It would be easier to breed directly for the Fourpetal Maple without trying first for the Citrus Ball Cactus (if you had it, it would help, but it isn't necessary.)

If you had a Citrus Maple, it would also be a an easy one generation cross.

However, from Citrus Maranta & Bluestar Ball Cactus (the other plants you listed won't help in this case, sorry):

  1. Citrus Maranta x Bluestar Ball Cactus = Fragrant Maple
  2. Frgrant Maranta x Bluestar Ball Cactus = Viola Pipe Cactus
  3. Viola Pipe Cactus x Bluestar Ball Cactus = Rosaceae Pear Cactus
  4. Rosaceae Pear Cactus x Viola Pipe Cactus = Viola Pear Cactus
  5. Viola Pear Cactus x Citrus Maranta = Fourpetal Maple
