If you want to graft chrysanthemum trees well, you must first choose excellent rootstocks that can be used for grafting. To graft any plants and flowers, we must have plants of the same family to survive. Artemisia annua and Artemisia argyi belong to compositae, and it is also possible to graft chrysanthemum. Artemisia annua has vigorous growth, stout trunk, developed root system and good branching and affinity. Artemisia annua is generally used as the grafting stock for chrysanthemum and chrysanthemum tree modeling in gardening. The pictures below are all chrysanthemum trees grafted by themselves.

Artemisia annua is a typical short-day plant of Panicum, which has special fragrance and developed root system. It will grow in front of the house in the countryside, but few people in the city can know this plant. The whole plant can grow to a height of 1 meter, and its leaves are similar to those of Marguerite chrysanthemum. It blooms and bears fruit from June to September and dies in winter. The seeds of Artemisia annua germinate very easily. Sprinkle it in a flowerpot at will every spring, and it will germinate in a week. However, I seldom sow. I leave a plant of Artemisia annua in the flower bed every year, let it blossom and bear fruit, and the next year I will grow inexhaustible seedlings of Artemisia annua. ..

In spring, when Artemisia annua seedlings grow to about 10cm, they can be potted. It is best to mix garden soil and humus soil when potted, and put appropriate amount of organic fertilizer when planting. Artemisia annua grows very fast. Every once in a while, the unnecessary side branches should be cut off, so that the trunk and the side branches that need to be grafted can grow strong and thick. When Artemisia annua grows to a certain height, it can be grafted. The grafting method is split grafting, cutting off the upper part of the rootstock and grafting chrysanthemum scion. The operation is simple and easy to survive, and it can be cured in about 10 days. After survival, the post-management is to top it several times. First, let it grow more lateral branches to make the crown full. Second, control the height and the height of the whole crown to make the whole tree look better.

Chrysanthemum and Artemisia annua are both herbaceous plants, which are basically difficult to survive the winter and need to be grafted the next year. However, I am also trying to prune the failed chrysanthemum tree and put it in the greenhouse for the winter to see if it can continue to grow and bloom next year.

Through our introduction, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of what trees chrysanthemums can graft.
