It is not happened on own-root cacti but about 5% of grafted Astrophytum turn to monstrous forms in my place.

Its also happend to my seedling when i graft.
How old the seedling on the pictures? When you graft them?

[Hanazono]

Top and bottom ones were grafted in October 2016.
Middle one was grafted in October 2017.
All of them were grafted around 2 months old after germination.

Astrophytum asterias cv miracle kabuto + Ariocarpus fissuratus

The photo is the fusion grafting of A. myriostigma cv Onzuka & A. asterias cv miracle kabuto.
As you can see, the top of Onzuka has turned the colour to red.
This one may be mixed "khoyo" gene.

I am speechless....

G'morning Dawnstar75,

Thanks for your comment.
I started to graft in 2003 with Hylocereus and Harrisia stocks.
Peleskiopsis is used since 2008.
I grafted 100 scions at least every year but it was reduced numbers from last year because of space issues.

I still graft some in this year but it just small numbers.

Absolutely wonderful! I am mesmerized by all I am learning about grafting...it truly is an art. I had a dream the other night that I switched all of the heads of my collection....very strange dream

Ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower

I found flowering buds on a fused scion, Ariocarpus agavoides + kotschoubeyanus.
Small one is kotschoubeyanus and large one is agavoides.
You can see flowering buds on the agavoides.

It is around the end of spring in here and is too early to form flowering buds.
It will not be able to open flowers.
