Can I save this avocado graft by approach grafting?
« on: February 12, 2023, 02:20:34 AM »
.. by approach grafting it onto another seedling?







As you can tell the main stem is drying out, Im wondering if humidity would help it to recover or its heading for certain death?
It started a few days ago, now Im thinking approach grafting it would be the only way to save it (newly formed stem)

(BTW the seedling is not moldy it simply looks brown when its young)

its a 2.5 month old graft, everything looked good so far, but after until about 1 week ago it started wilting

now I gave it extra humidity yesterday, its back to looking good again, but im not sure if its repairing at this point or just holding onto life for a while
?

Hi lajos93, sorry to say but your rootstock looks dead to me.  You could try re-grafting onto your other seedling, but your scion doesn't look that healthy.  Best to start over with a strong scion and rootstock.
