importing plants

Awesome plant Trig, know how old it is approx?

Estimated at 30+ years. A. fissuratus don't get much bigger then that one A. fissuratus var. lloydii can though and is much faster than the type. Though fast for an Ario is still pretty slow.

Also on grafting what HN & lewis said but with Arios it is imperative to maintain high humidity and heat when first grafted otherwise the scion will dry.

Hmm getting a bit off topic here, oh well it's 'Around The Fire', it's permissable, and the mod for this forum is on holidays so yeah...let's all crap on hahaha

Plus i'm in a good mood because I just got some A. scapharostrus seeds in the mail

San Rainbow, you can graft at a couple of weeks old.

Lewis the guy that showed how to degraft is Frank Kamei, the guy who's plants I showed in an earlier post.

I have a.bravoanus on pereskiopsis that I am going to cut the back in spring. Its quite long so don't want to take chances of it breaking off

I was told if I leave it at 10cm for now it will be OK. So it will probably have about 5cm out of the soil. The stock is 16cm from soil to ario at the moment and getting a good lean up

Hey Trig I will definitely treat myself a chrissy present good luck with your seeds !!!

Thanks, I've only got about 500+ seed to sow in spring

Hey that's not many when it comes to sowing, just wait till its time to prick them out and then pot them up

Oops shouldn't have reminded you about that ........................ lol

happy days!

Ah well it's all good, or should that read it's all cactus? Either way I will do it with joy even if it is abit tedious, most of them are slow growing do wont have to do it for a while I guess.

Cacti rocks!!!
