Cutting of desert rose

The cutting of desert rose is generally carried out in summer

First, select the branches that have grown for two years for cutting, cut the top of the branches into about 9 cm, soak the lower part in water, then take it out and dry it

Secondly, after drying in the sun, insert it into the sand, or cut it into sterilized containers, and then ensure sufficient sunlight and ventilation

Finally, the branches inserted into the sand will grow roots in half a month. After rooting, water properly. Don't water too much to cause a humid environment, which will damage the root and make the root erode due to moisture

During the period of root growth, fertilizer should be applied to supply sufficient nutrients. It is OK to use rotten compost for proper application

Grafting of desert rose

Desert roses are grafted in spring and autumn

Firstly, oleander is selected as the rootstock, and then the branches of desert rose are cut according to the shape of the rootstock. After cutting, the uppermost part of the cutting part is taken off. Dilute the mucus at the cut part and soak it in clean water to avoid affecting the grafting

Secondly, graft with the split grafting method, connect the cut part to the grafting part of oleander as the rootstock, bind it with a plastic bag and untie it in two months. Of course, the cut desert rose is thinner than the rootstock. Grafting should pay attention to the temperature, not more than 20 degrees, and do not graft in rainy days

Finally, after grafting, put plastic bags in a cool place for maintenance. After sprouting, do not touch the incision when watering to avoid infection and decay

The grafted desert roses have a beautiful appearance, so people generally use the grafting method to cultivate and plant beautiful desert roses to beautify the space and improve the ornamental quality< span>
