[center]Hello, I figured it was a good idea to give a small introduction for myself.
Within the last two or so years have I made succulents (mostly cacti) my main priority. My favorite genus is Trichocereus, now called Echinopsis, but I also like Lophophora, Astrophytum, I'm not picky though I love them all. I hope that I can be helpful here and I am glad to be a part of the community.[/center]

Grating? You mean grafting, I think.
Well the greater portion of my grafts are to either Pereskiopsis or Hylocereus stocks, but I do a bit of Opuntia grafting too. I've only recently started grafting (successfully that is).

Here is a Notocactus/Parodia uebelmannianus/uebelmanniana

Yes silenus,i meant grafting,I am the typo king.I was wondering what you have tried on opuntia,did it work,were you happy with opuntia and what opuntia species stock did you use?

Silenus · Post by **Silenus** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:36 am

Compressa, it works well and tends to flower faster, great for seedlings that are eight or so months old. I will get a picture uploaded for you when I get home.
