Grafting of small seedlings onto Myrtillocactus Geometrizans and Trichocereus Pachanoi

In this video I graft some Astrophytum Asterias and an Echinocactus Platyacanthus seedling onto Myrtillocactus Geometrizans and Trichocereus Pachanoi root stock. I also graft the top of a pup from Mammillaria Gracilis onto Pachanoi, and the bottom of the same pup onto Pereskiopsis Spathulata. After a week I should know whether these have adhered, and hopefully a short while after that I should see the start of active growth. I'm hoping to get fairly quick results on account of the warmer weather, and if all is good then I have a whole load of other grafts I'd like to attempt. I'll do an update video in a few weeks.

This is the first time I've had a significant number of Pachanoi plants (still technically seedlings themselves) to use as root stock, but I'm told they should work well. The top part of each of these will be allowed to callous over for 2 weeks, placed in a dryish medium to reroot then transplanted into well draining medium to promote active growth so that I can repeat the process next year. I think it's a bit optimistic to expect they will be large enough again for grafting this year, but you never know.

Apologies for the sound quality, which has come out rather quiet.
