If you want to improve the grafting survival rate, you should pay attention to the grafting time. The grafting time should be selected when both scions and rootstocks grow vigorously, and when the body fluid is sufficient.
The grafting temperature should be 20 ~ 25 ℃, so as to ensure the survival rate of growth.
In addition, in the northern region, the survival rate of grafting is the highest from spring to early summer.
To carry out the grafting of Christmas Cactus, is generally to choose a ruler or a piece of cactus as the rootstock for grafting propagation, the most commonly used is to use the piece of cactus as the rootstock for grafting Christmas Cactus, so the survival rate will be higher
When using the ruler to graft, it needs to be planted in a flowerpot with a height of 20cm, and then cut the cuttings of the branches of the Christmas Cactus at a height of 30cm above the surface of the flowerpot. When grafting, it needs to use a knife to cut 1 knife in the downward direction of the three corners of the ruler, and the incision should reach the pith, and then take down the stem slices at the top of the Christmas Cactus plant about 2 ~ 3 knots..
Then use a knife to cut off the main vein protruding upward from the lower end and the outer skin on both sides. The cutting mouth should be smooth, and then immediately insert the cutting of the Rootstock to the xylem.
After the Christmas Cactus is connected, the transparent plastic bag can be used to cover the scion, but pay attention not to tie the lower end of the plastic bag too tightly, and then put it in a place with good ventilation and light for maintenance.
Basin soil is wet, do not water frequently.
