Can rubber trees be grafted? What can rubber trees be grafted with

Can rubber trees be grafted? You read that right! In this way, you can cultivate a rubber tree with unique leaves!

Rubber trees can not be grafted with other trees, grafted tree species are not easy to survive, when maintaining rubber trees, you need to control the ambient temperature between 18 degrees and 25 degrees, you also need to spray water on the leaves of rubber trees when the weather is hot, to maintain plant humidity, but also need to change the soil for rubber trees every three years to maintain their normal growth.

1. It cannot be grafted

The rubber tree can not be grafted with other trees, and the tree species it grafts is not easy to survive, the rubber tree is also known as the Indian gum tree, it is a plant belonging to the genus Ficus mulberry, the leaves of the rubber tree are wide and thick, and the surface is dark green, the back is light green, the main varieties of the rubber tree are the flowering Indian ficus, the gorgeous Indian fig, the Phnom Penh leaf Indian fig, etc.

2. Suitable temperature

Rubber trees are suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment, daily maintenance of rubber trees, if the ambient temperature is lower than 5 degrees, it will cause frostbite of the plant, and even make the rubber tree die, you need to move the rubber tree to a warm room for maintenance, and control the ambient temperature between 18 degrees and 25 degrees, so that the rubber tree can survive the winter smoothly.

3. Maintain humidity

When the rubber tree is maintained daily, it needs to be provided with sufficient water, which can be watered every three days, and when the weather is too hot, spray water on the leaves of the rubber tree to maintain the humidity of the plant and make the leaves of the rubber tree more shiny, and also need to spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves of the rubber tree to promote its vigorous growth.

4. Replace the soil

When the rubber tree is cultivated daily, it is necessary to replace the soil for the plant every three years to avoid the soil becoming stiff and compacted, which will affect the growth of the rubber tree.

Rubber trees can be cut and can be carried out in the summer of June and July every year to improve the survival rate of cuttings. Cuttings method: branch selection, need to choose strong and full leaves, and take cuttings after disinfection; For the soil blending method, plain sandy soil can be used as a substrate, and disinfection needs to be carried out before use; In the cuttings method, the depth of the branches into the soil is controlled at about 3 cm and covered with a layer of fine soil.

Rubber tree can be cuttings, cuttings is one of the main propagation methods of rubber trees, cuttings can generally be selected in early June to late July every summer, during which the activity of the internal cells of the branches is greater, and the temperature and humidity can make the rubber tree grow better, and the specific cutting time needs to be adjusted appropriately according to the local climatic conditions.

1. Branch selection

When cutting rubber trees, the first thing to pay attention to is the selection of branches, and the leaves need to be cut from the robust mother plant, so that the seedlings can take root as soon as possible after cuttings. Note that when pruning, cut off the bottom petiole as well, not just the leaves. After pruning, the shoots need to be soaked in carbendazim solution for sterilization, and then potted after the wound has dried.

2. Soil blending method

Due to the good growth of rubber tree branches, when cuttings, plain sandy soil can be directly used as the cultivation substrate, and vermiculite can be used as the seedbed. Before cuttings, the soil needs to be exposed to the sun or sprayed with carbendazim solution for disinfection to avoid the growth of bacteria in the soil and affect the survival rate of branches after cuttings.

3. Cutting method

The cuttings of the rubber tree are relatively easy to operate, and the leaves after disinfection and drying can be directly inserted into the soil, and the depth is controlled at about 3 cm, which should not be too deep. After the cuttings are completed, it needs to be covered with a layer of fine soil above, and after the cuttings are completed, it is necessary to water the root water once, but it is necessary to avoid stagnant water, during the germination period, the temperature needs to be stable between 18 and 25, and after waiting for 2 to 3 weeks, the seedlings will take root.

The branches cut off by the rubber tree cannot be grafted, and it is not easy to survive by grafting other tree species, and grafting is meaningless. The rubber tree is also known as Indian fig and Indian rubber. It is native to India and Malaysia.

Nowadays, it is cultivated in many parts of China. Rubber trees are mainly propagated by cuttings and high-branch striping methods.

Propagation by cuttings is relatively simple, easy to survive and grows quickly. Generally, it can be combined with pruning in late spring and early summer. Select the middle branch of annual lignification as the cutting, the cuttings should be subject to retaining three buds, cut off the lower one leaf, close the upper two leaves, and tie them with plastic, or cut off half of the upper leaf to reduce water evaporation.

In order to prevent excessive loss of breast milk from the cut and affect survival, the wound should be applied with plant ash in time. The processed cuttings can be cut into a cuttings with river sand or vermiculite as the substrate. After plugging, it is necessary to keep the slotting bed with high humidity, and you can often sprinkle water on the ground (but not accumulate water) to increase the air humidity.

Under 18 25 temperature, semi-shaded conditions, it can take about 2 to 3 weeks to take root.

Precautions: Rubber trees like high temperature environments and grow rapidly in summer and autumn. The growing temperature is 20-30. When the temperature is lower than 10, the rubber tree is basically in a state of growth stagnation. The wintering temperature should not be lower than 5
