my 3 day old Gymnocalycium mihanovichii graft

[yomero]

here is a picture of my 3 day old Gymnocalycium mihanovichii graft on Myrtillocactus seedling,
looking good so far, I think.

That's a very nice crimson red coloured form! Fingers crossed it's taken successfully. Just wondering what's up with the sunken appearance of the grafting site, though? Has that happened since you made the graft?

I was surprised to see that, may be because it's very young myrti. sidling and got a little dry,
I will post future pictures.

the scion is getting fat on one side,

What did you give it to drink? It's all red.

Kool aid!

That match. I think I will get some for my cacti aswell.

Should of gone with red cordial! Knowing how loopy it sends kids that drink it that cactus would be columnar in notime!

weather is cold and windy and gymny it's growing,
I keep it in the sun with only the Gymny covered with small paper cap to protect it from direct sunlight

Looking great!

Hi yomero, so you didn't use any rubber band or something like that on to keep the two of them pressed together? I have some small Gymnocalycium to graft but i'm totally new to this.

I got the how to do it from this website but used a small flat wood with weight instead of the tape,
and had it with the weigh for 5 days, I check it the 3rd day and shot 1st picture but put weight back for two more days,

yea! thanks, but know I regret for leaving the stock too short.

How short is too short Yomero? Could we see a picture of the whole plant? I really like the look of Myrtillo for graft stocks, and I would like to have short stocks when I graft some plants. What is your concern with this? Slow growth? Unreliable?
Thanks.

here are a couple of pictures 14 months latter,
I think mythylocactus is more stable then hylocereus but slower growth.
