Grafting moss rose onto purslane: lignified in half a year, with flowers as big as a fist, stunningly beautiful

Moss rose is a very interesting flower. It is an annual herbaceous plant, so it is impossible for it to grow into an old stump. A moss rose that cannot grow into an old stump can never grow very large flowers, and it also cannot bloom a particularly large number of flowers. So how can we make it bloom more flowers?

Today we are going to teach everyone a very interesting method: since it cannot grow into an old stump, graft it onto a plant that can grow into an old stump! The plant we have chosen is called purslane. Of course, it is not the annual herbaceous plant we see in the countryside, which also cannot grow into an old stump. What we are talking about is its relative in the same genus, called purslane tree, which is a perennial shrub plant. Among many of our gardening friends, it is more often called jade plant.

If we graft moss rose onto purslane tree, it can become lignified in half a year, and its flowers can open to the size of a fist, simply stunningly beautiful! This is because it combines the purslane tree's ability to lignify quickly, grow into an old stump, develop bark, and improve nutrient transport capacity, with the moss rose's characteristics of blooming abundantly and having rich colors. Therefore, its ornamental beauty cannot be matched by other flowers!

The method of grafting moss rose onto purslane tree is also very simple. First, we cut branches of different varieties of moss rose, cut the cut ends at a 45-degree angle, then on the purslane branch, also cut a notch of the same area, then directly press the moss rose branch onto it, clamp it with a small clip, and their grafting is complete. We must note that the movements must be fast, and the grafting must be done while their tissues have not dried out, as this can improve the survival rate of the moss rose.

In about 20 days or so, we can see that the wound has completely healed, and at this time we can remove the clip. In the subsequent care process, we follow the habits of purslane. We can use more nitrogen fertilizer, which can promote the growth of its branches and leaves. When the moss rose blooms, supplementing some phosphorus fertilizer can make its flowers bloom more vividly and more fully.

After half a year, the purslane tree becomes lignified, grows bark, and forms an old stump. In this way, its nutrient transport capacity becomes particularly strong. We can increase the release of fertilizer, which can provide a very large amount of nutrients for the moss rose. When it blooms, its flowers will become bigger and bigger and more and more beautiful. Because different varieties of moss rose have been grafted, the flowers that bloom are also colorful, and the ornamental value is very high.

If you also like moss rose, you can try this method. It is very effective and very easy to achieve. If you think it is not bad, then like, save, and follow. We update various little tips about flower care every day, hoping to help you.
