Hello,

This is Haroon Mughal from Lahore, Pakistan. This is my 1st post here although I've been lurking around for long.

I have a small collection of cacti and succulents (lil above 400) and I'm into the hobby for the last 5 years or so. I have been fascinated by the tales of grafting seedling on Pereskioposis, the blame is mainly with the great growers on this forum. Laughing

I got this plant after years of searching and I'm really looking forward to a great grafting season. But I'm not really sure if that's pereskiopsis Embarassed ..
Would be great if the species could also be identified.

Is this pereskiopsis? 039

Is this pereskiopsis? 037

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello Haroon,
Good of you to post. I can most definitely say that is pereskiopsis, I would recognize those annoying little spines anywhere.
Good luck with the grafting!! Enjoy.

Thanks a lot crypto.
It has finally started to warm up a little after the winters. Just waiting for the min temperatures to go in double digits and I'll start cutting the plant into bits and pieces and get a bunch of cuttings rooted for grafting.

Hi all,

Someone else on another forum has mentioned the possibility of this plant being "Quiabentia Zehntneri". I am a bit confused. Would really appreciate if this could be confirmed.
Another thing, can Quiabentia Zehntneri (if it is that plant at all) be used for grafting?

Regards,
Mughal

Hi there i agree with crypto that is definitely pereskiopsis. I have never tried grafting onto Quiabentia Zehntneri but i am sure it should be OK, if i had it i would give it a go. Very Happy

I agree with everyone your plant is:

Pereskiopsis Spatulata, it is also

Quiabentia Zehntneri


As far as I am aware the two names a synonymous I.E they are the same plant with a different name.

That's new for me HN. Actually that prompted me to do some research and I am surprised to know how closely these plants are related.

From desert-tropicals,

Pereskia zehntneri synonym of Quiabentia zehntneri
Pereskia higuerana synonym of Pereskiopsis spathulata

From the images I have seen in the search results, the dark radial spines seem to be characteristic of Pereskiopsis spathulata. Anyway, I'm gonna give it a try and if the luck is by my side, will get good results with grafting.

Thanks for the efforts guys.
