A small knowledge of life, introducing how to graft a monkey tail column and the tips for proper grafting of the monkey tail column, a green plant and flower introduction, please see the detailed introduction below.
The monkey tail column is a popular succulent plant on the internet and is also quite popular in the market, with many people buying it. It belongs to the cactus family and has the same growth habits as a cactus ball, with simple care, fast growth, and not limited by the care environment. It can be planted indoors and outdoors, and the survival rate of the monkey tail column is still very high compared to other succulents.
When buying a monkey tail column in the market, there is no need to buy a large one. A plant about 10-20 centimeters long is enough. Try grafting it at home, and this method can speed up the growth of the monkey tail column. In just one year, a 10cm tall monkey tail column can grow to at least 1m in length.
The purpose of grafting is to make the plant grow faster and propagate better. Grafting with the roots of other plants can enhance the absorption ability of the monkey tail column, speed up its growth, and promote the plant to grow longer and thicker. All the monkey tail columns bought online or in physical markets are also propagated through grafting, so you can also graft them at home.
If you buy a 1m long monkey tail column in the market, the price would at least reach 100 yuan, or even higher. Grafting can save this 100 yuan. A 10cm long monkey tail column costs only a few yuan, and buying a thicker dragon fruit online is also around 4-5 yuan.

Grafting a monkey tail column with dragon fruit can utilize the absorption ability of the dragon fruit to provide sufficient nutrients for the grafted monkey tail column, allowing it to grow better and faster. Indoor care can grow to about 60-70cm, and outdoor care can grow to at least 1m. Grafting in spring can grow to maturity by winter.
Dragon fruit is also a plant from the cactus family, so the two can be grafted together. Cut the dragon fruit with a knife to expose the pith, then cut the monkey tail column into 5cm segments and insert them directly into the pith of the dragon fruit. Secure them with grafting tape, and after securing them, do not expose them to sunlight. Place them in the bathroom and wait for a week before removing the grafting tape.
The grafted monkey tail column can basically heal completely. After the wound has healed, place it in sunlight for care. At the same time, increase watering and supply more water and fertilizer to allow the dragon fruit to absorb more water and nutrients, which will supply the growth of the monkey tail column.
