Don't know how I missed this ..

I grafted exactly 2 weeks back. Still have not removed the cover. I can see suckers growing on the branch . I know I have to remove the suckers , but the cover is still there . Should I remove the plastic cover ? Pl suggest

It is all up to you. At 2 weeks the scion should be showing new growth now. Is your scion growing new leaves now? I only keep my plastic cover for 3 to 4 days because we have very high humidity, plus I only graft scion with an active growth already.

Here is a good article to read about grafting:

Stock is showing growth with suckers Graft shows kittle bulge though not very clear because of the cover .

I read this , this was one of the links ( including NGA friends )where I learnt flat graft

I removed one graft cover today after 2and a half weeks. Is this success or failure

This plant I got with my "tiny one " . Tiny one gave seeds and is now blooming but this guy had some survival issues . It had a slight rot on the main stem and I had to cut it quite low. Kaktus was little unhappy for cutting it so low

It was not growing at all. I peeled it to check but it was fine . I tried to graft it to check if all ok. After 20 days of grafting I removed the cover . Saw some bulge but jot so great . But slowly it started picking speed and this is how it looks now. The scion shrunk after sometime and saw new leaved emerging..

Uploaded this yesterday , but didn't received any acorns from uploading though I uploaded graft for the first time lol

Earlier root stock was not growing. When I grafted and the graft started growing , now the root stock also want to grow branches. Saw one small shoot bursting though only one . I know it's a sucker . Will keep it short want to know the color of the flower. Another mystery

Wow! I just gave you 5 acorns! I thought you bought this grafted! You are quite a pro!

It looks good, and it is growing 3 branches in 3 different direction, it will looks great in the future :thumbsup:

also give you some for Halloween shopping

I'm thinking of grafting my "stump", that is still alive and healthy but hasn't developed any roots since June! I am afraid if I do not do anything it will die.

@Kaktus whatever happened to your stumps? I have a few of those that might need to be grafted this weekend.

So far they look healthy, I think they will live for a couple of years..

Are you planning to graft them?

No, I don't plan to do any grafting, I will do a lot of air layering through out the year for the double petalled Adeniums. last week I started to hard prune a lot of the single petaled adeniums, as the rainy season is approaching and the flowering season is almost over.

With air layering I will have a better and balanced branches and will not have any issue with suckers. The downside is that there will be no caudex, but after 2 to 4 years they will also grow some big and nice looking roots, similar to root trained adeniums.
I think this year I can air layer roughly 10 adeniums.
As for the stumps, I will treat them as though they are lithops, maybe I will craft some nice looking shape on them

Great plan, your stumps have roots. Mine doesn't have roots!

If that is the case, just try to see if it can grow roots before grafting, otherwise it will waste the grafting effort.

for the acorns @gigiplumeria . Not a pro.. still learning from you all
This was my first try at graft luckily it survived . This one was done without glue.

Other 2 on different adenium the one with suckers failed

Yeah it's growing 3 branches and a sucker

Just a doubt , why do the pruned branch shrink
