Yes, the Pereskiopsis is very good to learn on. I have started using other stocks and have found that the success rate is lower. But I tend to cut corners a lot being lazy and whatnot. I bought some of the moon cacti that were grafted to Hylocereus. I degrafted the Gymnocalycium so that I would get ...

As always, very nice work.

Wanted to drop in and show everyone what I am working on for the upcoming Spring grow. I have a lot of Pereskiopsis stock ready and more than enough seedlings to top them all. I was planting the peres in 1-3 gallon pots in bunches but that was not cutting it. I bought some garden potting bins and ju...

Very nice collection. Great pics as well.

Here is a mutant Pachanoi I grew from seed. It was intended for grafting but grew an odd little arm that keeps getting bigger so it has spared the knife. It is a little over a year old now and I cant wait for this spring/summer.

I live in Louisiana and I have found it wild here along the Red River. Most likely from upstream fields, but it shows up on the sandy soils along the river. They are often a dwarf variety but from time to time I run across a large specimen. Of course I take samples of the ones I find. Actually all o...

Go for it! To those who say failure is for sure, I say in failure is a sure lesson. What will work will be something to be proud of and what does not, well, consider it valuable experience.

Very nice work. Raising seedlings is fun but often difficult. Every little thing needs to be right all of the time. I went from one problem to the next with my first year of seedlings. Now I see what I did wrong and mostly keep them happy. It is to me the most rewarding part of the cactus world, rai...

Had to come back and correct the picture uploading issue. Was taking to long to upload so I only put a few up, but you get the gist. Mostly the same types just done over and over. I will buy cacti at the store to take the pups for grafting. I plant as many seeds as I have room for. Problem with the ...

I am glad to have found this place. I look forward to reading more from you all. Winter is so boring but my indoor area is packed and no room to do any new work until warmer temps. I started growing cacti a couple years back and the first winter I tried to keep them outside in a greenhouse. The snow...

Hello to everyone. I am new to the forum and wanted to show my current grafts. I have a lot of mixed grafts in pots of pereskiopsis. I started grafting a couple years ago. I was inspired by another forum member, Hanazono. I came across a post of some cool grafts. I had started raising seedlings and ...

Hana is the reason I am collecting Cacti. I saw a post years ago on another forum. I become obsessed with grafting at that point. I thank you Hanazono, you have given me a special gift.
