Top Tips for Grafting San Pedro Cactus on Pereskiopsis 

Glad I got your list of seeds & seedlings. I had grabbed some of both from other sellers, but always wanted to try your genetics. So, in a little while, once my seedlings are a bit bigger, I plan to buy a bunch of seeds and seedlings from you. You're a great teacher, and I learned everything I know from you. Thanks for everything you do for the cacti community.

Thanks for the satisfying video, Jerry! Always a pleasant surprise when these are posted.

❤your work.,thankyou for sharing your work. Just what I needed to know. I’d love a seedling of any spineless TPs that one at the end that’s OP but the dad is known is a beauty. I have a thing for the spineless ones and my collection is going that way more. Strictly sacred too brother.

Very timely. I just got some peres and plan to graft soon

this is awesome and clear! i wish this channel great success!!!! i just got my saint pedro back, its planter box is on a pallet, a 80 or so year old cactus root ball with a stump over half meter wide, i got from an auction from a house renovation(, grows over a hundred pups a year which grow almost 1 meter, over 100 meters growth a year!! the thing weighs tons(with the planter box). i just got it back from foster care while i was finding a house. its been neglected and in the shade so everything was skinny, i've cut it all back to the original stump and now the root ball has had 8 years to settle after i dug it up. now its time i re-pot it into a beautiful wooden pot and supercharge it! lots of pumice to lighten up the pot, something solid for the roots to grab at the base im going to watch many of your videos :) i want to do this properly so its set for many years to come. ihe south side is under full shad so might try grafting peyote onto that :) i have a few types that flower around the same time so i want to try the seed thing and see if i have some nice hybrids to graft, turn my gaint cactus into a graft of all my types of cactus. I have some beautiful fast growing blue ones that have the most brutal dangerous spikes, would be nice if some of the seeds had less brutal spikes for a more pet friendly version i get into carving some of the older ones, writing dates into then when i get them and making random patterns, poor things, but i make up for it with lots of love

this is great i love grafting on Pereskiopsis so much growth so fast and they look cool

Great one! I love the ear plug thing. But I do also love playing around with the syphon effect!

Thanks for your work. I have grafted with many pereskiopsis as root stock for lophos and trics. I find its best to use very young tiny seedlings for both. Maybe a week old. works best. Letting the peres dry out a bit is important to get them to stick together. I seldom need to apply pressure, almost never. A straight cut on both is important. A better graft stock is a dwarf variety of Optunia because you don't have to degraft, and you can bury it completely under the soil. Best part is you dont have to deal with the terrible micro spines of peres.

au top, j'adore les cactus et l'accent français, merci !

Another great video my guy

Another great video Jerry, thank you 👍 I planted 150 of your seeds about a month ago, I haven't properly counted them but the germination rate looks high.

❤your work.,thankyou for sharing your work. Just what I needed to know. How can I see your seedlings/seed list please

Wonderful thanks for teaching us great

Dude the ear plug tech… genius

Amazing! Will start grafting next year!! Also with my Pachanoi and Bridgesii mutants!

Great video Jerry, and it's nice to see the tips from an expert on grafting on Pereskiopsis - I've had some good success but not degrafted any yet. Hopefully next year some of my Trichocereus seedlings will be large enough to use as root stock too - I tried one that's a year old (I needed to rescue an Astrophytum seedling that lost its roots to fungus gnats) but it failed first time. So I recut and regrafted - not sure it's worked this time either. Perhaps they need to be bigger to work reliably.

Love youre talking abbout passion like I do.

Add a tip. Cut your Pere tip in a spear shape and just plunge your graft on it sits better and usually takes without hassle

Does Julien have any socials? I would love to get some advice from a fellow trichocereus enthusiast from a cooler climate. Especially on soil and watering, the advice given online is usually for pretty warm & dry climates.

What is the very first cactus shown with the great notches and seagulls? Is that titan only? Amazing :)

Question if you were to use chemicals to grow it to full size then cut the new growth it should be chemical free correct?

How long does it take to hond

There are people that think grafting stock can change the appearance of the scion new growth because of certain growth hormones. I have experienced the rootstock watering thing, I grafted to trichocereus sun goddess from a retail store (Home Depot) and because it was seldom watered, it started shrinking and separating from the scion quickly. It plumped up after watering.

When grafting onto a root stock, would the variety of root stock effect the growth of the new cactus? For example I’m not familiar with Peresk and what would be considered a mature root stock , for example if you use a dragon fruit as a root stock a mature stock would be around 1 year old maybe 2 ? Not knowledgeable of the subject so but I apologize if it’s a obvious or stupid question?

Plant power.

Why my san pedro is getting reddish someone pls help
