Grafting clips: how to choose the right grafting clip?
A wide variety of crops are grafted using grafting clips, including pepper, tomato, egg plant, cucumber, zucchini and (water)melon. The clips are specifically designed for vegetable cultivation, in particular for tomatoes, they are also known as tomato grafting clips. As each seedling requires different growth conditions, choosing the correct clip is crucial. Our specialist explains the different types of grafting clips in this article and helps you choose the right grafting clip for your growing conditions.
Advantages of grafting clips
Grafting your crop enables better plant resistance and higher quality production. Your crop will be better resistent against plant diseases. Futhermore, the root system will be better developed. As a result, the plant can easily absorb water and nutrients such as fertilizers. Choose the clip that fits your needs.
Grafting clips for tomato, sweet pepper and egg plant
Tomato plants are quite subsceptible for plant diseases. Therefore, tomato plants have been grafted for a long time. Based on your crop circumstances you can choose between two types of clips. It depends on the growth conditions whether you choose a hard or soft plastic grafting clip. Due to the cultivation of fairly tough plants in Mediterranean countries, rigid clips are preferred over more flexible, softer clips. When it comes to moderate climates, flexible and soft grafting clips are preferred. We offer a wide range of strong and flexible clips specifically designed for pepper clips, cucumber clips and tomato grafting clips.

- PS1: this clip is appropriate for various stem thicknesses. Available in size 7 mm.
- PS7: this clip is appropriate for smaller stem thicknesses. It is by far the most used grafting clip for tip grafting of cucurbits. Available in size 6 mm.
