Before grafting: root lifting

Before grafting, according to the actual needs, timely root lifting modeling. Small potted plants are generally planted for 8 ~ 10 months, and the roots are properly lifted up; The medium-sized potted plants will be uprooted in about December; Large potted plants should be planted for 2 ~ 3 years, and the roots should be lifted after the root tubers are formed

Grafting

The time of grafting is around Qingming or when autumn buds sprout

Rootstocks and Scions should choose the branches born in the current year, but scions should be relatively mature

Cut the top of the rootstock with a high-temperature sterilized blade, and then cut a hole of about 1 cm vertically downward along the axis, cut the big lower end of the scion into a V-shape and insert it into the rootstock. Wrap the interface with plastic film and spray water

Maintenance

After grafting, put the plant in a ventilated and bright place to avoid strong light. Uncover the membrane for air exchange once a day, but do not directly touch the interface with your hand. It can be untied in about 45 days

After sprouting, pay attention to supplement water to avoid the small buds from drying out due to water shortage

After grafting

Leaf picking

When the grafted plants grow into chicken claw branches, all the leaves should be removed, and 2 ~ 3 sections should be reserved on each branch, so that all the twigs can grow new leaves and make the tree more plump

Wipe bud

After the new buds grow, the leaves should be cut in each section. For dense and irregular bud spots, wipe out part to avoid too lush branches and leaves competing for nutrients. At the same time, the direction and position of collocation are also used to promote growth
