Continuing with the advances in the garden, I must show the grafts that I have so far, although to be honest I am not entirely satisfied since I see very little growth in most of them, they don't look bad nor do they feel soft, on the other hand they feel very hard and well stuck, perhaps it is because of the climate or perhaps because the graft holders were in my almost 100% mineral substrate.
Obregonia Denegrii
The one that I have seen that keeps growing is the peyote, it is grafted on a myrtillocactus and for that reason I already ordered 50 of them with a good size to graft, more or less of 4 inches, when they arrive I will make a video of the unboxing, I hope to remember it.
Look at that beauty! Isn't the Astrophytum Asterias beautiful?
Most of the cacti I have grafted so far are Astrophytum, but I also have some Gymnocalycium
For example this Astrophytum Asterias Shinshowa that I have grafted on Myrtillocactus, I am desperate to see it grow and give those beautiful flowers it gives.
And as you probably already noticed, I made a community pot with several of my grafts, I hope it was a good idea, but the main reason to do it was to change the mix for a 70% organic and 30% mineral substrate, after all the grafts shouldn't get wet with the rain, so there shouldn't be any problem to have an organic mix.
Finally I must say that when it comes to grafting, I have seen some very beautiful ones on Pereskiopsis but to my bad luck my grafts on pereskiopsis almost never work, at the moment there are few successful grafts like this one of Ariocarpus although I am not completely sure if it is correct, still I already see some growth, let's see what happens with time.
Another thing I want to talk about is that the last seeds I planted have me a little worried, they have not born as they should, some seedlings are doing more or less well, but others simply resist to be born, I don't know if it is because I received a bad seed or because the weather was not appropriate, for the moment I put the seedlings between the plants to give them shade and protect them from the freezing wind at night.
To finish I must say that I don't remember if I told you that during the last weeks I have been thinking of selling all my succulents and keep only cacti, but in spite of that I saw the Echeveria Agavoides and I fell in love, I had to buy one in the nursery.
And since one is not enough, I asked the owner to sell me an offspring of one he already has huge in the garden.
And this was the final result after the decoration in my garden, with this I say goodbye, see you soon.
