1. Can it be grafted?Dragon bone is a succulent plant of the Euphorbiaceae family, while Christmas cactus is a plant of the Cactaceae family. The two cannot be grafted together. However, the Opuntia odorata of the Cactaceae family has an alias called Opuntia odorata, so the grafted rootstock is actually Opuntia odorata. This point must be made clear, otherwise the grafting will not survive. 2. Grafting process1. Rootstock treatment: Select a healthy Oleander with a thicker stem to provide a certain amount of support. Cut it shorter, leaving only about 20-30 cm above the potting soil. Then flatten the top and cut along its edges, but don't cut to the outside and damage its skin. 2. Cuttings processing: Take a plump Christmas cactus leaf. Use a sterilized knife to remove the skin from the bottom and cut it into wedges to make the fit tighter. 3. Grafting: Insert the bottom of the Christmas cactus leaf into the cut of the rootstock, allowing the wound to fit fully. You can use a needle to string the two together to prevent them from detaching. However, it should be fried a little bit off to avoid affecting its growth. 4. Subsequent maintenance: Place it in a cool place after grafting and do not water it to prevent the wound from rotting due to water. It will heal in about ten days, and then you can put it in a sunny place and wait for new leaves to grow. |
