This is my first attempt to graft a lophophora in a Trichocereus. But my trichocereus had on the time 1,30 metters.
This is the result 1 and a half year later.

The one on top seems to have done well, but the little side buttons didn't make it I see. Well I see more pups are on the way!

Because they weren't touching the vascular ring of the stock?
Looks like the main graft is growing well. I need to practice some grafting...maybe one day i'll stir up the courage to cut up my good growing plants

hi friends,
Thank you for the replies. Is allways good to have some feedback.
Yes, the little side grafts didn´t make it. That time i tried to do so, based on some pictures. But i never realized how can be made the side graft.
After some time the little ones felt off
I can advise you to give it a try. This was my best trichocereus with my best lophophora. And it works fine =) they are healthy.

Dear forum colleagues,
My life was going on circles, I didn't care so much about my cactus and a lot of them have died, unfortunately. I'm now taking care of them, identifying everyone that survived and start my collection again. This is my only pride, a successful grafting made several years ago of a lophophora williamssi on a trichocereus that now I think is a Peruvianus and not a pachanoi. I hope the pictures can inspire others.

Yes indeed. I have grown a passion on this one. Many times I though on taking the babies to propagate but I lack on courage.
How many years do you think this graft can last?

The stock seems pretty healthy and scion seems really healthy to me- I'd say it would last quite a while.
