Unicorn wood grafted cactus: explanation of grafting technology

Many flower friends know that cactus can graft crab claw orchid. In fact, cactus can also graft its plants for many periods. Grafting is a technical job. As long as you master this skill, it is easy to graft. The following Xiaobian will briefly introduce the method of grafting Kirin with cactus as rootstock. Friends who are interested will come and have a look. Preparation before grafting 1. Sharp thin blade: razor and scalpel can be used. Many grafting Posts require that the blade be disinfected with alcohol with a concentration of more than 70%. If there is no alcohol, it doesn't matter. I directly cut the hypertrophic blade at the lower part with the blade for disinfection and cleaning.

2. Large tweezers: the tweezers are required to be hard. Because the palm leaves of the rootstock are long with a large number of spikes and very slippery, we can't touch and fix them directly with our hands. At this time, a solid large tweezers can replace the fixed cactus to protect your delicate fingers from being stabbed.

3. Rubber band: it is used to fix the connecting Cymbidium, because the juice of cactus as rootstock is easy to dislocation or slip away, and it needs to be fixed with something. The rubber band is the best fixing tool (of course, it can also be replaced by a large clip). Explanation of grafting technology 1. Select a young and healthy palm slice. If it is no more than one year at most, one palm slice can be cut into two rootstocks as needed;

2、 Select a small ball as the scion. Take the super pocket seedling as an example. Cut off the root with a sharp knife, then align the scion with the top of the rootstock, press it tightly, rotate it slightly, and move the bubbles in the wound at the squeeze of the rootstock;

3. Cactus juice is very sticky. Even if the rootstock is inclined, the scion will not fall down. Use a rubber band to fix the rootstock and scion and put them in the dark indoor for a week or more( Since we can't find the relevant pictures, please fill them in by yourself, thank you!) 4、 About 10 days, remove the rubber band. If the palm is too small, it will shrink, but this is normal, and then transplant it into the pot and water it;
