Grafting purslane moss rose onto jade plant and butterfly bush - it blooms layer upon layer all over the branches, stunningly beautiful

The jade plant is actually the purslane tree, and the moss rose is also a type of purslane. They are originally of the same family. The moss rose loves to bloom, but it is extremely intolerant of cold, and getting it through the winter is really not easy. The purslane tree, compared to the moss rose, can be said to have extremely strong cold tolerance. So a gardener grafted the moss rose onto the purslane tree, and unexpectedly the effect was especially good - the flowers bloom layer upon layer, and the blooms have also become much bigger. The first time I saw the picture sent by the gardener, it really felt magical. You see, as long as you dare to imagine and dare to try, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Beautiful, isn't it? Isn't it gorgeous? So how is it done?

This is the topic we are sharing today:

Grafting "moss rose" onto jade plant and butterfly bush - it blooms layer upon layer all over the branches, stunningly beautiful!

We need to select double-petaled, large-flowered, healthy and sturdy moss rose branches as the scion. The moss rose branch needs a diagonal cut. Find a jade plant that is not particularly large as the rootstock. First make a cut on the jade plant branch that is the same as the cut on the moss rose branch, then quickly insert the moss rose branch. Then wrap it with cling film.

Then place it in a cool, ventilated place for care. If after 7 days the branch has not gone soft and is standing upright, that means it has succeeded. After success, we can try grafting a few more layers, and once it is finally grown out, the effect is really especially good.

Once the moss rose graft has succeeded, after we give it sufficient nutrients, it will grow especially fast. Generally, if you want a potted plant to bloom more, phosphorus fertilizer is definitely indispensable. We can apply base fertilizer while also supplementing plenty of phosphorus fertilizer. Of course, there are many kinds of flower fertilizers. Gardeners can make their own or buy them from a flower shop - both are very convenient.

You can also graft moss rose onto butterfly bush - it is also very beautiful!

For grafting onto butterfly bush, we need to choose one with branches of even thickness. You can graft multiple layers at once. The method is as follows:

First shave off the thorns of the butterfly bush, then make a diagonal cut on the moss rose branch, then place the cut surfaces together, clamp them with a small clip, or you can wrap them with cling film.

After grafting, place it in a cool, ventilated place. It must not be exposed to the sun at first, and the wound should not touch water. Generally it will survive in about 10 days. After it survives, do not let it see the sun immediately. First give it diffused light, then slowly remove the clip, and then let it see the sun.

Look at how beautiful and lovely it is after surviving. Grafting moss rose this way makes it very easy to get through the winter. Moreover, if we place it on a south-facing balcony where it can get plenty of sunlight, it can also bloom all over in winter. And the moss rose blooms frequently, almost one flower after another. With a pot of moss rose like this, why worry about having no flowers to enjoy all winter?
