@ZebbMassiv grafting is often used to speed up the process of growing certain types of cacti. Not saying that "San Pedro" does not grow fast enough, but if I did not graft the seedling, it was not as big as it is now. Pereskiopsis provides water/fluid/nutrient much faster as if the Cacti had roots. Later on, when it becomes to big, I will cut off the Pedro and put it in the dirt for growing roots. All in all, it speeds up the process of any type of cacti. Hope this helps! Thanks for your comment
and your lophophora williamsi seems to be etiolated... Give it a little more light incrementally

very impressive. Looks more like peruvianis to me... still a great plant to have a little play around with ;)

@chr1st1an20061 The grafted Cacti was a "Trichocereus pachanoi" and near the end a "peruvianus" indeed.
