I consider that this graft is something special, or somehow it should be since it is a new clone that came out of the root graft that I did last November, here I leave the post so you can check it out.
Time passed and as it usually happens sometimes, I forgot where I left the graft, or rather it's not that I forgot but I stopped looking at it because at first it looked like it wouldn't work, and to avoid stress I stopped paying attention to it until a couple of days ago when I realized that it looks like this.
The truth is that it looks much better when you look at it from above because when we see it from the side we can see the strange growth when we do the root grafting.
Looking at it this way I have started to think if I should cut it and make a new graft to make it look much better, the size is already good and if I re grafted it on another rootstock it would surely grow really fast, the only thing that stops me is that I know there are likely to be a lot of shoots and it would be good to leave it like this until I have at least about 5 new clones, in a couple of days I will decide.
My strange way of keeping track of my grafts, I didn't take pictures of the other part of the graft because I gave it away a couple of weeks ago and I no longer have it in my garden, it's a pity but I know it's growing huge.
Last weekend I had a trip in which I took pictures that I needed and in the process I met a person who cultivates pitahaya, he has many species and shared with me so much information that I do not remember everything, he told me about the differences in the fruit, color, flavor, size etc, I hope to return in a couple of weeks when the flower buds are about to open because at the moment they are still small.
I didn't want to abuse the trust by taking too many pictures of all his crop, but it is almost certain that the next time I visit him there will be more confidence and then I will have to take a notebook to write down the information he gives me or even audio record all the information because although I also have these plants, mainly for grafting, he does it commercially to produce cuttings and fruit and that also interests me, so I hope to share with you some of the information he gives me, see you soon.
Thank you.
I had a huge pitahaya growing on some rocks at my place although I destroyed it because they are invasive here and it was spreading towards the nature reserve. I'd be interested to hear what he tells you. They certainly are tough
I almost exploded my head with so many things he told me, not about the care because I already knew a little about them and they are similar to some cacti, but the information about the species surprised me.
I am in a similar situation with one of my succulents. It has some sprouts but the main plant is growing a flowering stem, so I don't want to damage the flowering process by taking out the sprouts. Whatever I decide I will share with you here.
P.S.: The graft looks very "cool".
It is lucky to have cacti and succulents because they give us many topics to talk about, I will be waiting for your post about your garden, thank you so much.
