Grafting method of red flower

Bud grafting of red flower successor

Stock treatment

If the rootstock needs to be peeled off, first make a "T"-shaped incision at the appropriate position of the rootstock, with the depth being appropriate to cut through the phloem. It is necessary to select excellent rootstocks with well-developed root systems and vigorous branch and leaf growth. It is advisable to use strong, full, disease- and insect-free 1-2 year old branches as scion. The branches of the rootstock and scion should be of similar thickness, or it is better if the branches of the rootstock are slightly thicker.

Scion cutting

First of all, you need a skilled cutting method. Make a horizontal cut above the bud, about 0.5 cm above the bud, and then make an upward slanting cut 1.0 cm below the bud so that the two cuts meet. At this time, use your right hand to pick up the bud piece. It requires skilled techniques, quick movements, sharp knives, smooth cut surfaces, aligned cambium layers, firm binding, and moisturizing interfaces. To ensure success, try to graft as many branches as possible.

Joining operation

Insert the shield-shaped bud into the "T"-shaped incision, align the upper end of the bud with the upper end of the "T"-shaped incision, and then tie it up with a plastic strip. After the grafting is completed, the scion and the joint can be covered with a plastic bag to keep it moist.

Cutting grafting of red flower

Spring and autumn are the best times for grafting. Similarly, choose full branches and choose the flat side as the long cut side. After cutting, wrap them with a strip of film and put a film bag on the upper part of the scion to isolate it from the dry air, thereby increasing the survival rate of the grafting and prolonging the grafting period.

The above is the grafting method of red flowered sempervivum. After grafting, you must pay attention to bagging to keep moist and shading to protect against the sun, so as to increase the survival rate of grafting. I believe that through the above method, you will be able to successfully graft red flowered sempervivum.
