Thanks.
Re: Seedling graft
Some more for you guys:
Not the best photos but first is an A. caput-medusae on a Pereskiopsis stock and the second is the same sp. on a Hylocereus sp(I think) stock. I used superglue to get the grafts to take, the A. caput-medusae seedlings didnt seem to like to "stick" like so many other species do on the grafting stock, both of these have taken and are showing new growth!
And an update on the Ariocarpus that started out as the ball:

Re: Seedling graft
GREAT Idea on the A. caput-medusae! I've killed several seedlings and am running out because they just will not stay on the root stock! I'm going to sacrifice one more to the crazy glue method

Nice grafts!
A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.

Space is the constraint on my expanding the selection of tiny grafts at the moment. Gotta clean off the other half of my desk I guess, not like I needed that for anything else, right?

Re: Seedling graft
I picked up a bit of seed from mesa after my birthday and I couldnt resist grafting up a few of the seedlings. I did 12 grafts, 10 of those took and are growing nicely.
Astrophytum myriostigma v quadricostatum
Eriosyce esmeraldana
Thelocactus hexaedrophorus v fossulatus
And now updates of some of the others (scale in cm/mm):
1st S. disciformis
2nd S. disciformis
Ariocarpus and Cintia knizei (I think)

Re: Seedling graft
It has been awhile since I posted some new graft photos so here we go.
The group of grafts from before, one month and ten days later.
S. disciformis x2, Ariocarpus, and Cintia knizei grafts
B. liliputana x2 and a Pelecyphora strobiliformis
The underside of the left B. liliputana was a bit interesting to me.

Re: Seedling graft
What has happened to that B. liliputana graft?
