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! :D

And an update on the Ariocarpus that started out as the ball:

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

Hopefully. :)

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?

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.

Image

Astrophytum myriostigma v quadricostatum
Image
Eriosyce esmeraldana
Image
Thelocactus hexaedrophorus v fossulatus
Image

And now updates of some of the others (scale in cm/mm):
1st S. disciformis
Image
2nd S. disciformis
Image
Ariocarpus and Cintia knizei (I think)

It has been awhile since I posted some new graft photos so here we go.

Image

The group of grafts from before, one month and ten days later.

Image

S. disciformis x2, Ariocarpus, and Cintia knizei grafts

Image

B. liliputana x2 and a Pelecyphora strobiliformis

Image The underside of the left B. liliputana was a bit interesting to me.
