Grafting Plants- PDF ebook

Look Inside

It can seem a little overwhelming at the thought of grafting plants and which tools you can use as well as which plants are compatible for grafting. The Grafting Plants ebook will take the overwhelm away from grafting and will help you learn the basics of grafting and the right tools to select.

Generally, plants need to be very closely related to each other to be successfully grafted onto each other. Most successful grafts are between plants of the same species or plants of the same genus.

This ebook is ideal for the plant enthusiast willing to step out of their comfort zone and begin grafting plants.
