Awesome video, Claire 😊 Two lovely grafted additions and nice to see them grafted onto decent stock. Dragon fruit really is no good for root stock because like you said they don’t last long. Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful evening from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌸🌼🌺🏜

Thank you so much Daz for your great comment, and for watching! 😃🌵👍🏻 Yes I'm really noticing how bad the dragon fruit are for stock. More videos to come soon 😄 🍂🌵🍁🌵🍂🌵🍁🌵🍂🌵🍁

I love unboxings. 😊 Those are good picks. Not very common cacti. That is the first time I’ve seen an Austrocylindropuntia subulata used as a root stock. I have a lot of those. This video just gave me an idea. 😊

Thanks so much for commenting and watching Ana 😁 That type of Opuntia looks very strong and robust as a stock, I think it will last a long time... I hope both the scions do well 🤞🏻 I look forward to see what you come up with 😃

Thanks for the nice video, Claire. That is a good tip about bumping the bottom of the pat to straighten up the cactus. Still trying to learn here.

@@billgolightly7203 Hi Bill, I've uploaded a Spider Farmer Grow Light unboxing video just now 😊

At least your new plants are grafted on good stock!! I really don't like hylocereus root stock. I always use stenocereus prunosus. I regrafted my gymnocalycium hibotan ( ruby ball) as soon as I got it home!! Has grown huge now after several years. You can grow the hylocereus off on its own. I kept mine and now it's 8ft tall!! Love the new plants!!! Thanks for sharing your new beauties!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to the UK, have a wonderful week ahead!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!! ✌️💖🌵🌷🌳🌻🌴🌿🏵🌲😃👍

Good videolots of great information, grafted cacti are interesting although somehow they don't appeal to me.

Yes, I know what you mean😊 but I like how it can improve the growth of rare cactus or increase the numbers of rare or scarce in the wild cactus or very slow cactus, it can help us to enjoy a cactus that would take such a long time to grow... if only humans could live as long or longer so we can enjoy or watch them grow in real time and still be around with them 😀

so,thanks for the vid,most interesting. as always I could ask a thousand questions as a newbie, but will ask just a few. do you now have to have A plant passport when getting and sending Plants to another country? especially as you say the plants are quite rare, and A rough idea of the time from order to delivery please. I do like to see lots of repot vids as there is always a slightly different method to observe, I have used charcoal with orchids, but you are the first I have observed doing so with this type of plant,thanks again, And enjoy your week,Bill Maureen.

Hello, thanks so much for watching 😊 I bought the cactus shown in this video from within the United Kingdom, so I didn't need any plant passport etc as I'm based in England, UK. Personally I've now stopped buying any plants from abroad or from the European Union. So, yes you need to pay for the cost of a phytosanitary certificate and the cost of postage, and depending on what country any customs costs too. But if you're buying from the EU to the UK you always need a phytosanitary certificate. Some cactus/houseplant shops online will sometimes have a phytosanitary certificate available to purchase on their websites as part of your purchase. Most good reputable sellers will explain thoroughly in their postage/shipping section the requirements necessary. Also, I love to use charcoal, I use it with all my cactus, and succulents. I have a few orchids and they have it added too. Depending on what KZread channels you're watching I'm seeing a lot more now using charcoal, or at least here in the UK its becoming more known as a great addition to potting mixes. 👍🏻😊🌵

Dragon fruit not only dont last as long but sadly dragon fruit is not cold hardy or vary drught tolerant(standing dry longer time will kill it), dragon fruit is harder/deferent to grow then most other cactus.

Thank you for your fantastic comment, yes... thanks for your information, it just adds to why dragon fruit are really poor stock plants... especially if you house your cactus outdoors all year round etc, mine are housed indoors but that's the quickest one I've bought so far to have it die... the dragon stock is now growing a new stem 😄🌵👍🏻
