Grafting crab cactus can be used as rootstock grass ball, grass ball adaptability is very strong, very solid.However, there are also shortcomings, the growth rate after grafting is relatively slow, it is difficult to shape.Usually we often use cactus to graft, the survival rate is high, and the growth rate is fast.In addition, Ye Xian can also be used for grafting, but it is easy to dormancy when the temperature is low, while the flowering period of Crab Claw Orchid is in winter, so it is best to use in warm areas in the south.
It is recommended that the grafting be carried out at the end of spring or the beginning of autumn, specifically between May and June and between September and October, when the temperature and humidity are suitable for survival.Pay attention to the time not too late, otherwise the summer temperature is high, the wound is easy to infect.In winter, the temperature is low, and the wound is difficult to recover.
The method of grafting after choosing a good rootstock is very simple.For example, if you use cactus as rootstock, first cut the top with a knife, pay attention to disinfection before use.After cutting, a small opening should be made in the cambium area, which is similar to the size of the scion.After treatment, the bottom of the scion is peeled to expose white.Finally, insert the treated small opening and fix it with a clip.
In order to survive better after grafting, attention should also be paid to management methods.Should be placed in a ventilated place, can not be anxious to bask in strong light, can not be anxious to water, about 10 days when the silver does not wilt, it shows success.
