Graphting Lophorora williamsii to a succulent

I was wondering. I have several small Lophorora williamsii sprouts, about a month old or so. I was wondering if it is possible to graft it to a succulent. The leaves look very similar pereskiopsis and the plant does have an inner ring from what i could see when i made the cutting. Any advice for grafting? Will this work? Also any advice for rooting a succulent. I am currently doing it in water with a little rooting compound. Looks very similar to this

No it won't take. You have to graft a cactus to a cactus, grafting to a succulent doesn't work.

pereskiopsis is a cactus not a suculent. cacti grafts into suculents won't take.

I have a load of pereskiopsis, 3 different species of it. It is a cactus because it has areoles.

O.P.-- Don't try it, get some Pereskiopsis, and watch them grow grow grow!

Cactus can only graft to another cactus. A cactus cannot graft to a succulent like the one in your picture because it's not a cactus.
Everyone agreed.

I'd like to point out that all cactus are succulents but not all succulents are cactus to confuse things a little.

they're too far related, i can't really explain in scientifical terms, but it is something like that:
cacti can be grafted to cacti because they're all 'similar' in genus, suculents are other genus, you can't graft them cause they're 'too far apart', get it?
similar plants can be grafted together, i wouldn't know the perfect rule to tell you though.

I think it has something to do with the lack of an aperical meristem on succulents, which a cactus grows from.

apical meristem?
apical meristem would be just the growing tip of a plant, i think you mean the 'ring' in the middle, i wouldn't know about that though.
btw, grafting is also possible on trees and such so it is not limited to cacti, therefore observations based only on such genus are not solid.
