Pereskiopsis spathulata – Cactus Grafting Stock & Rootstock

The Pereskiopsis spathulata is an essential cactus for growers and collectors, widely known as the best rootstock for grafting seedlings. With its rapid growth rate and high success rate for grafting, this versatile species is the preferred choice for propagating rare, slow-growing, or delicate cacti.

Unlike most cacti, Pereskiopsis has green, leafy stems that allow it to photosynthesize efficiently and provide fast growth for grafted plants. It is especially popular for boosting seedlings of species like Lophophora, Astrophytum, and Ariocarpus, giving them a strong start and encouraging vigorous development.

Easy to grow in pots or greenhouses, Pereskiopsis thrives in warm temperatures, bright indirect light, and well-draining soil. With minimal care, it can quickly establish into a healthy, branching plant ready for grafting.
