| It is possible to increase numbers of plants form a part of the plant body. I tried to graft tubercle of various genera of cactus. I found Mammillaria is possible to graft easily. The following is my method to use the tubercle grafting for Mammillaria. The method is very similar to my seedling grafting. This sample is pulmosa. | |
