Method of grafting Kalanchoe to take root

1. Time Selection

The time for grafting is around February or March in spring, when the temperature is just right. The temperature outside can be stabilized at above 15 degrees Celsius and the temperature is gradually warming up. This is a good time for grafting. However, do not do it on a cloudy day. It is best to do it in clear weather, which is good for the recovery of the plant.

2. Choose branches

Choose a healthy plant and use a sharp knife to cut strong branches from it, keeping the length to about 5 cm. Make a V-shaped incision at the root and place it in a cool place to dry the incision.

3. Choosing the rootstock

Because it has strong vitality and adaptability, it is very suitable for grafting. Cut off the top of the stock flatly with a knife, then cut a V-shaped cut at the top with a knife and place it in a cool place to dry.

4. Start grafting

Remove the leaves from the lower end of the scion and the upper end of the rootstock, then hold one end of the scion in one hand and insert it into the rootstock, making sure it is inserted firmly and tightly. Wrap it with film on the outside, wrap it several times to ensure it will not get loose. After a while, when the two grow closely together, remove the outer film.
