Tropical Fruit Discussion / Choice post-graft conditions for subtropicals
« on: February 28, 2022, 05:14:43 PM »
Hi all 
,
I will soon receive scions of avocados, white sapotes and atemoya to graft.
I have already graft temperate fruit and vegetables but it will be the first time for subtropical fruits.
Regarding the graft in itself I know how I will proceed but it is about the post-graft period that I ask myself questions.
I have 3 several possible scenarios that this is :
1) Putting young grafting plants in a cold greenhouse outside, but here there are still nights at 30°F.
Risk of failure by the cold?
2) Putting young grafting plants in my house, near a window.
Risk of failure by too dry indoor?
3) Putting young grafting plants in an airtight box in my house, saturated with moisture, and open the lid of the box small to small to acclimatize gradually.
Risk of failure by lack of aeration (rot)?
What do you think is the best choice to do?
Thank you in advance for your precious help.
