Grafting is a very good agronomic technique and gardening skill. This technical operation is very common in both fruit tree planting and flower planting. Below I will introduce to you the method of grafting Christmas cactus onto jade plant. Method of grafting Christmas cactus on jade tree 1. Choose the rootstock Choose a healthy, vigorously growing jade plant as the rootstock and cut a branch about 10-15 cm long. 2. Handling the rootstock Flatten the cut jade branches to expose the wood, then cut a T-shaped incision in the wood with a depth of about 1-2 cm. 3. Choose scion Choose healthy Christmas cactus branches, cut a branch about 5-7 cm in length, and retain 2-3 leaves. 4. Handling the scion Flatten the cut Christmas cactus branches to expose the xylem, then cut a V-shaped incision in the xylem that matches the incision of the rootstock, with a depth of about 1-2 cm. 5. Grafting Insert the Christmas cactus scion into the T-shaped cut of the rootstock so that the two fit tightly together, and then use plastic film or grafting tape to secure the scion and rootstock together. 6. Post-management The grafted jade plant and Christmas cactus need to be placed in a ventilated, humid, semi-shaded environment, avoiding direct sunlight. Keep the soil moist, but not too wet, to avoid rot of the scion and rootstock. If the scion does not wither within 2-3 weeks after grafting, it means the grafting is successful.
