Cactus / fissuratus

This plant is Ariocarpus fissuratus f Big Bend. I assume the origianl habitat is Big Bend National Park near Rio Grande in Texas. This form has shallower gathers than the normal form.
I bought seeds and sowed on 31/08/03. This also was grafted the seedling and degrafted with a short vascular bandles. It is difficult to degraft fissuratus because the liquid running out from body would never stop when you cut a part of body.
