Success with an albino

[jox]

I would like to show off a little graft of mine that is now 3 months & 11 days since grafting. It is an Echinopsis (Tricho) Lumberjack X Juuls Giant & was grafted at 10 days old as it was white (all most clear ). I believe this is a true albino, lacking any pigment. I would like to know if anyone has success getting these to a decent size? Here are some photos

That's wild! Well done.

Holy molar! That's amazing. A true albino that isn't completely messed up in every other way. I'm very impressed. Even grafted albinos seem to have a tendency to go awry, but that one's perfect and beautiful. Well done.

Thanks for the nice comments ,

It was my first attempt at grafting an albino, so I am very happy with it. I have tried to find photos of other white albinos but can only find a couple & they were Lopho's, are they really that rare? Has anyone else got a white albino cactus?

Not mine, but a non-Loph albino.

@Mostly_Harmless, thanks for the link mate, it was cool to see another albino Tricho

@gemhunter, I am not sure what you meant by your post. Are you going to add a pick of my albino or are you telling me to add it? I am not very good with computers & would not know how to do that or who to ask, but if you wanted to add it to cactus-art I would be more than happy for you to do that & I would feel very privileged . If you can & wanted to add it, please let me know & I will take some better photos for you .

Thanks again
Jox

I am not sure what you meant by your post.Jox

I meant to add this to the list of albino plants with pictures, it's a cactus-art owned plant I think.
