"Christen Cacti" does a little work in the house in winter, and it grows into an old stump that is very different, with branches full of flower buds!

This method is grafting. Friends with some experience should all know about grafting, right? It is similar to cuttings, but cuttings are for plant reproduction, while grafting is to give the plants a better body shape. If you want to graft Christmas cactus successfully, the first condition is the right temperature. The most suitable temperature for Christmas cactus grafting is around 20 degrees Celsius. If you want to graft it in winter, you can only move the plant back to the warm indoor room.

After the temperature environment is determined, we need to determine the scion and rootstock. The scion refers to the branches of Christmas cactus. When choosing a scion, you must choose a relatively healthy and sturdy scion, and it cannot be an older branch. The success rate of grafting older branches will be lower. Basically, when we choose scion, we will choose annual branch Christmas cactus.

The rootstock is the place where the Christmas cactus is grafted. The rootstock should be a plant with strong supporting ability and belong to the same family as the Christmas cactus. The most typical grafting combination of Christmas cactus is with cactus. The base of the cactus is stronger and better supported, making it more suitable for Christmas cactus grafting.

The grafting method is to insert the Christmas cactus scion into the rootstock, and be sure to clamp it with a clamp. This will provide human support and is also of great help to the growth of the Christmas cactus. After grafting, place it in a cool place for a few days to stabilize the growth of the Christmas cactus. Wait until the wound is almost healed before placing the plant in the sun for normal growth.

Grafting Christmas cactus is not that difficult. If you are a little tired of growing Christmas cactus, you can try grafting it. The plants that grow out are really interesting! I hope everyone will be interested in the grafting of Christmas cactus and graft a unique Christmas cactus by themselves!

After talking so much, I wonder if you are interested in the grafting of Christmas cactus? If you are interested, try it indoors! It’s okay if you don’t try it now, you can wait until the weather is a little warmer!
