Oh cool, i'll keep on the look for now Wink

It sounds good.
cactus-art tells me that Harrisia jusbertii is actually an inter-generic hybrid between Harrisia pomensis and Echinopsis eyresii.
Definitely got echinopsis style flowers.

i just recently bought a Toumeya papyracantha that is grafted to Trichocereus huascha i think. it seems to be an alright stock, and has evidently really pushed the Toumeya along and induced it to produce several offsets.
perhaps T.huascha would be comparable to T. spachianus in terms of stock qualities? It does look similar.

Hellonasty - in your first post you mention trying out
Opuntia as a stock - and that you would report back later - I have
recently experimented with opuntia so far with little or no growth - just wondering
how you went?

I grafted three smallish plants with Astro cultivars. Only one took and has been growing really slow due to the weather. I will do a few more in about a month and that should give a better indication. I think the original graft will speed up once the weather warms up. I didn't label it at the time and now i'm not sure what it was ?? Question
