How to create grafts
The
grafting tool makes creating new grafts
quick and easy. By following
just three simple steps anybody can
create professional quality grafts
within minutes.
Step 1 - Prepare the plants to be grafted
Prepare the plants to be grafted, by removing all excess leaves and twigs.
The tool contains a pruning attachment for this. The plant which will
provide the roots is called the stock, or rootstock. The plant which
provides the leaves, flowers or fruit, is called the scion.
Step 2 - Cut the rootstock and scion
The next step is to use the special grafting guillotine to cut both the
rootstock and scion. This is normally the most difficult part of grafting,
however with the grafting tool it's easy to create a flawless cut.
Step 3 - Bind the graft
Lastly bind the graft together tightly using black electrical tape. The
extra heat under the tape helps the wound to heal and the graft to 'take'.
