Cactus / grafting

When you graft a cacti, the scion may show a differnt appearance from the original one. It depends upon the type of stocks.
The growing speed will be higher normally but flowering also depends upon the type of stocks.

The photo is a grafted Astrophytum asterias hanazono kabuto x superkabuto on jusbertii. This stock gives a high growing speed, earlier flowering and many flowers but the appearance is not normall. The white flecks are exaggerated.
