Thanks. I have tried hard to graft the titchy seedlings on Pereskiopsis the last couple of years but failed miserably.
I guess I will have to trust the good Lord to grant me the years ;-)

Don't bother, just keep the seedlings in a warm humid propagator for the first 3 years, by which time they will be about the size of a match head. When they come out they like occasional light watering in the winter. Easy enough on their own roots once you get them big enough.

Once you have a good clump going, they will reproduce themselves, without messing around with a propagator - if you can wait 15 years or so...

I imagine I will have to repot them in about 15 years [emoji3]
