- Next, create a ball of grafting material such as sphagnum moss, peat moss, or a mix of potting soil and perlite.
- Moisten the grafting ball until it is damp but not soaking wet.
- Gently wrap the grafting ball around the cut portion of the plant, making sure it covers the area completely.
- Secure the grafting ball in place with grafting tape or plastic wrap to keep it in contact with the cut portion.
- Keep the grafting ball moist and check regularly for roots developing.
- Once roots have formed, you can carefully remove the grafting ball and plant the newly rooted section.
