How to Graft Plants – A Traditional Propagation Technique

Plant grafting is a method of joining a healthy branch (scion) from one plant to the rootstock of another so they grow together as a single plant. This technique is widely used to preserve desirable traits, improve growth, and increase fruit production.

Basic Steps:
🌱 Step 1: Select a healthy rootstock and a disease-free scion from the desired plant.

🌱 Step 2: Make matching cuts on both the rootstock and the scion.

🌱 Step 3: Join the cut surfaces together so the cambium layers are in close contact.

🌱 Step 4: Secure the graft tightly with grafting tape or plastic wrap.

🌱 Step 5: Protect the graft from direct sunlight and keep it moist until it heals.

Benefits of Grafting:

* Faster fruit production.
* Preserves the characteristics of the parent plant.
* Improves disease resistance.
* Allows multiple varieties to grow on a single tree.

🌿 A simple yet powerful technique that has been used by gardeners and farmers for centuries.
