Hibiscus is highly ornamental and blooms all year round, especially in summer. Therefore, many friends like to plant hibiscus in their homes for appreciation. The two most common methods of propagating hibiscus are cuttings and grafting , especially cuttings, which are the most commonly used because of their high survival rate. Hibiscus cutting timeThe time for hibiscus cuttings should be chosen in spring or autumn . Generally speaking, spring is more suitable because the temperature and humidity at this time are conducive to plant growth, which makes the survival rate of cuttings higher. Hibiscus cutting method1. Soil Before hibiscus cuttings, you need to prepare fertile, loose, breathable and well-drained soil. It is recommended to use river sand directly or mix river sand with garden soil. After preparation, it needs to be disinfected. You can use potassium permanganate solution or 100℃ boiling water to sterilize and disinfect. 2. Branches It is recommended to choose 1-2 year old branches, which are already woody, not as fragile as young branches, and easier to prune than old branches. Keep the length about 8 cm. In addition, except for the 2-3 leaves on the top, remove all the other leaves and place them in a ventilated place to dry for later use. 3. Cuttings Finally, you can use a wooden stick to poke holes in the soil, and then insert the cuttings into the holes to a depth of 2/5 of the cuttings. Too deep or too shallow is not conducive to plant development. In addition, remember to compact the soil after cutting to fix it. Rooting of Hibiscus CuttingsAfter the hibiscus cuttings are completed, water it to keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. You can cover it with a film or glass to keep it warm and moisturized. You can move it to a place with direct sunlight for maintenance so that it will take root soon. |
