<p>The invention relates to a method of separation of branch segments (phylloclades) or buds or flowers from branches and cuttings of Phyllocacti or whole plants of Phyllocacti comprising the steps of placing said Phyllocacti, cuttings or branches of Phyllocacti in a region in which the concentration of a gaseous agent and the temperature can be controlled and exposing the Phyllocacti, cuttings or branches of Phyllocacti to a given concentration of the gaseous agent or a gas releasing compound at a given temperature for a given duration of time, where the concentration, temperature and duration of time falls within given pre-determined ranges of concentration, temperature and duration of time chosen ac-cording to specifically desired separation effects of the exposure on said Phyllocacti, cuttings or branches of Phyllocacti.</p> |
