This site is great and also has the best info I have found on Grafting.

I would take cuttings after the growing season and i would store cuttings in a dry dark place during the time a cactus is supposed to be dormant... then when spring comes you should find the roots already starting to form and when planted will really take off..

(from what i have heard) hehe

In answer to your question, I dont have the faintest idea!

Now isnt that refreshing?

about grafting, if you are not an expert, i think you also have to ask a cactus knower about the compatibility of the two piece you want to maried.
