How to breed fairy fingers

1. Cutting

1. There are not many restrictions throughout the year, but it will be better in spring and autumn. If you care for it during this period, the chance of survival will be higher and the growth will be more favorable.

2. It is best to choose two-year-old cuttings. Such branches are not too tender, but they are not old branches either. They need to be in strong and good growth condition. Cut off 2-4 branches and place them in a cool environment to dry for a while. After the cut part is healed and dry, it can be used for subsequent cuttings.

3. Insert the dried branches into clean plain sand. Do not water them immediately after the cuttings are completed. The application of water needs to be controlled. Keep the temperature at 20-25℃ and roots will take shape soon.

2. Grafting

1. Spring and autumn are the most suitable seasons. The rootstocks are generally cacti, prickly pear or octopus, and short and strong stem nodes are selected.

2. Remove the thorns on the rootstock, make a longitudinal cut on it, then cut the lower part of the cutting into a wedge shape, insert it into the cut, and secure it.

3. Then put it in a cool and dry place. No water is needed in the first week. Apply water after it has adapted.
