Let those roots keep popping. That pere will give up the ghost in 12 months and which will leave you with a healthy set of roots to let it take off on its own.

It’s fine.
Either way you wanna go.
I leave mine, have one thats almost rooted in the soil and still attached to the graftstock đ

Usually if a graft is shooting out roots it means itâs not getting the nutrients it needs from the stock..which is the beginning of a failing graft

Usually when you graft big cacti on Pereskiopsis, you get this occurs v after a while. The tip of the plant produces rooting hormone (auxins), and auxins are influenced by gravity so they make their way down to the base of the rootstock where they tell the root system how much it should grow. Some of them get stuck at the graft union.
Itâs helpful because itâs easier to degraft the plant later when you may want to. Since it happens on virtually all of my impale grafts and none have ever failed for me, I would not say it indicates pending graft failure.
