In this way, the impatiens can bloom flowers of multiple colors.

Grafting method of red safflower

When grafting a impatiens, you can use the grafting method, choose a suitable rootstock, use a knife to remove the epidermis, about 1 cm, and when the length is about 5 cm, you can see the xylem.

The scion needs to be as thick as the cut rootstock. Align the scion and the rootstock, then stick them together and tie them with thread. Cover the diseased soil with a plastic bag and tie the bag. Covering with plastic bags can reduce air pollution and maintain higher humidity.

The grafted impatiens can be placed in a relatively cool place with good ventilation. After about a week, the plastic bag can be removed. After the scion survives, remove the binding wire and place it in a place with sufficient light for maintenance.
