The first step of flower falling dance grafting: selecting Rootstocks

Celestial ruler

The ruler of heaven, that is, what we call triangular column and triangular arrow, is a universal rootstock. It is basically compatible with most cactus plants, and the grafting survival rate is as high as 99%. Many flower friends use it to graft their own falling flower dance. It will grow very well

Leaf cactus

Although the leaf cactus was introduced and cultivated from South America, it can grow well in many parts of China. Huayou also found its rootstock function! So, in addition to growing beautifully on the balcony, it can also help you graft a pot of fresh falling flower dance

Grafting method of falling flower dance

Top connection

It doesn't matter whether it's old or young to use a three edged arrow as an anvil. The tender three edged arrow can be cut horizontally from the top to expose the marrow core. Generally speaking, the smaller the marrow core, the better. Cut it vertically and gently from anywhere in the marrow core

The selection of scions is very important. We must select a narrow, long and thick stem and leaf on the adult plant, two or three pieces can be used. Such leaves are easy to cut, cut gently from bottom to top, and form a wedge

Quickly insert the cut blade into the incision of the triangular prism, and then fix it with the thorn of the cactus

Side edge connection method

When connecting from the side edge, the knife must be inserted from the stab seat, cut 45 ° to the center, and cut gently to avoid cutting the medullary core. When inserting a small crab from the incision, it must be deep to the medullary core

It doesn't matter if the rootstock is too thick to insert into the center. Because there is also a pith core in the middle of the pith core channel at the thorn base, the purpose of the 45 ° angle knife is to interlace the formation of the falling flower dance with the formation layer of the rootstock, so that the combination of the two is very good
