Should not use plastic and other binding interface, but also do not touch water, so as to avoid interface infection and decay. After survival, move it to a sunny place and remove the seed ball from the rootstock at any time, so that the scion can have sufficient nutrients to promote its vigorous growth, and the bud can blossom in March-April of the following year.
