@DRCEVNL oh i just took a baby off of the mother plant and grafted it on. should that work?

[DRCEVNL]

@momovomo Did you take a tubercle. If thes plants normallu sprout from the top of a tubercle it should work

[momovomo]

@DRCEVNL awesome!! i found some opuntia in my greenhouse, so i tried grafting some hibotan (?)/ the one that has no chlorophyll on to it. do you think it will survive?

[DRCEVNL]

@momovomo yes. But that is an exception, normally it takes much longer. I don't know why this one did so exceptionally well. Maybe it had already a sleeping sprout and was grafted just a the right spot.
