@@michellesotelo85 I used to make that mistake with grafted Watermelons, they always got sick. Here in Germany we have alot of fungal and bacterial infections regarding Cucumbers, Melons and Tomatos, so grafting is a must 👍
Yeah, I can't understand what you just did. Pretty shitty explanation in this video. Did you just graft swap roots of one to the other or graft the roots of one onto another making a two root system plant?
@@STARFIRESOLAR I think he has plenty of Videos explaining grafting, this was just a Short which forgot that tiny but important Detail. He took the Tomato Plant he wants the fruits of and grafted it onto another varieties rootstock which is disease free or better said resistent.

Plants are amazing. I once broke an orchid spike that was starting to bud. I was so sad, thinking I was going to lose those blooms. I took a little hair clip and used it to secure the broken spkie back where it belonged. It actually grafted back onto itself. I didn't do anything other than clip it securely. No wrapping it or extra humidity. Absolutely amazing if you ask me!
There's a really old tree near me, must have snapped at some point a long time ago coz about 2 feet above the ground it grows completely horizontal for about 8 feet then grows vertical again.
Thanks for that one!!! I used to grow a great many orchids. Some snapped off at times and broke my heart. Such a labor of love to grow them, huh. This will be my go to in the future should that happen again. Much appreciated, thank you!!
I live in the Midwest where we struggle with A LOT of fungus and diseases (I also have neighbors who don't do anything to mitigate these things and it spreads to my garden easily), so I often look for disease resistant types or keep seeds from plants that did the best... Wonder if grafting would be another way to get a more disease resistant plant 🤔
If there is soil disease and airborn one you can try to drafted two varieties with resistance for soil disease as rootbearer and inversly. But all this resistance stuff is playing with genetic and sadly not an holistic solution. For example soil health (cover, no till etc) and no chimical (fertilizer or pesticide which change plant ph-redox) are others options you can try :)
It seems to be mostly airborne things being carried over by the bugs. It's not too long after my neighbors start getting powdery mildew and leaf spot (the 2 most prevalent) that mine start doing the same. I'm going to try and keep on a weekly regime of Neem oil and copper fungicide this year. Hopefully that will help. And I'll be trying a different staking system with my tomatoes year, so they will be pruned more and hopefully that helps too.
@@aleenaprasannan2146 yeah, they sort of help, but in the Midwest we just have SO MANY BUGS 🥴 it's hard to manage. And there is a vast variety of bugs too. To this day I will always see a few bugs I've never seen before every year. Predator bugs are really helpful with aphids and some other smaller bugs, though!
@@kerrihiggins2106 There are some bugs who aren't picky, are voracious feeder who eat basically anything. If their is many different kinds of pest attacking, then you probably need to mix up a lot of techniques like trap crops in the boundary, pheromone traps and sticky traps of yellow, red and white
Grafting is a very popular technique among vintners to get more desireable or unique grapes as well! It can also be used to match a desired grape variety with a soil type that doesn't grow that grape well. Take the top of the grape you want and the lower woody stem of a species that absorbs the nutrients present in the soil better than the top half!
@@packratswhatif.3990 yea, they're both Solanacae so they're compatible. Same with eggplant. (which has awful roots so always graft it to tomato roots)
Or you can allow your tomato to grow at least three or four additional leaves. This should put it around a foot tall. Cut all over leaves off except for the very top. And then planted all the way to the top of those leaves. This will force the plant to grow strong roots all the way down that part of the plant you just buried. It does the same thing without losing a lot of plants to this grafting
I think you are missing the point. The purpose of grafting is to make a low fruit producing, disease prone variety of tomato produce more and better quality fruit on a plant than will better resist disease by using a hardy vigorous root stock.
Once the roots are cut the graft, clone, or propagation can only take moisture in through the leaves, make sure you use a dome. Some cultivators have rooms that keep constant appropriate moisture in the air, this is the only time you do not need a dome to my knowledge.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT PLANT IT ABOVE THE CUT! The tomatoe will grow its own roots and all the superpowers (aka immunity against fungi etc) will be useless...
This made me realize I did the same thing with my houseplant when my cat knocked it over and it snapped at the stem. I was 10 when it happened and just sobbed hysterically and wrapped it in band-aids and couldn't believe it worked lol
We have a semi-dwarf apple tree with a broken branch, duct-taped and zip-tied to a branch above for support. 2nd spring after the fix and branch is all leafed out and doing it's darndest to blossom and fruit. It's true, duct tape can fix ANYTHING 😂
If im not mistaken, you want to make sure to keep the graft above the soil level when planting to prevent the top half from putting out roots and bypassing the grafted roots.
*Hybrid hybrid is a more natural way on how two plant genetics are becoming one GMO is as the name suggest and it comes from laboratory where some chemicals are used
He says he grafted 2 tomato plants. They are the same species, but different varieties. The varieties are named in the video. I do wish they wouldn’t talk so fast in these clips. They are very hard to follow.
You don’t have to buy a rootstock, just throw some heirloom tomatoes on the ground and wait for next season, the thriving volunteers will make the best rootstock for your garden. Let them grow to fruit or clone the suckers.
for folks that want to do this, make sure not to plant the grafted spot below the soil line! tomatoes can grow roots from whatever part of the stem is buried, and planting the graft under the soil would negate its beneficial effects
This is how we have a ton of the plants we have today. Grafting and selectively breeding them to get the traits we look for. Like bigger harvests, sweeter, bigger flesh, etc. It's crazy how we've been doing this for thousands of years! 🌱 Oh and these are GMOs, and as you can see, are incredibly useful. So what's with this anti-GMO fuss recently?
Just an important tip, don't bury the graft point in soil or you'll encourage it to root at that point instead and the rootstock won't be as effective :)

@@SoCalgardener Exactly, this is a request for more grafting topics.
Grafting has to be one of the coolest things I've ever learned about.
grafting increases the mortality rate significantly so they may provide the species you want but it is at higher risk.
