BLOODY GRAFTING STOCK

Why is Grafting stock so damn difficult to come by?

I often visit local garden centres and few of them sell cacti, the ones that do stock Shit!
I have brought another San Pedro to use as rootstock; from the same trademe seller so I presume they are clones.
I intend to use this for another Peyote graft when its roots have developed!

I would really like to have a grafting stock from many different species so that I can experiment with what works best!
I intend to use:
  • Hylocereus undatus (dragon fruit)
  • Myrtillocactus Geometrizans
  • Stenocereus pruinosus
  • Trichocereus Spachianus
  • Any Pilosocereus
  • pilosocereus azureaus

    I brought this thing for dead cheap but I am not sure what it is!





    Trichocereus Panchanoi

    Trichocereus Bridgesii


    Echinopsis lageniformis, syn Trichocereus Bridgesii


    I found this little guy at a local garden centre, the name was misspelled but it had relatively long spines for a cactus of its size so I am pretty confident it is a true Bridgesii (Echinopsis lageniformis).

    The flesh is much paler than other pics of Bridgesii I have seen, but I think that might be down to a slight sunburn.
    I repotted it on 4/11/09, and hope to use it as a grafting stock when it gets growing again!
