Flower friends in the south can be grafted with double wood incense, which has better heat resistance. Grafting can be carried out in the Spring and Autumn period, and bud grafting and skin grafting are commonly used.

In the bud grafting method, take the full and full buds from the annual branches, cut a T-shaped incision in the skin of the rootstock, to reach the xylem, insert the cut buds into the incision of the rootstock, align the buds and the cambium of the rootstock, and bind them with grafting straps to make them heal and grow.

Skin grafting is relatively simple, easy to master, and the survival rate is relatively high. Cut the top of the mountain wood incense flat, 2 knives in the vertical direction, and the width is about the same as the scion, which will be inserted into the scion later.

The side of the scion near the rootstock is flattened, inserted into the bark and tied with a grafting membrane. Find a plastic bag to cover it, spray some water mist inside, tie it up, increase the humidity, and help the scion survive.
