G'morning Kaktus.idn,
tempt in my greenhouse is now around 45-50° when mid day and 25-30 in night day ,
It is very similar to my place in summer.
I cover my greenhouse by shade cloth in summer to keep room temperature within 50 'C.
If you could keep it within 50 'C, you are not necessary any counter measure.
Btw astrophytum and some mammillaria flowering well in here, the problem is in some gymnocalycium species
If the Gymnocalycium is health enough, it should be in flower in summer.
A health Gymno forms new spines in winter. Do it form new spines in winter?

For big size cacti 50° Its okay in here, but it's not for small young cacti and mostly shrink although I have watering them often 2/3x in week, did you separate young and mature cacti in place ?

G' morning Kaktus.ind,

Yes I do.
Watering frequency is also different. I water in growing season:
Matured cacti: every 2 weeks
Young ones: weekly

My potting-mix is:
Pumice sand, 2~4 mm size-60%
Organic base cactus mix in shop-40%
I do not no in detail of the mix but the main material is pine bark.

I do not use fertilizer for normal cacti.
Yes fertilizer is used just for grafted ones.

I do no set the scion in middle of root stock section.
Since seedlings are very yong, vascular ring is unclear. I set them as "each other one section end point contact".
