The main head of my grafted Lophophora williamsii v. caespitosa is now 4.5 cm (~1.77’’) wide – the total width of the scion is 7.3 cm (~2.87’’). The plant was grafted one year ago as a 2 cm (~0.78’’) wide cutting taken from the plant shown in my profile photo. Unfortunately the mother plant caught rot in the wound and withered during winter. The scion is grafted on a Trichocereus bridgesii (Echinopsis lageniformis) stock.
Grafted Lophophora williamsii v. caespitosa
Maybe the Andy Warhol/Velvet Underground inspired title is a bit corny – but it seemed fitting for a plant exploding with growth ;-)
