How to graft cactus with fairy finger? Which cactus variety is best?

1. How to graft cactus with fairy finger

1. Prepare the scion: prepare a pot of well-growing cactus, cut a semi-lignified branch from it, and cut off all the tender leaves on it as the scion. Then prepare a sharp knife and cut a cut on each side of the bottom of the scion to make it into a wedge shape. Be careful not to cut too deep when peeling, just enough to expose the white cambium layer.

2. Grafting: Prepare a pot of well-growing cactus as the rootstock. Use a knife to make a horizontal slanting cut inward above the cactus's areole. Then insert the prepared scion with the bottom facing down into the cut just made, and tie a rope around it to secure it.

3. Later maintenance: After grafting, place it in a warm place and keep it ventilated. Water it appropriately to keep the soil slightly moist, and after about 20 days, the scion will survive and start growing.

2. What kind of cactus is best for grafting cactus fingers?

When grafting cactus fingers with cactus fingers, you can use a more common variety of cactus as the rootstock. Because cactus has strong growth capabilities and is closely related to the fairy finger, it is easy for it to survive after grafting. However, when choosing a rootstock, it is recommended to choose one with thicker leaves. Such rootstocks grow well and the scion is more likely to survive after grafting.
