1. Grafting timeIts grafting is best done in late spring or early autumn, specifically between May and June, and September and October, when the climate and humidity are very favorable for successful grafting. 2. Selecting the rootstockChristmas cactus is a plant belonging to the Cactaceae family, so it is most suitable to use cactus as rootstock for grafting, especially the yellow thorn cactus, which has a high survival rate. 3. Grafting methodUse a sterilized knife to cut horizontally at the top of the cactus. Make sure the knife is sterilized to avoid infection. Use a blade to make a small opening in the cambium. The size of the opening should be similar to the size of the Christmas cactus scion. Then cut the bottom of the scion to expose the white part. After cutting, insert it into the small opening of the cambium and fix it with a clip. 4. Post-maintenanceAfter grafting, keep it in a well-ventilated environment, avoid strong sunlight, and don't rush to water it. If the leaves of the Christmas cactus do not wilt after about ten days, it means that the grafting has been successful. After being grafted with the cactus, its growth rate will be faster and its vitality will be stronger. |
