r/Graftingplants

About a year ago I posted the beginning of this experiment, and most of you said it would never take. Pothos and monstera are both Araceae but different genera, and intergeneric grafts have a reputation for failing. The results might surprise you.

The graft union held and the pothos scion pushed out at least 5 new leaves. Then one day I came home to find the pothos stem chomped by my cat. Not all the way through (vascular tissue was still connected) so it didn’t die, but it stopped growing.
Until one day I noticed a new stem pushing from the axillary bud at the node below.

I pulled the other monstera that was sharing the pot, clipped the chomped bit off above the new growth, and put all my faith in the little guy shooting from the node. That was a few weeks ago.

Graft has been fully accepted. The whole plant (monstera rootstock, graft union, pothos scion, new leaves) is doing amazing. It’s living outside right now until the weather gets too hot, then back inside where it started.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The weather finally warmed up in central New York (zone 6a) and the scion wood I bought was almost twice the diameter of my 2 year old Prolific cultivar. I decided to try a side graft and matched up the cambium layers on one side, I really hope it takes or I’m afraid the whole tree may be a goner. Is one 4” scion for $15 of a non standard size typical? I thought pencil size was a universal grafting size.

I hope i didnt

Tried a different grafting approach this season and got massive callus formation with a successful union establishment. Still observing long-term compatibility and vigor, but the healing response so far has been impressive! 😭

Using semi-dormant sticks collected from a superior mother tree a few weeks before bud break, then fridge-stored until grafting time. Still experimenting with timing and storage methods but the takes are looking promising so far 👀

Isn ´t it nice?

Enjoy it and have a good day!

Left my walnut grafts protected under cover and they absolutely exploded in growth — way more vigorous than I expected. They’re a bit lanky from the high humidity, but everything looks alive and healthy. I’m about to unwrap them and let them face real conditions. Let’s see if they can handle the transition.

As title says, first attempt grafting a bridgessi and pach tips. Let me know how it looks please

A week after taking off the cloth

Got my first glorp recently, and I’m trying to decide how I should graft this.

I want to keep it in as big a piece as possible, but I’m definitely thinking I should cut it an inch or 2 up so there is a more stable base.

Then graft the lil bottom piece to something else.

Also does this thing look like it’s going to crest/dicot to anyone? Or is it just glorpin lol

Figure crossed guys.

This is a sour cherry tree grown from seed. It comes from a thicket of trees that were probably also grown from seed, but taste quite well. All these trees are probably quite a bit down the line from the original parent tree that was a variety. Anyway I thought I would keep a part of the original root stock since the fruit tastes quite well and then graft onto the bigger main branch. I know the graft will be quite far up like maybe 6 inches plus from the base just wondering if it would work or if the root stock will try to kill the graft and focus on the original branch. If there’s anything else you see on my tree that I should do before grafting let me know. Also any scion wood variety recommendations for sour cherries and I guess I assumed that it wasn’t too late in the year to try to graft onto this?

One of my favorite Lophophor williamsii ‘s!

I got this plant about 4 years ago when it was only around 4 cm in diameter and sitting on a dead grafting stock.

Back then, I immediately regraft it onto a new, stronger stock - and now it‘s almost the size of a coconut!

Enjoy it!

I check it(look at) every morning and night. And it definitely has grown up it was completely flush on the back. And that looks like its one now. Am I correct. This the first time ever im so giddy

Hi,

Today, I‘ve found an interesting flower on one of my grafted Lophophoras.

Enjoy it!

Greetings from Germany!

The first two slides are grafting if ( micado apricot ) .

The next two slides are - apple grafting of ( big bucks gala ) .I top worked ,and converted the entire tree into a new variety .

You can now see green tip coming out of the grafts .

Are these red buds a good sign?

This is my dr funk grafted to San Pedro it's about a 6 months old graft. Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on what I should do with the lil revert that's going on
