Grafting Tomato onto Potato Rootstock - How Easy Is It?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- In this video I take you through my attempts to graft tomato plant scions onto potato rootstock and create a "pomato plant". Grafting is an old technique used to improve disease resistance and increase harvest yields. In this video I will be attempting cleft grafts as well as whip and tongue grafts. I hope that sharing my experience will let other novice gardeners such as myself get a look into the grafting process, how easy it is or isn’t, and help them decide if it’s worth the effort/risks.
Please let me know in the comments your thoughts on how I grafted this plant and what I may have done wrong. All grafting tips and tricks will be hugely appreciated! I know the community will have great info to share as they always do. Thanks for sharing it- I love learning from you all!

Grafting Potato + Tomato = Pomato
It's easy. Wish we are neighbours. Plant both tomato and potato saplings very close by. Without totalling cutting off make incissons on both the stems. Bind both touching incissoned parts together. When they are healed cut and discard tomato's root and also potato's stem. That way you get tomato harvest upward and potato downwards. Easy.
Thanks for sharing! Will give that a try next time
@@JimmyBHarvests All the best.👍
That's the smart way👍
Since burlap can be used for a gardening barrier, I'm thinking of growing these in burlap sacks above ground, to better get to the potatoes.
Sounds like a fine idea to me!
My experience is that woodier plants seem to graft a lot easier. I've seen lots of stone fruit and apple, citrus grafting. But not so much with soft stemmed plants such as tomatoes and potatoes. Keep trying!
Have you seen the plethora of successful cannabis grafts?
Looks like cannabis might be a bit easier to graft- will hopefully give it a try soon
I've read a historical book from a century or so ago that detailed grafting and it origins and vines were the first to be grafted. Maybe do like nick suggests and get a heavy part of the tomatoe vines
Aren't those leaves on the tomato scion needlessly large and evaporating plenty of water? I imagine you can cut away some of em and leave say, half of one leaf, thus greatly reducing evaporation, giving more time for graft to take. Especially if you leave some potato leaves on initially, this probably improves your chances
Hydroponic grafting?
I’d really like to see you do this.
You should try cannabis grafts with other vegetables.
Also do you think cannabis could sprout, root, grow out of a potato?
I definitely hope to try some more grafting on the channel in the future. It’s a really cool concept, though I haven’t had much luck with it so far. I’ve seen a lot of internet content growing things out of bananas and potatoes.. not sure how well it really works. Could be fun to try
Try use parafilm m
I may seem dumb but what was the intention for doing grafting of tomato plant on potato plant..y🤔
Then one plant will grow both tomatoes and potatoes. That would save space. Disease resistances can also increase as a result of grafting. Grafting tomato onto eggplant is common and helps yields
@@JimmyBHarvests oh wow thanks for the info..field of gardening is vast 🙏
I think you've had way too many leaves on the tomato scions and too short and flimsy stems so they were essentially drying out themselves. Wish you some better luck next time
Thanks for the tips!
You tried on plants when they were too young
Alright thanks for the tip!
The area in the pot is too dry. The cutting is being dried out. The cutting is doomed if it cannot keep moist. I saw your potting mix was very dry, proving that its far too dry for the tomato cutting to survive. Spray water after grafting, then place a bag a lot closer over the cutting area. Such as right over the pot, but spray first. I'm sure it will take then.
Thanks for sharing!!
I have done this several times with a high survival rate. Your initial grafting technique is my go to method. My advice is 1. Make clean precise cuts never saw back and forth when making incisions as this does more damage to the surface that your trying to join. 2. Micro pore tape works well to secure the graft and allows respiration. 3. Use sterile utensils
Thanks for sharing!
Can you tell me more about this tape?
The plastic wrap might be a little to weak to hold the two plants together and you should get a stronger stem so it will have enough life to regenerate
You have to dip the cuttings in water as soon as they're taken so that the scions don't oxidize
Thanks for the tip!
This was an L . Ur a real one tho for making into more then a loss . This is a Lesson . Thanks for the knowledge 😁🤙
Grafting needs to be done as fast as possible with high levels of rh try again but spray the plastic your using for your green house as well try moving your green house is more shade if its 90° outside its like 110 in that green house
Thanks for the tips! The greenhouse was likely hot af
Next up grafting cannabis to aubergine
😂
Actually u took the small branches of tomato 🌱plant ..... Instead u should take the actual thick stem of tomato and also the age of both plants should be almost same
Keep your blade clean my man. Sterilize it with 99% ISO
Dammit, Tom! Always noticing my laziness! 😂
JimmyB Harvests You’re not lazy! Some people just don’t realize that dirty blades affect plants by passing around pathogens, viruses, bacteria etc. I always wipe off a new blade, then clean between each cut while cloning. That thing you used looked filthy! Haha!
Healing chamber needs to be in a complete darkness for best results, for at least 72 hours, try next time, hope it works!
Awesome thanks for the tip!
This super interesting! Man wish you lived little closer we would be good friends I love your channel and all cool stuff your doing!
Glad you’re enjoying it!! 🙏🙏😊
i can grow frch fries and ketchup on the same plant??? here's my money lol
Use plumbers tape instead of saran wrap
Thanks for the tip Martin!
Misting the leaves can help with moisture loss issues.
No one said playing god would be easy lol.
😂😂 so true
Don't put it in a green house. Put it in shade for a week or two, no direct sun.
Thanks for the tip!
more like how not to do it
I always make a humidity bubble with a sandwich bag also it takes like a month sometimes more meaning its rarely worth it unless you are grafting trees
Really? A month? Woweee
I'm currently working on a project where I'll be grafting an apple tree to a potato
Super cool- best of luck! Please video and share your results!
Lol😅
Isn't it because the patato leaves is poisonous
Haven't heard that before
can you grow some strawberry in hydroponics? I mean make a video for us to watch. thanks to you, I have a garden now.
Strawberries are definitely on my list of things to try! Good luck with your new garden!
Great man showing his failures.
🤗
@@JimmyBHarvests 👍
I'm trying to graft growth from a mature pecan tree to new pecan root stock. The benefit is a tree that will begin producing years earlier than normal.
Similar to a cloned tomato plant fruiting sooner.
Very cool! Best of luck with it!
Bagus sekali. Terimakasih
Sorry bro you did the whip and tounge all wrong
If you’ve got better knowledge feel free to share it
👍🤙💪🌱🌳✌️
🙏🙏😁
Love this video!! Very informative.
Thanks Scaredy!
