Last winter I lost this plant, size about 12cm, I could only save some parts of the ridges.

Igrafted the parts of the ridges on Ferocactus glaucescens. After a few months some offsets began to grow.

I could harvest more than 10 offsets, I grafted them on Ferocactus glaucescens. The grafted ridges produce still offsets.

Excellent result. You managed to multiply a fine plant. I with pleasure would buy from you such plant.
good work, it's always a pleasure to save a plant from dead even if it's bit by bit
Andi this is a super result, we tried the same with this asterias shinshowa:

will reproduce it next year.
I think there are more suitable grafting stocks for this kind of work, for the moment fero glaucescens and harrisia jusbertii work well.
Does anybody have experience with other grafting stocks?
I am sure, ridge grafting also works on other grafting stocks. I also made Ariocarpus tubercle graftings on Jusbertii, they alos build offsets. I usually work with Ferocactus glaucescens, so I don't have lot of experience with other grafting stocks.
ridge grafting of myriostigma fukuryu haku-jo on a big myrtillo.
It's starting to make offsets.
The apex of the plant is on the left (it seems there is a bud over there)
