The climate should be suitablePodocarpus is native to relatively warm areas in China. The overall growth process has created a growth habit that is slightly cold-resistant and particularly warm-loving. The suitable temperature for growth is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius . If the cutting temperature is too high, the healthy tissue of the branch will be burned; if the temperature is too low, the healthy tissue of the branch will be frozen. Therefore, in order to improve the survival rate of Podocarpus cuttings propagation, whether the climate is suitable is very important. According to its physiological characteristics, the branches in spring have a stronger ability to sprout roots, so it is recommended to carry out cutting propagation at this time. In addition, when carrying out cutting propagation in spring, it is best to avoid rainy weather to prevent the growth of bacteria. Healthy branchesThe branches on the Podocarpus plant are very dense, and the regeneration ability of each branch is different. If you choose old branches, diseased branches, long branches, etc., it will not bring strong regeneration ability, thus reducing the overall survival rate. Therefore, in order to improve the survival rate of Podocarpus cutting propagation, it is very important to choose healthy branches. According to its physiological characteristics, it is recommended to use dormant branches as cuttings for spring cutting propagation. For example, the length should be controlled at about 12 cm, three leaves should be retained, and all others should be trimmed, and the roots should be trimmed into an oblique shape. High-quality soilPodocarpus is sensitive to soil and prefers slightly acidic soil. If alkaline soil is used for cutting propagation, it will hinder the normal breathing of the branches. In addition, the branches' autonomous breathing ability is weak, which will eventually reduce the survival rate of cutting propagation. Therefore, in order to improve the survival rate of Podocarpus cutting propagation, it is necessary to use high-quality soil with a slightly acidic state for cuttings, so as to assist the rapid growth of branches and promote rapid germination of roots. It is recommended to use vermiculite for cutting propagation, which can promote branch breathing and reduce the chance of root rot. In addition, the soil must be disinfected before use, and it is recommended to spread it on the cement floor and expose it to the sun for 48 hours. Maintenance should be scientificAfter the Podocarpus branches are inserted into the soil, due to the lack of roots, the overall breathing and light absorption capabilities are weak. If they are immediately maintained like adult plants, root rot will easily occur. Therefore, in order to improve the survival rate of Podocarpus cutting propagation, the branches need to be maintained and managed to promote rooting after being inserted into the soil, which is different from the maintenance method of adult plants. First, place it in a cool and ventilated place, away from strong light. Secondly, to keep the small space moist, you cannot rely solely on watering the soil, you need to spray water into the air to increase the humidity. Finally , no fertilizer can be applied for the time being. |
