Break off a willow branch and soak it in water. Use it to soak Christmas cactus. The survival rate of cuttings will be higher!

Let Huahua see, autumn is the best time for cuttings and grafting. Huahua has long wanted to graft the Christmas cactus at home so that the Christmas cactus can grow better and bloom more vigorously! Many people may say that whether it is cuttings or grafting, there are actually certain risks. If you don’t handle it well, the plants may not survive, which is a bit like "losing both the wife and the army."

Don’t worry, today Huahua will tell you some tips to keep the Christmas cactus alive before cuttings and grafting.

In fact, it is not difficult, as long as we soak it in "water". Of course it’s not ordinary water. Let’s see what kind of water it is!

People who often grow flowers must know about aspirin, right? For those of you who may not know this, let me give you some basic information. Aspirin contains ingredients that can make plants grow quickly. It can accelerate the growth of plants and speed up the rooting speed of Christmas cactus, so that the survival rate will be higher.

Aspirin actually has another function, which is to disinfect and preserve the branches of plants. You know, if the branches are rotten and infected, it will be difficult to deal with. Soaking the plants in aspirin before cutting or grafting has many benefits.

In addition to aspirin, there is another kind of water that can help Christmas cactus take root quickly. This water is the water soaked with willow branches. Many people may not know this well. In fact, willow trees contain a substance called salicylic acid, which can promote the growth of Christmas cactus. After the willow branches are soaked in water, the water will naturally contain some salicylic acid in it. At this time, it is best for us to use it to soak the branches of Christmas cactus. As long as it can increase the survival rate of Christmas cactus, it is worth the effort!

Christmas cactus will be easier to survive if it is soaked in these two kinds of water before grafting, and then you can graft the Christmas cactus. Before grafting, you should do the corresponding homework and graft the plants with the correct techniques and methods, which will protect your grafting.

The above is some little knowledge that Huahua shared with you. If you are planning to do a cutting or grafting on a plant recently, you might as well try this method. These two tips are just some of the experiences of flower lovers, so you can rest assured! Finally, I hope everyone’s Christmas cactus flowers will bloom vigorously!
