Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

The place that sells the seed is in Australia..

People are grafting these to a fast growing cactus and getting maturity in 6 months!

Now, of course I dont need to do that. I only plan to add this plant to my "medical herb" garden.. Just in case.. This and several other cacti have amazing topical uses.

Duff, have you got any seeds? sorry for the OT DanDMan.


Dan, do you happen to know what cactus it's best grafted to?

KP I got the seeds from the fruit. It was at the local supermarket and looked interesting. Would of saved more seeds If I knew they would grow. One fruit has thousand of seeds. Threw them in a seedling tray and forgot about them. Got 10 small plants now. Good to know that I can graft them onto a larger plant. Got 2 larger ones I ordered online.

Crown Royal can be used for medicinal purposes and it doesn't have stickers

Wild Turkey works in a similar way.

I have seen them at Safeway and the like in Melbourne KP

It's on you tube, including how to do the graft.

Youtube, of course... should have thought of that! Video for everything these days

No one writes papers anymore

Video killed the thesis star?
No really though, who wants to read... Reading is for the imagination, instructions should exclude imagination, it's where ppl go wrong.

In my house KD " the Distruction Manual " rocks.....always after I have attempted to put together what ever , and spat the dummy on not figuring it out my self....and when all else fails....i call in contractors


Wish I could find my seeds

Had some cacti seeds a few years back tried to grow them and failed then when i looked back after I neglected them they were doing OK, ended up killing them somehow though.

RE: Dragon fruit noticed some at my Asian grocery store today, have fruit, have seed, can grow....

funny you guys talking about all that esp. dragon fruit, I bought one CHEAP at my local growers and couldn't believe it... I'm gonna grow some seedlings... dunno if I'll make it happen or not but I do have a green thumb for succulents and cacti.

any cactus can be grafted to another, but you are best to use the vertical growing ones as it allows room to grow, san-pedro is a good one for many reasons. When you graft one cactus to another it changes the alkaline content of the grafted cactus, you need to re-plant this cactus, which allows Mother Nature to do its thing and then wait around 6 months for the levels to re-balance.
