Slab Grafting Trichocereus Cactus

Using the "slab" method of grafting to attach a T. macrogonus "Big Mac" mid cut to a Trichocereus PC pachanoi.
Why do this? Two reasons.

Why sacrifice the growth of one cactus for another? I have tons of PC and they aren't really good for much other than being ornamental and even then they are common and not that desirable or expensive. So it's worth it to graft on a much more desirable named cactus clone to the already existing PC.

The second is instead of sticking the cut in soil and waiting for it to root, grafting the desired cut to another fast growing already established cactus will cause much quicker growth. The scion (the macrogonus) will use the roots of the root stock (the PC) to provide water and nutrients.

All trichocereus can be grafted to other trichocereus. You can even graft Trichocereus to a few other kinds of cactus and succulent like plants and vice versa.

Hope this helps you get the gist of it. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments.
