1. Grafting timeIt is best to graft cactus onto Christmas cactus in late spring and early summer or late summer and early autumn, specifically between May and September. At this time, the temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees. The suitable temperature allows the grafted part to heal faster, has a higher survival rate, and promotes flowering. 2. Grafting methodWhen grafting, choose a sturdy rootstock and be careful not to make it too tender. The scion should be cut from a slightly woody mother plant. After removing it, use a blade to cut the bottom side into a wedge shape, leaving the white part exposed. Then make a horizontal cut on the cactus leaf, and insert the knife two centimeters deep along the cut to make the cut into a V shape. Then insert the processed scion, pinch it gently, and clamp it with a small clip. 3. Maintenance after graftingAfter the grafting is completed, place it in a ventilated and cool place. Do not expose it to the sun immediately to avoid sunburn. If the plant does not wither after about half a month, it proves that it has survived. During this period, be careful not to let the grafted area get wet, and control the temperature, which should be above 20 degrees. If it is a low temperature environment, cover it with a plastic bag to keep it warm. After the plant has taken root, be sure to apply fertilizer in moderation. Only with sufficient nutrients can it grow faster and more vigorously. |
