What do grafted succulents look like?

Do you all not believe that succulents can be grafted? Yaoyao will first show you some grafting pictures, and you will know at a glance that Yaoyao is definitely not lying!

How to graft succulents? Come and take a look with Yaoyao!

1. Prepare the tools needed for grafting first. Any sharp knife or blade will do, and prepare plastic wrap to seal.

2. Grafting requires selecting a rootstock. The rootstock should have a thick stem, a healthy plant, and be free of diseases and pests. (Today we use Tia, you can also choose other varieties)

3. Use a blade to cut off the head of Tia, making sure the cut surface is flat. Then place it in a cool and ventilated place to allow the wound to dry.

4. Prepare the necessary scion. The scion cannot be chosen randomly. It is best to be from the same family as the rootstock. For example, if the rootstock is Crassulaceae, then the scion should also be from Crassulaceae. Use a knife to chop off the head of the succulent, then dry the wound and set aside.

5. Succulent grafting

Yaoyao will first introduce the top connection method. First, cut the lower end of the scion into a bevel shape, and then use a knife to split the rootstock vertically into a small cut.

Insert the lower end of the scion into the rootstock, making sure that the rootstock and scion fit tightly together so that they can grow together better.

Finally, tie the joints with plastic wrap and place them in a cool and ventilated place to cool for a while. They will basically grow back to life soon.

6. Succulent side grafting

If you are worried that the above grafting will not survive, you can also try side grafting. There is no need to cut the head of the side-grafted rootstock. Just make an oblique cut on the branch with a knife to create the wound.

Then insert the trimmed scion and wrap it with plastic wrap! After grafting, it will basically look like the picture below.

If you take care of it like this after grafting, the survival rate will be 100%!

1. The grafting temperature is above 15°C

For flower lovers who want to try grafting, it is best to ensure that the indoor temperature is above 15°C. If the temperature is too low, it will affect the healing speed of the wound.

2. Place in a cool and ventilated place to cool down after grafting.

For the succulents that have just been grafted, place them in a cool and ventilated place for about a week to allow the wound to heal faster, and then move them to the sun for normal care.
