Ok got it, i will stick to my original plan and graft to pereskiopsis and maybe some hylocereus if they grow big in time.

I'm refering to seeds of Caput Medusae. If you really have so much seeds to spare then please read your pm asap :lol:

I think the Astro is OK, just half-way to getting its white coating.

Ok regards to that graft, it survived and it stays yellow. Pictures following after that are all my grafts and degrafts.

Image
This is how it look like now, waiting to be rooted after drying.

Image
I tried grafting a Mammillaria.

Image
It 'blew' up.

Image
Grafted a pup of (forgot name). Anyway, waiting for it to flower.

Image
Grafting on Rebutias. When it started budding i was so happy.

Overview. The middle Rebutia graft is budding too, but still small. Hope flower is yellow.

A fun graft on Williamsii

Image
Rescued this Astro by grafting.

Image
All are grafted Astros. Degrafted and rerooting in progress.

Image
Biggest of all, really don't wish to harvest this. But all Pereskiopsis died of age.

Image
Roots! Took less than a week.

Image
This too.

Image
And this.

Preparing to repot.
