Grafting? Seems like air layering and you might have removed the cambium (xylem and phloem) as well.too much dissection done

sorry its air layering not grafting.
In which month should I go 4 air layering & grafting?
I knew I have removed all d cambium.
So should I need 2 make only some scratches on d stem?

The summers are best time for this... scratch a bit to remove the upper layer thinly...

Dissect only till u expose the cambium, don't damage cambium. It is this cambium that keeps providing the water n nutrients to the upper part of the plant. Damage the cambium and the upper part will die in a few days
