Fertilizing after grafting

[Ethan]

After you graft a plant, do you give it any special ferts like B-1, lay off the ferts all together until the graft is growing or just carry on with regular ferts like nothing happened?  Any difference in container culture vs. in ground?

thanks,

I thought Crane said in one of his vids to fertilize.

It is easy to kill plants with fertilizer when the canopy has recently been severely reduced or completely beheaded.

I try to make the rootstock happy before grafting and don't do anything special after. I tend to under fertilize everything anyway. It's hard to remember to fertilize.

Thank you for your replies,
it makes sense to take it easy on the plant especially if you completely beheaded it.  After grafting, I tend to leave them alone and wait for some real growth to show.  I fertilize on the 1rst of each month to help me remember, I also tend to under fert but do it more often.  Except for my bananas and guavas which get lots of fert (bananas get 1rst and 15th).

Hey Ethan,
I had great results when i fertilzed more than a month before grafting cherimoya.

The cherimoya rootstock was hibernating...gave it a bit of coffee...successfull graft...Yippee
