damn, your mimosa is coming along. I Remember you posted not too long ago, and it they were so much smaller.
Is the big bushy plant in your second post a more mature mimosa?
And how is the grafting method for the cacti you have in the second picture at the bottom with the grafts all along the sides working? Do you notice any faster growth?
Damn do i envy your growing space.

yep the Mimosa's are almost a few feet tall now. Th big bushy one is a 2 year old Acacia Dealbata. Not an entheo but good practice for growing Acacia and Mimosa  I havent noticed any faster growth with Octavius yet but I have a few more to add in yet. The older ones are solidly in there so thats a good sign. I imagine I will see a difference in about 6 months or so though. thanks man

what would you consider the minimum length of a tip cutting that is feasible to put in a pot?

not needed when you lay them down. they will automatically start pupping at the aeroles
