Grafting Epiphyllum to Opuntia.wmv 

Thank you! 9 years after you uploaded, its still helping people.

The opuntia are awesome to use for grafting. I've done tip scions on pads cut off across the top, and I did 4 cactus sort of 'slab' grafted onto 1 opuntia pad that turned out well.

I see why they do this at this nursery - lots of epiphyllum branches are produced, which can then be cut, rooted, and sold. I was amused to remember that 50 years ago I did a similar graft, but I inserted a Christmas cactus branch into an opuntia. I did it pretty much by instinct because all I had was an incomplete description in a book. Amazingly, it worked.

excellent grafting technique, greetings from Argentina

¡¡ Como amo los epis !!! No sé inglés pero; la vista informa igual. Muuuuchas gracias

Excellent, very informative video. Very well done.

@caladiumRJ Glad you enjoyed the video

Hi , I`ve had a prickly pear plant grown from a pad for some 20 years.. It has grown tall about 6 foot. The original plant grew flowers and prickly pears and I live in NE Ohio and bring it indoors when cold. It has never flowered. I was told because shorter days in winter, and others say you need a male with a female plant. I fertilize it and grows new pads every May when weather is warm. What can I do to make it flower. If can`t be done is there another type that flowers and grows fruit that good for up N here or at least grows flowers? Thanks ! Mark

Why graft Epiphyllum to Opuntia?

Really helpful I successfully grafted a aloe plant with a dragon fruit plant

Why mine does not bloom at all, it grows wild but no flowers, what is your secret?

I had a bit of trouble with e-bay and I closed out my account. thus I don't use them at all.

Come al solito, nessuna traduzione in Italiano........

thanks!
