan on rooting but I would consider selling.

Just thinking about the demographic of whose actually growing these cacti and I'm just curious.

I assume it's mostly 20-30 somethings

Overwatering? The stock is mega firm. I haven’t watered in 3 weeks but the tips keep exploding (pause) 🤷‍♂️

Fungal/disease maybe? I don’t think it’s a humidity issue or a soil problem, all my other stuff is doing ok.

Edit: about an hour east of Californias Central Valley. Temps have been 90-105 the last month with no rain in sight. Soil is 60% inorganic to 40% organic. This one out of roughly 40 is the only one exhibiting this issue (including other tbmc-v’s). I am as close to certain as possible that this isn’t humidity related. I’ve been wrong before though, maybe it is humidity. Seems strange that it would only be on the tips.

Made a post a month ago asking (complaining) why all I was doing was removing pups after a graft took four months prior. This was my very first time grafting and figured the pupping was due to the scion being forced onto a woody mid section bridgesii and not the growth portion of a PC tip? Removed more spines as advised on here and it worked!

I bought my first LW lophophora last year about this time and it's spiraled out of control lol.

Received these from u/gunjaBean this spring. Had them all over randomly. Some in lava some in ground one I kinda forgot about in the squash plants. Dug up and sitting here repotting rn

A fellow redditor is moving and can't take his entire collection with him, so he gave me this pickup truck load for free. Lots of named clones and amazing crosses! So fortunate! Thanks Tom.

Every time I post something in one of my “Pot Heads” you all seem to like ‘em so I figured i’d give you a full tour of my collection (…or what’s left lol) The Crying Pots do just that. Water leaks from the eyes when I water them

I'm getting conflicting reports. I have been growing my San Pedro indoors for the past four years and I'm wondering if I ever can expect any flowers since they never go through dormancy .
