How to graft crab claw orchid, how to graft crab claw orchid

Breeding method of crab claw orchid:

1. Grafting: Grafting can be carried out in spring and autumn, and spring is better. Generally, the plants grafted in the spring are well maintained, and the flowers can be seen in the winter of that year. The specific method of grafting is:

1. Rootstock selection: choose cactus or triangular arrow for rootstock; First of all, the blade is sterilized;

2. Scion selection: It is best to choose the stem of the crab claw orchid with a slightly higher degree of lignification for the scion, that is, it cannot be too tender (such as the top leaves), nor too old (such as the base lignification is heavier), and it is best to pinch the thick stem of the middle part of the tail after pinching the head.

3. Scion treatment: then use a blade to cut off part of the skin and flesh of the lower part of the scion to expose the white xylem. It can be cut diagonally down along the main vein raised on the stem of the crab claw orchid, and the stem should be shaved on both sides to make its base wedge-shaped.

When cutting, it is best to cut it with one knife and do not repeat the cutting; After cutting, the cut end of the scion is contained in the mouth to prevent water loss at the grafting site from affecting the survival rate;

4. Rootstock treatment: flatten the top of the cactus, cut it vertically down with a blade slightly off the middle point along the incision, with a depth of about 2-3 cm, and squeeze both sides of the cactus stem with your hands, you can clearly see the V-shaped incision at the top, like a small pocket; Then immediately insert the scion into the incision of the rootstock, when grafting, gently pinch the incision of the rootstock with your hand, let the rootstock clamp the scion, and stay for a while, until the wound of the graft and the rootstock can be tightly adhered and the liquid infiltrates each other. To prevent the scion from slipping out, it can be fixed with the spines of a cactus;

5. It is best to tie the joint parts with plastic wrap, and then put the connected plants in a cool and moist place to avoid direct sunlight and rainwater; The potting soil is kept dry and wet, that is, the surface of the soil can be watered when it is dry, and it is strictly forbidden to water it frequently, and it is strictly forbidden to water it into the interface. Generally, it can survive in 15-20 days;

Due to the developed root system of the rootstock, the crab claw orchid propagated by grafting grows vigorously, and it can bloom all over the branches in the same year.

Use a cactus with a height of about 30 cm as the base, peel off the top about 1 cm, cut a deep hole in the middle, wrap the skin of the lower one-third of the leaves of the crab claw lotus, and insert it into the cut deep mouth. It can be secured with the long spines of a cactus traversing.

Crab claw orchid is our favorite potted flower plant, so how to graft it at home? First, select the sturdy branches to retain 2 3 leaves and then process, scratch the rootstock 2 cm to expose the fleshy part, and then insert the branches of the crab claw orchid, fix it with a toothpick, and put it in a ventilated place for maintenance.

1. Choose this state to choose branches.

First of all, we need to choose a strong branch on the mother plant for grafting, preferably with 2 3 leaves, and then the grafted end is cut off with a sharper knife to remove the epidermis, and the internal structure of Lusen Tong will be more conducive to successful grafting.

2. Handle the rootstock.

Generally, you can choose a cactus as a rootstock, cut off the top with a knife to expose the fleshy part, and then cut the fleshy part to a depth of about 2 cm, so that the rootstock is completely ready and ready to start grafting.

3. Grafting.

Then insert the prepared branches of crab claw orchid into the fleshy structure of the rootstock, and then fix the grafted part with small toothpicks, clips and other tools, so as not to connect the two tightly enough, which affects the success rate of grafting.

4. Follow-up treatment.

After grafting, to avoid the wound stained with water, and then placed in a ventilated and cool place for cover, waiting for adaptation, about 20 days, if you find that the leaves become full, there are signs of growth, it means that the grafting has been successful, and then wait about a week or so, you can loosen the toothpick, clips and other fixing tools.

The time of grafting can be selected in spring and autumn, March to June or September to October are very suitable periods, spring will be better than autumn, because the temperature is warmer at this time, the light conditions are also very satisfied, can help the growth of plants, the possibility of rootstock and scion combination is higher, and the probability of survival will be greater. And it's spring, which is the season for plants to sprout.

1. Rootstock: Cactus is generally selected, its trunk is relatively strong, can have a good supporting role, and the probability of survival is improved. An annual robust plant can be selected, the branches are removed from above, and then cut into rootstock for grafting.

Make a cut at the top and set aside for later use.

2. Scion: Select the top shoot from the strong mother plant and cut off one-third with a blade. After sterilizing the knife, the bottom is cut into a wedge shape and the incision is flat and smaller than on the rootstock.

3. Grafting: Insert these two parts together, the action should be fast, and you can pull out the thorns of the cactus to connect the connected parts together.

4. Maintenance: After completion, put it in a cool place, properly watered and not dry, and it can survive after about a month.

Hello! It is best to graft crab claw orchids with triangular arrows, cacti, and leaf fairy.

The triangular arrow is a good plant for grafting crab claw orchid, which also belongs to the cactus family, has strong reproductive ability, is very simple to manage, and is easy to root. If it is used to breed crab claw orchid, the survival rate is relatively high. In addition, the grafted crab claw orchid also grows more beautifully.

It is relatively common to use cacti as rootstock to graft crab claw orchid. It has strong adaptability, and the survival rate of grafting is relatively high, and it is easy to survive.

The root system of leaf fairy is relatively developed and can absorb enough nutrients. And the affinity is relatively high, and the survival rate after grafting is high. However, note that the branches of the leaf fairy are soft, so they should be fixed with a bracket when grafting.

1. Rootstock: When grafting crab claw orchid, you can choose the annual strong and disease-free cow tongue palm as the rootstock. 2. Scioner:

Cut the sturdy and plump stem nodes of the crab claw orchid, and then cut the base diagonally into a duckbill shape. 3. Grafting: In the spring and autumn of each year, the stem and leaf rootstock of crab claw orchid is inserted into the rootstock incision and fixed with plastic film to make it survive quickly.

1. Choose a rootstock

Grafting crab claw orchid, first of all, you need to choose the rootstock, generally choose cactus is the best, especially the annual strong and disease-free cow tongue palm is better, because the cow tongue palm is tall and strong, and the support force is large, which can make the grafted crab claw orchid hang down freely, so that the grafted crab claw orchid has a higher ornamental value.

2. Preparation

When grafting, we need to use 2-3 sections of strong and full stem nodes as scion, we need to first cut a section at the base of the scion obliquely into a duckbill shape, the length is OK, and the cutting should be flat, so that the survival rate is high, and then cut a knife longitudinally on the top of the rootstock, and the width and depth of the knife edge should be a little larger than the scion cutting surface.

3. Grafting method

Grafting crab claw orchid is generally best carried out from early March to mid-June or mid-September to mid-October, grafting should be carried out in sunny weather, the treated scion is inserted into the rootstock incision and fixed, maintained in a ventilated and cool place, during which the interface should be avoided from water, and it can survive for about 1 month.

1. For rootstock treatment, first select the perennial branches as the rootstock, cut the base into a wedge-shaped state, and treat it with disinfectant; 2. Start grafting, overlap the rootstock and cuttings, put a plastic film on the surface, and tie it with a steel wire; 3. Follow-up management, add a thin compound fertilizer, watering to keep the soil moist; 4. Precautions should be selected in the morning on a sunny day.

When grafting, the first to select the growth and development of strong lifelong branches as the rootstock, the bottom of the rootstock cut into the shape of a flat mouth, the position of the cuttings should also maintain the same shape, and then the wound is disinfected to facilitate survival.

The selected rootstock and cuttings coincide, put a plastic film on the surface, and then tightly tie it with a wire rope, and after the grafting is successful, cut off a small part of the upper end to promote the growth and development of the buds, and put it in a cool and windy environment.

At this time, the plant will be moved to a sunny environment to promote the glossy effect of the leaves, at this time, a thin compound fertilizer solution can be added, and water can be poured after fertilization to keep the soil moist, and the soil can be properly loosened at ordinary times.

When grafting crab claw orchid, it is best to choose the morning of a sunny day, and disinfect the scissors to prevent wound infection, which is not conducive to survival, and try not to do it in rainy weather, so as not to affect the growth and development of the plant.
