| Propagation of cactus | ||
| Each hobby cactus collector enjoys various way of cactus collection. I enjoy trying various propagation methods through the cactus collection. Since there is no rare Astrophytum plant available in this country, I start from seed germination. The first generation of species in my greenhouse, purchased seeds are normally done seedling grafting for the quick seed collection in house. The second generation of species are propagated with own root. | ||
