Pereskiopsis Health Questions
    #23140920 -

Hello, I am very new to to gardening and I was hoping to start with some cacti. For now all I have is pereskiopsis diguetii which is pretty much the same thing as pereskiopsis spathulata except it grows hairs at the areole. There is a seller on the popular auction site that is selling pereskiopsis diguetii labeled as Pereskiopsis Spathulata,so buyer beware. Anyway, I had a rough time at the start since I under watered them and I attempted to sterilize the soil with heat and unbeknownst to me perlite releases toxic amounts of fluoride under high temperatures. So my plants have been through a lot in the first few weeks I've had them, but most of them are doing very well. However, two of them started rotting at the ends. I cut both rotten ends off with a very sharp knife, but I still have two questions. One, is there any hope for this little bit to turn into a plant? Second, should I cut the yellow part of this plant off as well?
tl;dr
Should I bother trying to grow the small thing and do I need to cut the yellow part off?

That will likely still root. Just stick it in some semi-moist soil and forget about it. Pereskiopsis roots like a beast.

does pereskiopsis diguetii not graft as well, or grow slower?

Its relatively the same. Although if youre not careful that hair can mess with the grafts. Ive done both.

As far as I can tell they grow at about the same speed, but I don't have a spathulata to compare to. The only problem is the false advertisement, I don't want my money back or anything. He's actually a cool guy since he sent me one extra cutting, so I'm not complaining. I suppose I'll get some spathulata cuttings at some point, but from what I've heard they're about the same. If you search diguetii on  this forum you can hear about some of the experiences of other people. Here's a close up of my healthiest plant.

Thanks for the clarification guys, I have pereskiopsis diguetii , so wanted to make sure.  They have been slow to grow outside, but as soon as I put some under the T-8 lights they instantly started kicking out leaves at the top.

I ended up cutting the yellow part off since it was spreading and though I planted the yellow piece it seems to just be rotting so I will be throwing it away. However, I believe this was a good move as there is some decent new growth on my now very short pereskiopsis. Also for the small little piece I think some roots are growing, but I can't be sure. I'll update on that if anything comes up with a picture.
