The rootstock of grafted camellia oleifera is usually camellia oleifera seedlings or camellia oleifera seedlings. These two plants belong to Theaceae, and they are closely related. After grafting, it is easy to survive and grow fast.

Second, the grafting method

1. Grafting time: The grafting time of camellia can generally be from Qingming to Mid-Autumn Festival, mostly in June-July. At this time, the leaves are just unfolding, the temperature is high, the wound heals quickly and the survival rate is high. If the temperature is low, the grafting of plants will be difficult to succeed, and the scion will wither slowly if it is not nourished for a long time. 2. Scion treatment: Generally, the scion of camellia is selected from branches that grow healthily and have no diseases and insect pests. Leave a quarter of the leaves on it, and the buds should be full to facilitate subsequent growth. After the cuttings are cut, they should be cut obliquely at the bottom, so that the cambered layer is exposed from the side, and the length is about1.5 cm.3. Grafting: cut the rootstock of camellia from the incision along the xylem, about 2 cm deep. Just separate the bark from the xylem and don't cut it off. After cutting, insert the bottom of the scion, and the cambium between them should be right. If the sizes are different, one side should be aligned. 4. Follow-up maintenance: After the grafting is completed, the rootstock and scion of camellia need to be tied together to ensure that they will not be separated. At the same time, the incision should be sealed to avoid bacterial infection. In addition, you can put a bag on the upper part of the scion to keep it moist, but don't wrap the new shoots to avoid water dripping on it and causing rot.
