Hey Folks,
Any comment on whether tubercles of this plant will root and grow?
I'm getting about a 30% success rate on Ariocarpus using this technique.

Leuchtenbergia tubercle cutting?
I'll grow it as long as it doesn't have glochids. Gaudy flowers a plus.

I've heard about this as well, it seems like it's possible but it's advised to graft the tubercle instead of directly rooting it.

Apparently they will grow roots and take up water, but they never really do anything else. Might be worth a try, though.
