1、 Grafting time

The time of grafting is usually in spring or autumn. Spring starts from late March and can be carried out until mid June. Autumn is only from mid September to mid October, which is a more appropriate month. And grafting is more appropriate on a sunny morning

2、 Select branches and stems

Select the two or three branches and stems of the lower section of the crab claw that are not too old, and cut the bottom end of the base leaf into a wedge with a detoxified knife, so that it can be better inserted into the rootstock, and the cut place is easier to absorb nutrition

3、 Processing cactus

The size of cactus should be moderate, and the diameter should not be less than 5cm, otherwise it is difficult to support crab claw orchid. Cut off the thorns with scissors to avoid hurting the stem of crab claw orchid. Then cut a hole on the top with a sterilized knife. It should not be too wide or too deep, and do not cut on the edge to avoid plant deformation. The knife should remain on the incision and cannot be pulled out immediately

4、 Grafting

After preparing the branches and stems, pull out the knife, and then quickly insert the branches and stems into the incision of the cactus. All the stems at the base should enter the incision, so as to better fit and avoid separation

5、 Subsequent maintenance

After grafting, put the potted plants in a cool place. When watering at ordinary times, pay attention not to spray it on the grafted wound. Generally, the two will grow together in about 15 days. At this time, they can move to the sunny place. After germination, it can be cured normally
