Saw a TikTok that said cacti grafting helps succulents grow super fast. Is this really the case?

I've heard of cactus grafting where people put a decorative cactus on top of a hardy rootstock, but I'm not sure if it would make it grow faster. I suppose that's possible, but I think people do it just for aesthetic reasons. Getting it to grow faster isn't really the purpose. That would be fun to experiment with. I've propagated plants from cuttings, but I've never actually grafted anything.

It can. If you use the roots from a faster-growing species, it can accelerate the growth of a slower-growing species grafted on top. This technique is used in commercial agriculture in both directions: dwarf fruit trees are made by using "dwarfing" root stock, whereas on tomatoes it's common to use a more vigorous rootstock to increase overall plant vigor.

The trick is compatibility. Same-species grafts are practically guaranteed, and same-genus is pretty common. This is what allows trees with mixed apples and pears, or mixed lemons and limes. But cross-genus is much less common, and cross-family is extremely rare. You're not going to be grafting Aeonium (family Crassulaceae) onto Optunia (family Cactaceae).

Be skeptical of claims of success when the species are not closely related. A photo/video of a healed graft is not proof the graft was successful. It is possible for a graft to heal up, but with a disorganized mass of cells instead of a vascular connection. This will allow nutrients and water to diffuse through to some extent, so the scion won't immediately die, but its growth will be severely restricted by the inefficient connection and the joint is fragile and may be broken by the differing growth rates.

This is what is most likely to happen if you try to graft peppers, Capsicum, onto tomato, Solanum (both family Solanaceae), for example.

Definitely something I am not willing to experiment with yet I love my succulents too much and barely started successfully propagating. Thanks for the information good to know for future experiments

Been hitting the gym for around 9 years. Today I had a trial session with a personal trainer and I enjoyed it. It was my first time ever working with one. I’m wondering if paying 500$ per month is worth it? I saw great results when I was working out by myself so I’m not sure if it’s worth to pay so much. Thoughts?

I am moving to Bangalore the next weekend. Seems there is a slight increase in Covid cases, would it be better to come now or should I ask my manager to allow me to come to office after some weeks once everything seems fine?

Does anyone know what’s going on with my philodendron? I’ve had this plant for years and just recently got it to start producing new leaves again and all the new ones have these lighter spots, but all the old growth is just a solid dark green like the leaf in the background. Good thing, bad thing, or just a thing that happens? Anyone have some insight?
