First time we tried it., but it seems to have gone well - looking forward to them growing quickly (the teacher said most people are really surprised at how fast grafted cacti grow).

How does the grafting work? What’d you do?
Basically you cut the top off the base cactus (rootstock), then cut off a part of the one you want to graft on top(scion), place it properly (there’s a bit of a trick to it), secure it with a bandage or some rubber bands and wait for about a week until they fuse.
That’s basically it - it really is pretty simple as long as you know what you’re doing.
