7. Insert the crab claw orchid leaves into the cut, and try to connect the midline of the leaves with the thorn seat of the cactus, which is the growing point of the cactus, so it is easier to survive. Fix it with a toothpick or clip after insertion.

8. At the top, in addition to horizontal insertion, you can also insert vertically, cut a 1.5 cm deep cut above the thorn seat with a knife, put the cuttings in, and then fix them.

9. If you want to graft multi-layer crab claw orchid, you can also cut grafting on the side of the cactus leaf. First use alcohol to disinfect the place where you want to graft.

10. Cut an inverted triangle with the tip of the knife, insert the cuttings and fix them.

11. The cactus that has just been grafted should not be watered and stopped for 10 days. if the leaves of crab claw orchid do not wilt after more than 10 days, it means that the grafting is successful.
