After years of grafting failure, I finally came up with a method that works so much better, that its almost easy Now!!
I call it the Twisty Tie Method
Rather than rubber bands, parafilm or gravity, you use twisty ties to gently hold down the graft with any pressure or alignment you want.
You must use a certain kind of twisty ties, some of the plastic types will not work, since they are not malleable enough.
I use green paper twisty tie, it comes in a spool and you can find it at most nurseries.
I will start at the middle of the process...
After you graft, you put a baggy over it, I mist the inside of the baggy to hold in extra moisture I put in extra sticks, to hold the baggie away from the graft
Under the bag, 3 grafts of Astrophytum caput-medusae Some close ups of how the twisty tie can be used to keep the scoin on the stock For Bigger Stock, you can use the twisty ties different ways, as shown
