Hortimance Bridge Grafting Tubes

Transparent Silicone grafting tubes are used for grafting Brinjal, Tomato, chilli and many other tender vegetable seedlings.
Tubes are soft and made of flexible silicone having internal diameter of 2.5 mm and length 12mm.
The tubes are transparent hence you can see whether the slant cuts of both the scion and rootstock are matched inside the tube while grafting. The slant cuts should be matched, then only the grafting will be successful.
After healing of the grafted plants, you can directly transplant the grafted seedlings into the main field/grow bag without removing the tubes. This will make the grafted area undisturbed while transportation, handling and transplanting of the grafted plants. This will make the plants well established in the main field and prevents the death rate.
Tubes are self detached from plants after 45 days from the date of grafting.

• Give an upward slant cut to the roostock at 45 degree angle leaving 5cm from the base using sharp blade/ knife.

• Now insert half of the grafting tube into the rootstock.

• Now give a downward slant cut to the scion at 45 degree angle leaving 5 cm from the top of the scion.

• Now insert the scion into the remaining half of the grafting tube.

• Make sure the slant cuts of both scion and rootstock is matched inside the tube, So that the graft union will be successful.

• After grafting, place the grafted seedlings inside the healing chamber for 8 days.

• After 8 days the plants will be united, now take the seedlings out from the healing chamber and place them inside greenhouse/ shade net for another 7 days for complete healing.
