Spring is grafting season. Recently a gardening friend asked me: when grafting a Christmas cactus, if I use alcohol to disinfect, what should I be careful about - if I'm short on alcohol, what do I do? Will it get infected? Actually this question is very simple, it's fine if there's alcohol on the cut surface, just wipe it off directly or put it in a ventilated place to let it dry quickly, no problem, don't be afraid of rot, grafted Christmas cactus is not that fragile, as long as you don't get something too dirty on it, it won't get infected with bacteria and rot, rest assured!

Management after grafting: once the Christmas cactus is grafted, try not to expose it to too much sun. Take it to a shady place, and once you see the wound has clearly healed, or new leaves have come out, move it to a place with stronger light and care for it normally. As long as you align the cambium layers of the two, survival is basically no problem.
