Probably one of the things i desired most, and now i finally have it
Notocactus/Parodia Werdemannianus monstrose , grafted.
 
As you see, it is pupping a lot, so i immediately wanted to try a graft, on a Myrtillocactus, i used the superglue method, hoping it works fine. now it's under a half bottle with some droplets of water in the walls to keep it in humidity for some days.

My goal right now is to propagate it trought grafts, and when i'll have a decent amount of grafts, i may want to root it.
For the ones who don't know this plant, it'a a very strange monstrose, that devlops line areoles and has a harder skin than normal cacti, so it tends to crack open, expecially when overwatered. this exemplar shows 2 really intresting traits : circular and spiral areole from the growing point, as you would see from a Eulychnia Castanea monstose.

Cacti do love sun. 
Overwinter growth :

New growth since it's outdoors :

Which one looks the most beautiful ? Sunlight growth ! They are much more spiny, thick and ribbed than that "thing" that grew during the winter under a lamp. !

Three different Rhipsalis grafted to Pereskiopsis. Really starting to take off now, I'm excited to see how these do, and what they will end up looking like.

My Mammilopsis senilis. I am excited to see this plant bloom some day.. this is my second year owning this plant..its starting to go from ball shape to elongate. I am crossing fingers that its a sign, that it might start making pups or start "clustering" from roots. Time will tell.
