Layering propagation

Layering propagation is to press the branches from the mother plant into the soil. After they take root, the new branches are separated from the mother plant to form an independent new plant. Layering is divided into low-pressure propagation and high-pressure propagation.

Low pressure breeding

Low-pressure propagation is to directly bend the branches and press them into the soil, and wait for them to take root. It is generally suitable for plants whose branches are close to the ground and easy to bend, such as roses, chrysanthemums, fuchsias, cherries, etc.

Breeding tips:

1. Select 1-2 year old branches, make cuts on the lower part, then press them into the soil horizontally or by bending them, fix them, bury them firmly, and keep the soil moist;

2. After the layering takes root, it will mature and become an independent plant in about one or two months.

High pressure breeding

High-pressure propagation is suitable for plants whose branches are high off the ground, not easy to bend, and difficult to graft, such as camellia, bougainvillea, litchi, white jasmine, etc.

Breeding tips:

1. Choose two-year-old healthy branches without diseases and insect pests for layering; peel off the 1~2cm wide ring of outer skin 2~3mm below the axillary bud, and then apply some IBA auxin;

2. Wrap a few layers of plastic film 3 to 5 cm below the wound, then turn it over and fill it with moist moss, peat soil or sawdust. Seal the top and leave enough space. Add water and light and it will take root soon.

Cutting propagation

Cutting is the process of selecting part of the plant's organs for cultivation. The more suitable flowers include green ivy, ivy, Christmas cactus, hydrangea, rose, peony, etc. Huahua will take the green radish as an example to introduce it.

Cutting Tips

1. Choose semi-lignified branches with aerial roots, about 10 cm long, with the cut at the bottom tilted at 45 degrees, and keep a leaf at the top of the cutting.

2. Place the cuttings in a mixture of sand and perlite, water them thoroughly and place them in a cool, diffused light place to keep them ventilated.

3. Water every 3 days to keep the soil moist. It will take root in about 20 days and can be maintained normally after half a month.

Grafting

Grafting is divided into scion and rootstock. The rootstock is the grafted one, and the scion is generally divided into branch grafting and bud grafting. Suitable grafting in summer includes wild rose and rose grafting, red maple and green maple grafting, camellia and sasanqua grafting, etc. Huahua will take rose as an example to introduce them.

Breeding tips

1. Cut several disease-free rose branches of about 10 cm in length as rootstocks, remove all leaves and buds; then cut a section of semi-lignified rose branches that have just bloomed as cuttings.

2. Cut the grafting interface: cut a 3cm long interface from top to bottom on the rose rootstock.

3. Choose rose leaf buds with full bud points as grafting buds, and then cut a grafting incision that is just the right size to match the incision of the rootstock.

4. Embed the grafted bud in the interface of the rose rootstock, align the two sides, and wrap the grafted part tightly with transparent plastic film, exposing the bud point, but the grafted bud will not move.

5. After the grafting is successful, transplant the branches into loose and fertile soil and place them in a well-lit and ventilated place for maintenance. After about 10 days, the grafted buds will grow significantly.

Propagation by division

Division actually means separating the clustered branches of flowers from the mother plant and cultivating them separately. Money tree, orchid, peony, asparagus fern, Clivia, etc. are all suitable for division propagation. Now, Huahua will introduce to you the division propagation of Clivia.

Breeding tips

1. Choose the time when the Clivia flowers have withered and 5 to 6 buds have grown, and then divide the plants. Before dividing, the soil medium and scissors must be disinfected and sterilized.

2. Take the mother plant out of the pot, shake it gently to peel off the soil without damaging the roots, and then use scissors to cut the mother plant and the new plant short and separate them.

3. After division, apply wood ash or charcoal powder on the wound to prevent infection by diseases and pests.

4. After drying, transplant the new plants with the root tips facing down into a mixture of vermiculite and perlite. Keep the soil moist and breathable. Place it in a cool place and maintain it normally for half a month.

Seed propagation

Generally, annual herbaceous flowers are more suitable for seed propagation and bloom quickly, such as petunia, Mirabilis jalapa, sunflower, Scutellaria barbata, cornflower, etc. Today, Huahua will introduce the seed propagation of Mirabilis jalapa.

Breeding tips

1. Use ordinary garden soil mixed with a small amount of sand, stone and wood ash, water it thoroughly, then sow the seeds evenly in the soil, cover with a thin layer of soil, spray water from time to time to keep it moist, and it will germinate after about a week.

2. 3 to 4 weeks after germination, plant the seedlings in large pots. Mix humus, compost and sand in a ratio of 3:3:4. Water them every 2 to 3 days and place them in a place with diffuse light for normal management.

Today Huahua will teach you five breeding techniques.
