In general, the grafting of Christmas Cactus was carried out from May to October in the South and from May to September in the north. The temperature of grafting should be kept at 20 - 25 ℃, which can promote the healing of grafting parts, thus improving the survival rate.
1. Choose rootstock: cactus can be used as rootstock for Christmas Cactus grafting, but ox tongue is better. Its supporting power is very big, after grafting, it can hang down naturally.
2. Treatment of scion: when grafting, you can use a sharp knife. First, cut both sides of the bottom section of the scion into the shape of a duck's beak. It's better to cut them all in one piece to improve the survival rate. Cut them at the top of the rootstock with a knife. The blade should be larger than the cutting face of the scion..
3. Grafting: after the scion and rootstock are treated, insert the scion into the cut of the rootstock and fix it for a while by hand. Cross the cactus and the thorn, connect it together, or fix it with tools.
4. Grafting maintenance: after grafting, put it in a cool and ventilated place. Don't get drenched. Don't pour it on the interface when watering. It usually survives in 20-30 days.
