A flower friend asked me to answer, can the rootless cactus graft crab claw orchid survive? The answer is yes, it can survive. But there are several prerequisites.

Cactus should be thick and can not be grafted with small, thin cactus. If the cactus is too thin and too small. After grafting, he did not have enough nutrients to dry the soft-shelled turtle when it took root, which caused the cactus not to grow roots and the grafting failed.

Grafted crab claw orchid leaves can not be too many, too much is not conducive to its survival. It is easy to consume too much nutrients, causing the cactus leaves to shrink, which is not conducive to rooting, that is, the cactus does not have enough nutrients to supply too many crab claw orchid leaves to heal and grow. Part of the leaves will fall off in the middle. It is also possible to cause the cactus to suck to death and fail to take root, resulting in grafting failure.

After the grafting survived in this way. The growth of crab claw orchid will be slower in the early stage. Because the cactus has to have a long root process, its roots grow out to the complete growth, there can be more nutrients to supply crab claw orchid growth. This process is much slower than a cactus with a heel.

If we want to use rootless cactus grafting to survive high and grow fast, we can choose to graft after the crab claw orchid blossoms, that is, in spring, because there will be a dormancy period of about a month after the crab claw orchid blossoms. At this time, after blooming, we cut off its leaves and select thick crab claw orchids to be grafted on rootless cactus. When the cut cactus wound is almost healed. The grafted crab claw orchid and cactus their wounds also completely healed. We can plant the cactus directly. There is no dormant period for the cactus this season. So the cactus can directly grow the root crab claw orchid in dormancy to restore the leaves of his two do not conflict. The recovery of crab claw orchid consumes relatively few nutrients, and when the dormancy period of crab claw orchid is over, the root system of cactus grows well. It can improve the survival rate.
