Hello to all,
A update from my side
1) of corypantha :-
As long as pereskiopsis is working i am not degrafting it.
I am thinking the half part which was getting full sunlight have more monstrose effect than other part which was in both case of corypantha & echinopsis
Growth is vey slow due to pereskiopsis aged & no leaf remain on peres. Also it has to give energy to pups.
Support is also given to this graft as weight is on 1 side & pereskiopsis is slightly bend.
Without support this graft will break.

So as to see if they have monstrose effect
Due to my negligence i am not able to provide them
Prpr area with sunlight ,
Will do this in following month as now is winter
2) echinopsis which was in direct contact with monacantha peres.
- Photo of 6may2021 , then degrafted

3) red bunny ear opuntia which was direct in contact with monacantha pereskiopsis. :-
Although they have shown little monstrose effect,
But i am not so much interested in this.,
so just put in one side of pot with natural red bunny ear cactus

4) this one graft has failed many time around 3,4 times,
You can just understand by watching how many time have been grafted,
Ferocactus, corypantha , calochlora graft were put on this & failed to fuse,
Then monacantha was puted after that corypantha grafted on it

This graft will only tell us if it have more monstrose effect. Than 1st one corypantha as it is getting passed virus or whatever from pereskiopsis & directly from monacantha too.
5)
Opuntia monacantha degrafted from directly contacted pereskiopsis.
Is like totally new species , i can't even tell this was monacantha
- Degrafted monacantha

6) there was 1 more corypantha directly grafted on monacantha peres.
Have shown monstrose effect i.e puping
But after sometime pass monacantha Stop giving nutrients to corypantha, & it was dehydrating,
So i give to a friend for rooting & it was extra for me ,
after it have some growth i will give update here

7) echinopsis calochlora (don't know real name)
Grafted on monacantha peres. Has failed,
Graft was perfect but i don't why it hasn't shown growth after some time,
It remain of same size, so degrafted it & given to friend.
