Cactus / kotschoubeyanus

I have tried a special degrafting method.
The method is attached a short, 10 mm pereskiopsis stock with a scion and bury the stock into the pottingmix. Roots come out from pereskiopsis and the scion relies on the buried stock initially. Roots come out eventually from the scion and died the stock.

I started the trial last year using 3 Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus but I added 10 more scions 2 days ago.
The photo is one of them.
