I'm trying to graft Astrophtum seedlings onto a opuntia to boost there growth but im not too sure where to graft the seedling. So far all my seedlings i grafted on the opuntia have been sucked dry. what do i do??

Opuntia's vascular bundles are much closer to the edge than, say, Trichocereus or similar. This website might help.

Yep, Phil sent you to the right place. Tons of good info about grafting there.

My Astro grafting friends mainly use Pereskiopsis for their grafting stock..
