Grafting Cacti 
Grafting of cacti is used as a novelty and also to speed up the 
growth of slow growing plants. There is no limit to the number of oddi- 
ties and attractive plants that may be produced through grafting. The 
well known Christmas Cactus and the Peanut Cactus respond better to 
grafting than most of the others. Grafted Christmas cacti have been 
known to produce more than a hundred beautiful blossoms. The simplest 
and most practical graft is known as the flat graft. Using a sharp, clean 
knife, cut off the top of the scion with a flat, horizontal cut... also cut 
the stock plant in a like manner and quickly place the two together; 
holding in place firmly with several small rubber bands. Lemaireocereus 
prunosis, Cereus peruvianus, Nyctocereus serpentinus and various 
Opuntias are better types to use as stock plants.
