The jade tree is cut with a knife, inserted with longevity flowers, and blooms into a "rich tree" every year, and the sense of luxury is bursting
Recently, I visited a flower friend and found that his longevity flowers are very chic, like a colorful lollipop, which looks more advanced and colorful than cultivating longevity flowers alone, and I can't help but wonder how to raise them. Later, after careful observation, I found that it was originally a longevity flower grafted with a jade tree, and then I realized that the longevity flower could still be raised like this! It seems that I have discovered a new world, and I can't wait to try it when I go home, and it has been a year, and this year has grown bones.
Many people may also be curious, can longevity flowers and jade trees grow together? The answer is yes, longevity flowers and jade trees are both succulents, they have the same growth Xi, have a lot in common, and are easy to integrate. If you like it, you might as well give it a try. Let's share the specific method with you.
Prepare tools and materials.
Sterilize scissors or gardening knives, straps or plastic wrap, disinfectant potions, jade trees and longevity flowers.
Note. The selected jade tree should be strong, and it is recommended that the main branch trunk should be thick with the thickness of the index finger, so that it is not easy to graft out, and lodging will occur, so as to avoid the situation of being top-heavy. In addition, there are 4 to 5 branches.
The choice of longevity flowers: longevity flowers as scion, the branches must be strong and full, without any pests and diseases, you can choose from a variety of varieties, do not simply use a variety, if there are 4 to 5 branches on the jade tree, you can choose 4 to 5 varieties of different colors to graft.
Sterilize scissors or garden knives in advance.
Grafting method. Choose a suitable spot on the main trunk or branch of the jade tree and make a smooth incision with sterilized scissors or gardening knives. Make a downward cut at the incision to a depth of about 2 to 3 cm.
At the junction of the longevity flower branches and the jade tree, the epidermis on both sides is removed, revealing the emerald green tissue inside, which is about 2 to 3 centimeters long. After it is processed. A small amount of rooting hormone can be applied to the interface, which promotes healing and allows the two to grow together quickly.
Be sure to make sure that their cambium layer fits perfectly. That is, the cut surface of the scion is tightly attached to the cut of the rootstock, ensuring that at least part of the contact surface is tightly bonded. Use a grafting film or strapping to bind the scion and rootstock tightly together, ensuring that the scion does not move.
Place the grafted plant in a warm, bright but not direct location, maintain proper moisture, and avoid overwatering. Over the next few weeks, observe whether the graft site heals. If the grafting is successful, the scion will start to grow new leaves. Once the graft site is completely healed, the straps can be carefully removed.
The new life that has been successfully grafted should gradually move to the light and be placed in a place with more sufficient light to meet the growth needs, otherwise it will grow and decay. In addition, in terms of watering, it is still better to be dry than wet, when you find that there are a lot of shoots growing on the branches, you should break them off in time to avoid absorbing too many nutrients and affecting the growth of longevity flowers. Of course, longevity flowers should also be pruned in the original way, topped in time, and promote branching, so that they can bloom more and more. And during the growing season, you can also use thin liquid fertilizer 2 to 3 times. All in all, new life is cultivated in a similar way to individual cultures.
The growth Xi of jade trees and longevity flowers are similar, they are all succulents, and they are also drought tolerant, and the success rate of grafting together is very large, whether it is a beginner or a flower friend who often raises flowers, you can try to challenge.
