Hi Dan, nice plants!
when do you regraft from peresk to harrisia?

thanks

[danskibsted]

Thank you (:
I usually regraft within the first year. Actually, most pereskiopsis grafts are 6 months when I regraft (pereskiopsis grafts are made in autumn, regrafting in spring).
When I regraft I always leave some tissue from the ariocarpus on the pereskiopsis stock. If the pereskiopsis graft is young, there is a good chance that new ariocarpus pups will come out of the old pereskiopsis graft. If you wait several years with regraftning from pereskiopsis, there is nearly no chance that the remaining ariocarpus tissue will produce new pups. At least that is my experience.
Another reason to regraft early is that it is much easier to handle small scions and find suitable stocks.

Thanks for the advice 
I grafted many Ario-Hybrids last year, i think i will regraft them this year.

Nice plants!

It is quite special. The surface is very rough, almost like a godzilla...
