What is the best way to graft a sunflower?
I had a giant sunflower once but one day the stem broke,but not into two halves. The stem had bent over so I pulled one of it's leaves off and wrapped it around the fracture then wound celotape which was enough to make it upright.
Fractured stems of many plants can be healed if you realign the stems, and hold them firmly in place. I use an adhesive tape when I'm grafting, and this helps keep out infection etc.
If you can add something to the plant to keep it upright, like a bamboo cane fixed with a plant tie, to prevent breakage from strong winds, this will help. Your sunflower will then attempt to knit the break, and may be fine in 2 or 3 weeks of good growth. Ensure that your tape doesn't restrict the thickening growth of your sunflower's stem, loosen or remove it if necessary.
Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
