Rose grafting is a skill to master five elements to survive.

Rose grafting, for many flower friends, is a difficult move, always unable to survive. What on earth is the problem? In fact, the grafting technique of rose is not high, but it is affected by many factors. Therefore, if you want rose grafting to survive well, there are five factors to understand.

The first element: affinity

In order to make the survival rate of rose grafting high, a key factor is the affinity between scion and rootstock (that is, close relationship). This kind of grafted seedlings usually have strong adaptability and can prolong life or blossom earlier. Therefore, rose grafting generally chooses rose as rootstock.

In order to make the grafted branches grow strong, flower friends usually have to make some efforts to replenish nutrients to the rose in time, using a special organic nutrient solution for rose, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, 500 times of water, and watering the roots every 7 days for rose growth and absorption.

The second element: grafting time

The grafting time is different in different areas, according to the best time of local grafting and breeding rose, it is generally recommended that cutting can be carried out from November to January of the following year, and the survival rate of cutting in December is the highest. growth and development is also the best.

The third element: the phenological phase of rootstock and scion

In general, the phenological phase of rootstocks should be earlier than scions, which is more conducive to survival. Because the water and nutrients that maintain the life activity of rose scion should be supplemented by rootstock. Join the scion to move first, and at this time the rootstock can not provide its water and nutrients in time, the scion will wither and die, and the grafting will fail.

Liquid fertilizer can be used to water the rootstock every 7-10 days during maintenance. When dealing with the rootstock, the rootstock can be soaked in 500 times diluted organic nutrient solution for 10-15 minutes, which is helpful to root and improve the survival rate.

The fourth element: formation layer alignment and tight connection

When grafting, we must aim at the cambium of rootstock and scion, and ensure that they are close to each other, so as to produce healing tissue, and then take root and sprout. Therefore, when grafting, it is best to cut the rootstock first and then the scion, which can shorten the time of water evaporation, and the incision must be smooth; binding is important to avoid affecting survival due to gaps in the middle.

Fifth element: the temperature should be suitable.

Generally, the suitable temperature for rose grafting is 25 ℃. Too high or too low temperature is not conducive to cell division and the formation of healing tissue. If too much watering after grafting, resulting in too much humidity, it is easy to cause wound decay; if drought and lack of water, the air humidity is too low, the survival rate is not high.
