I said I had never seen Pereskia aculeata in Australia but I knew there was aculeata v godseffiana.
Some years ago I bought aculeata v godseffiana from WA.
I knew aculeata v godseffiana was not suit for grafting stock but I tried grafting.
Several scions were taken but they did not grow at all.
Aculeata v godseffiana has peach colored foliage.
All stocks went into a bin.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I wouldn't class it as a particularly fast grower... I've had this plant since mid november and it hasn't exactly done much in the way of growing since then.

Collected some green Pereskia aculeata cuttings today. It has to be the least cactus-looking cactus I've ever set eyes upon. Large, green and fairly soft leaves, small hooked thorns, rather than spines, at the bases of the petioles and long, slender stems. The older stems had definite spines though. It was much thinner, in terms of stem diameter, than I was expected. Will see how they root now. Seems like it shouldn't be as easy as other cacti due to being so little like other cacti, but we'll see.

Keep us posted !

I shall do.
