When it comes to grafting Bougainvillea, I have to mention the Plum Blossom Tree. You know what? Different varieties of plum trees can be grafted with bougainvillea! This is because bougainvillea and plum blossoms both belong to the genus Leafflower of the Mirabilaceae family and have a natural kinship. Therefore, using plum trees as rootstocks for grafting has a quite high success rate! II. The best time for grafting: spring and summer
The best time for grafting of triangular plum is in spring and summer of each year. At this time, the temperature and humidity are just right, which is conducive to the combined growth of the plants and improves the survival rate after grafting. However, the specific grafting time must be adjusted according to your local weather conditions and ecological environment. 3. The "secret" of grafting: When processing branches for grafting bougainvillea, annual branches that grow well and are free from diseases should be selected. If you use two-year-old old branches that have been completely lignified, the survival rate of grafting will be reduced. Next, use a knife to cut the lower end of the branch open, and then you can fit the scion closely with the cut on the rootstock and fix it with tape. In this way, the grafting of bougainvillea will be complete! 4."Care" after grafting: Maintenance and management Within one week after the grafting is completed, there is no need to water bougainvillea to prevent the plants from becoming waterlogged and rotting. After the scion of bougainvillea has sprouted, water can be poured every three days to keep the soil slightly moist and allow the bougainvillea to grow rapidly. When the branches grow to 10cm high, they still need to be pruned to prevent the bougainvillea from growing excessively. 5."New skills" of bougainvillea: One tree with multiple colors Through grafting, bougainvillea can achieve the miracle of multiple colors on one tree. You can choose different colors of bougainvillea for grafting to make your plant life more colorful.
