Multi肉 plant grafting propagation technique
Comprehensively analyzing the content of flower propagation, the grafting propagation technique of Multi肉 plants. Next, the editor of this site will introduce to you.
Grafting is the most common and widely used method for propagating cacti. It has the characteristics of fast propagation, rapid growth, and early flowering, especially suitable for slow-growing, poor-rooted, chlorophyll-deficient, and self-nourishment-lacking white, yellow, red, and other cultivated varieties. Grafting is also used to propagate ornamental, petrified varieties, cultivate new varieties, and save endangered species.
The scions of cacti mainly come from sown seedlings, naturally generated daughter balls on the plants, daughter balls generated by cutting the top of the plant, flat leaf-like stem nodes in epiphytic cacti, warty outgrowths on the stems of some species, natural and artificial mutations of cacti plants including ornamental, petrified, variegated, grafted chimeras, and remaining branches of endangered, rare, and new superior varieties. All scions must be grafted immediately after collection. If they cannot be grafted immediately, they should be temporarily stored in a cool and shady place. If the ball appears to be shriveled or wilted, it can be soaked in clean water until the stem is fully hydrated before grafting.
The selection of rootstocks usually involves choosing species that are easy to propagate, grow rapidly, have developed roots, and strong affinity as rootstocks for grafting cacti. Currently, the most common rootstocks include: Peruvian torch cactus, suitable for large scions;卧long column, suitable for rare and new superior varieties; Argentine woolflower column, known as the "universal rootstock" in Europe, suitable for new varieties;梨 fruit cactus, suitable for grafting蟹claw cactus and false cattleya; short-wool ball, suitable for grafting hard cacti such as星球属 and 岩牡丹属; leaf cactus, suitable for grafting蟹claw cactus and small precious ball species; Trichocereus, the most commonly used rootstock type domestically and internationally, suitable for grafting裸萼球属, 强刺球属 and variegated, ornamental varieties.
The selection of rootstocks also depends on the cultivation purpose. For the purpose of multiplying daughter balls, more columnar rootstocks should be used, as after grafting, the scions grow fast and produce many daughter balls. For ornamental purposes, triangular rootstocks should be plump and compact, with a shorter plant shape, convenient for indoor decoration and appreciation.
The timing for grafting cacti is generally from mid-March to mid-October. In the southern regions, it can be earlier, and in the northern regions, it can be slightly later. From May to September, when the room temperature is between 20-30°C, it is the best season for grafting cacti, with rapid healing and high survival rate.
The commonly used methods for grafting include flat grafting, split grafting, and oblique grafting. These methods are chosen based on the different conditions of the scions and rootstocks. Grafting is not as common in Multi肉 flowers as in cacti and is mainly used in Euphorbiaceae, Asclepiadaceae, and Apocynaceae Multi肉 flowers. It is mainly used to propagate variegated and ornamental varieties. For example, using霸王鞭 as the rootstock to graft 春峰锦, 玉麒麟, 圆锥麒麟, etc.; using 马齿苋树 as the rootstock to graft 雅乐之舞; using 非洲霸王树 as the rootstock to graft 非洲霸王树 ornamental, making the scions grow faster and achieve better ornamental effects. However, during the grafting process, the sap of Euphorbiaceae and Apocynaceae Multi肉 flowers contains white latex, so the operation must be quick and skilled to be successful. The specific operation of grafting is basically the same as that of cacti.
