Some grafts take a month to start to grow. But once they start, grow very fast. Grafted in the first june days

In case with the ariocarpus. Dont start to produce new tubercles, start to grow the neck. Something that make the plant very natural growth. Similar as the opuntia compressa

How are you getting seedlings to stay put?

Happy new year to you too
The only successful opuntia graft inhave are small offsets. Seedlings, however, i only got one to stick and grow but knocked off accidentally

Im trying(and very likely to fail) to graft a hylocereus seedling on an opuntia humifusa pad(because i was bored).
getting the two things to stick together is hard.

Happy new year to all. I have been trying even offsets and small seedlings and different opuntias, usint tape to keep pressure, but really almost all work good for me. I dont know what to say, and most of them, as you can see this grow, say the stock is very good
