I keep the grafting with the other pereskiopsis plant in a small terrarium with a heat pad at 25-28°C and high humidity. The first pereskiopsis cuttings were aquired on 26/11/2021 and had rooted and grown about 5-10 cm since then.

The other seedlings germinating, I'm waiting to acquire more Pereskiopsis for them

New year update.

I think I got some parasites. I am treating them with neem oil, which kills them it seems but also burns the leaves of the pereskiopsis

One Lophophora root graft did not take. The others are starting to bulge.

I identified the bugs as Thysanoptera, which is bad. I will continue to treat them with neem oil and insecticidal soap.

Some hosting sites block direct linking, so you might have to try uploading to a different hosting site. (Yes, this bugs me too!)

Most of the grafts are growing. A couple are stuck.

I have acquired more pereskiopsis and I am planting the top cuts of the grafted one, to use them later.

I have sown some Pachycereus pringlei and I will graft them as soon as I have some pereskiopsis available, both the seeds and the plantings are even bigger than saguaros.
