Last Updated: 2024/09/19, The keel can grow to several meters high, very tall, and the growth is also very spectacular, but it rarely blossoms. Some people keep it for more than ten years, but it does not blossom when it grows several meters, or it blossoms so small that it has no ornamental value if we want to make it at home.

The keel can grow to several meters high, very tall, and the growth is also very spectacular, but it rarely blossoms. Some people keep it for more than ten years, but it does not blossom when it grows several meters, or it blossoms so small that it has no ornamental value.

If we want our keel to blossom all the year round, we can do it through grafting.

The keel is a plant of Euphorbiaceae, which can be grafted with tiger plum, which can blossom all the year round, and the red flowers are also very beautiful.

This small keel was grafted half a month ago and has grown together and survived. Today, it is grafted with this keel more than two meters high, so that several branches of it are full of flowers.

First of all, select a branch of the keel, remove part of the top, cut the cut flat, choose a 20 cm scion of the tiger prickly plum, cut it on both sides with a grafting knife, revealing the pith in the middle, the tiger thorn plum is full of thorns, and the juice is poisonous, so you must be careful when operating.

You can cut the bottom of the tiger thorn plum by about two or three centimeters, and then cut the keel from the middle pith, which is about as deep as the interface of the tiger thorn plum.

Insert the tiger thorn plum from the incision, pay attention to the side of the keel and aim at the cambium, so that the grafting is easy to survive.

Then fix it with the thorns of the cactus, not in the middle, but on the side.

Put it in a place away from the light and keep it for about half a month. Don't water it or touch the water. You can survive. It's very easy to survive.

In this way, in a few months, your keel several meters high will be covered with red flowers. It's so beautiful.
