The first wonderful use of wood residue: cutting medium

Many flower lovers like to do cuttings, but what should they do if there is not enough cutting medium? This is when sawdust can be of great help!

1. Put the sawdust for cuttings in a pot, add clean water and boil for about 10 minutes to sterilize the sawdust.

2. Dry the cooked sawdust, put it into a disposable plastic cup, insert the branches to be grafted into the sawdust, water it thoroughly and place it in a cool and ventilated place.

3. After grafting, keep the sawdust slightly moist, and spray a little water if it dries. Although sawdust does not take root as quickly as vermiculite, it is still easy to grow large white roots as long as it is properly maintained.

The second wonderful use of wood residue: high pressure breeding

After raising roses for a few years, many friends like to challenge the high-altitude layering method for reproduction. You may not know that tiny wood shavings can be a good helper for high-pressure breeding!

1. Choose the rose branches (or other woody plants) of the current year for ring barking. The ring barking incision should be about 1 cm.

2. Prepare a mineral water bottle, cut off the upper half of the bottle, cut the remaining bottom part along the bottle wall, and cut a small hole in the bottom of the bottle.

3. Put the cut mineral water bottle on the ringed branches, mix the wood shavings and sphagnum moss in a 1:1 ratio, water it thoroughly, and then put it into the mineral water bottle.

4. Wrap the mineral water bottle in a plastic bag and seal it tightly. In about 15 days, fine roots will grow on the branches!

Use wood residue for seed germination

Huahua discovered that many flower lovers are experts in Clivia, and Clivia can produce a lot of seeds every year. As long as these seeds are germinated properly, you can harvest a lot of Clivia!

1. Put the shavings for germination in a pot, add water and cook for about 10 minutes.

2. Dry the processed wood shavings and put them into the seedling box, and place the Clivia seeds that need to be germinated flat on it. After placing the seeds, spread a layer of wood shavings and water thoroughly.

3. Place the seedling box in a cool and ventilated place, spray water once in the morning and evening, and after about 10 days, buds will emerge from the seeds.

4. When the buds grow to 2-3cm, they can be transplanted. After transplanting, place it in a bright, well-ventilated place and maintain it normally.

Use wood residue for the fourth purpose: nourishing orchid roots

Orchids are considered to be the most precious flowers among all flowers. Due to their high price, many orchid lovers will buy flowers with poor root systems. Today, Huahua will teach you how to use wood shavings to nourish roots!

1. First prepare some hard planting materials specially for orchids and soak them in water for about 5 hours.

2. Put the soaked hard planting material into the flowerpot and bury the orchid. The depth should be determined according to the specific situation of the orchid, just keep the orchid straight.

3. Mix the wood shavings and fine planting material in a 1:1 ratio and spread them on the top of the hard planting material.

4. Finally, spread a layer of fine planting material on top of the wood shavings, then water it thoroughly and place it in a well-lit and ventilated place for maintenance.
