Here's a small update on the process.Well,to my amazement,the chinese lantern physalis alkekengi fused with the potato rootstock and is growing...vigorously.
But out of 10 plants only 1 took,errr...that might be due to me not sterilizing the razor and box they were healing in.I will graft more soon,this time I'll be more hygenic.


The solanum dulcamara seedlings are growing but still too thin for grafting.Once they are grafted I'll post update on that as well.

I have high hopes for these 2 species,because they are a) native in my area b)they are weeds.The chinese lantern has been such a nuisance ever since I found it growing in the nearby woods and planted it home.Solanum dulcamara is weedy and tough as well,establish plants seem to resist anything thrown at them and can also grow in shade.
