Grafting purslane with moss rose produces stunningly beautiful results

Moss rose is a common, humble plant found everywhere.

In fact, moss rose is not difficult to grow at all - as long as there is plenty of sunlight and water, it will burst into bloom all over the pot once summer arrives.

But if you graft moss rose onto purslane, next year when it blooms, you are guaranteed a truly unique visual experience.

Materials needed:

Moss rose cuttings of different varieties and colors.

One pot of a robust purslane plant.

How to do it:

Make a diagonal cut at the cut end of the moss rose stem.

Cut a small slit in the purslane stem.

Insert the moss rose stem into the purslane stem, and use a cloth strip or thin string to secure the joint.

Why choose purslane as the rootstock? Because purslane and moss rose are very similar in appearance, and their growing habits are the same, so grafting these two plants together makes later care easier and the survival rate is very high.

Aftercare methods after grafting:

First, after the two plants are grafted together, be careful when watering.

Second, wait about half a month; if the wound at the graft site has healed and the plant is growing well, then it is fine.

Finally, purslane actually likes sunlight just like moss rose and needs plenty of water, so during the care stage you can also follow the habits of moss rose.
