Grafting time should be timely

If you want to improve the grafting survival rate, you should pay attention to the grafting time. The grafting time should be selected when the scion and rootstock grow vigorously and when the liquid in its body is sufficient

The grafting temperature should be 20 ~ 25 ℃, so as to ensure the growth and survival rate

In addition, in the northern region, the grafting survival rate is the highest from spring to early summer

The rootstock should be suitable

The crab claw orchid to be grafted is generally grafted and propagated with a measuring ruler or a sheet cactus as an rootstock. The most commonly used is to graft the crab claw orchid with a sheet cactus as an rootstock, so that the survival rate will be higher

The position of grafting should be reasonable

When grafting with a ruler, it is necessary to plant it in a flower pot 20 cm high, and then cut the branches and cuttings of the crab claw 30 cm above the basin surface. When grafting, use a knife to cut one knife in the downward direction at the three corners of the ruler. The incision should reach the pith, and then remove about 2 ~ 3 segments of the stem at the top of the crab claw plant

Then use a knife to cut off the main vein protruding upward at the lower end and the outer skin on both sides. The cutting mouth should be smooth, and then immediately insert the rootstock into the xylem

Subsequent management

After the crab claw orchid is connected, you can use a transparent plastic bag to cover the scion, but pay attention not to tie the lower end of the plastic bag too tightly, and then put it in a place with good ventilation and light for maintenance

The basin soil can be wet, and do not water frequently< span>
