Green Leaf麒麟 Grafted Cactus
The editor is here to answer netizens' questions about the cultivation of Green Leaf麒麟 flowers at home. Let's take a look at the grafting of Green Leaf麒麟 onto the cactus, shall we?
There are many rootstocks to choose from for grafting cacti. This article mainly uses the grafting of Green Leaf麒麟 onto the cactus as an example. Flower enthusiasts should know that each rootstock has its own advantages and disadvantages, but they all share one common point: they cannot make the scion grow rapidly and permanently. For instance, when a cactus becomes lignified, the growth rate of the scion will significantly slow down.
In fact, there are no special skills in grafting. This article mainly discusses several key points that flower enthusiasts should pay attention to during the grafting process:
First, the selection of rootstock individuals
If grafting a cactus with Green Leaf麒麟 compared to the leaf cactus, the lignification of Green Leaf麒麟 is not very good, and the tip easily breaks during grafting. Therefore, when choosing the rootstock, it should be selected with a stem diameter of 0.5CM or more, with a relatively grayish-white color, as we are grafting onto the cactus, so it can be slightly more relaxed because the cactus is not very heavy.
Second, trimming the interface of the rootstock stem
This is relatively simple. Use a sharp blade to make a cut about 1 centimeter long in the middle of the rootstock (this depth should match the length of the cactus stem after treatment).
Third, the treatment of scion (cactus)
Select a healthy, green, and disease-free cactus mother plant, cut the top 2 to 4 nodes of one-year-old branches as scions. Use a blade to remove 1/4 to 1/3 of the bottom, exposing the white xylem, making both sides even and forming a wedge shape. When cutting, it is best to make one cut, avoid repeated cutting.
Fourth, management after grafting
After grafting, for most flower enthusiasts, using plastic wrap or string to secure the wound and placing it in a cool and well-ventilated area is enough, actually, it is quite simple. Flower enthusiasts can try their hand at it!
