That's great! I am real interested in astrophytums right now. I lost a bunch of auctions for Astrophytum Asterias seeds but ended up winning an auction for 10 Astrophytum Myriostigma seeds.
One question:
How do you manage to graft something so young as a month to 6 weeks old? Do you superglue it to the pereskiopsis like I've heard some people do or will a rubber band not squish the seedling? Do you put saran wrap over it or some other thing? I'm very curious.

No the sap from the rootstock glues them together.Always use a new razor blade.And i keep them in high rh for a week or two
