How to graft keel

1. Cutting time

The best time for dragon bone cuttings is from May to September every year. It is suitable for cuttings when the average temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. It is best not to do cuttings when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius, because the temperature is high and the wound is prone to infection and difficult to heal.

2. Cuttings

Choose a plant in good growth condition, cut 5-6 cm branches from the top as cuttings, cut them with a sharp knife, and control the length to about 20-25 cm. Because slurry will flow out of the wound, apply wood ash on the cut to prevent infection, then put the wound aside to dry it in the sun. After the wound is completely dry, you can start cuttings.

3. Preparation of matrix

It is a plant that is easy to grow and can survive in general substrates, but loose loam is more conducive to its growth. You can prepare loose humus soil, which is not conducive to water accumulation and has a higher survival rate.

4. Take cuttings

Insert the selected scion into the substrate. You can also insert multiple plants together, but pay attention to the size of the container. After the cuttings are completed, water them and place them in a semi-shaded environment. Water them in small amounts after about a week, and do not water them unless the soil is dry. Wait for 30-40 days for them to take root.
