Can cactus fingers and cactus balls be grafted?

Yes! Because they are both in the cactus family, they are "related", but they have not seen a gardener graft these two together. The cactus fingers and cactus balls are already quite beautiful, and some of the grafting is a bit more beautiful.

Generally, these two varieties are grafted as scion on the measuring scale of the cactus family, and the effect is very different.

Can graft the cactus finger at the end of the node to cut out the oblique mouth, expose the vascular tube, the cactus ball selects the appropriate place, removes a thorn seat, inserts an opening in the center of the thorn seat, the size matches the cactus finger oblique mouth, inserts the cactus finger, aligns the vascular tube of the cactus finger with the vascular tube behind the cactus stabbing seat, sutures the wound with the thorn of the cut cactus, fixes it like a nail, avoids the wind to dry the wound, does not wet the wound with water, and avoids sun exposure for the first few days.

Choose sterile and robust bulbs, and choose leaf cactus plants with good growth as rootstocks. If it is used for artistic modeling, you can choose plants with more branches; Commonly used rootstocks include cactus, cactus, leaf cactus, measuring ruler, etc. Tools must be disinfected; The operator needs to be aseptic; The environment should be hygienic.

The best way is to plug in, which is not easy to dry out and fall off. The plugging method is the "up" type grafting method, which requires the selection of leaf cactus plants with good growth, first the tip of the tip, and then peeling off the outer skin, and the peeling length is one-third of the height of the bulb.

Peel off the bottom of the ball and expose the core. Drill holes in the core (the hole diameter is selected according to the thickness of the shoot) to a depth of one-third of the height of the ball. The advantages of the "up" font connection are:

The contact area is large, stable, not easy to fall off, and the survival rate is high. The grafting time is best in April and May, and the temperature is controlled at 20 to 25.

After the grafting of the balls and columns is completed, move them to a place where the light is not strong. The temperature is kept at 20 to 25 to allow the wound to heal, which is usually almost complete after 15 to 20 days. At this time, gradually move to a sunny place for maintenance.

The culture soil should be loose and breathable, and the water quality should be neutral.

Leaf fairy has become very common as a grafted rootstock. The success rate of its layering lies in "leaving the top and staggering", otherwise dry buds. It has its own advantages and disadvantages with cacti and triangle as rootstocks. Compared with cactus and triangular cactus, leaf fairy grafting has the advantage of being a latecomer, and under normal management, it takes shape in three years.

For novices, the leaf fairy layer should be measured first, and the height of the plant should be mastered before the number of layers is determined, not blindly. Considering the growth of Ye Xian after grafting Crab Claw Orchid or Immortal Crack Pei Human Finger, the layer spacing must be fixed, which is commonly 20 30cm.

The layer spacing is set, and then the junction is fixed. I graft can be a layer of 9 points, novices should locate 2 3 (3 points are recommended) contacts as well. There is no fixed routine for this, depending on personal preference, the focus is on your Ye Immortal's nuclear potential and stoutness.

You are 5 layer by layer, the leaf fairy plant is thin, the contact is too dense, and the bearing capacity is not good, it is easy to break it, and it also involves the problem of small plant nutrients.

Ye Xian marries the immortal, the rootstock is cut a small opening, the depth is 1cm, the rootstock is docked with the scion incision, and it is fixed with a clamp. Above 30 degrees, it is best to remove the clamp for a month and a half.

Ye Xian grafting immortal refers to the maintenance points: the immortal refers to the formation of flower buds in a low temperature environment, which is not as casual as the crab claw orchid.

Ye Xian grafted each contact point, must be staggered, otherwise it will be broken. When grafting, the top of the leaf fairy must leave 2 bud point leaves, in order to carry out photosynthesis, the immortal refers to the grafting before the survival, the required nutrients by the leaf to start the water demand function, the root system is **. If the leaves are all plowed, the grafted stems are easy to dry due to the slow moisture of the root system.

It is important to remember that plant water transpiration begins to be pumped up from the leaves, and the leaves are not there, and the water only depends on the source of potting soil for transpiration.
