The existing root ball needs the plant above the ground to be able to sustain its health - its a two way thing - roots support the plant and the plant makes the energy for the roots to grow and exist. Grafting a seedling onto an older and much larger rootstock would mean most of the roots dying, if not all. due to the small seedling being unable to produce enough "goodness" and energy to keep the roots healthy. Sounds tempting, but as with most things in life, there are no free lunches! Hope this helps,........ Organoman.

So is it meant to grow the seedling in the same container as the growing plants if I understand correctly? If so, it only makes sense if the seedling belongs to a super vigorous strain, otherwise it will have limited root growth because it’s restricted by the larger ones. On the other hand, it could stimulate competitive growth, which might make the plant significantly stronger 😎 but I wouldn't be too sure about that; it could just as easily go south 😂

grafting works, but it's not useful, it's like the plant carries the shock with it for the remainder of its time. i use this special liquid on the graft to make it take. it works. looks cool... kinda. you want your "root ball" to be healthy though , think of how you want to harvest it to give it a fighting chance, that's my advice. Hope this helps ! 🚀
