Cutting propagationThis method of propagation is frequently used in rhododendrons and is the main method used by this plant. Here are the specific steps. Under normal circumstances, we choose May to June for breeding. First of all, we need to choose the substrate we want to use. It is ideal if it contains a lot of humus, is slightly acidic, has good air permeability, and is soft. Next, choose those sturdy, semi-woody, and preferably new branches, about five to eight centimeters in length. After selecting, cut off the leaves at the bottom and keep only two or three leaves on the top to use as cuttings. After treatment, dip their bases in a solution such as rooting powder for a while. Then, insert them into the matrix we have prepared. Post-management is also very important. First of all, the temperature should be controlled within the range of 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. In addition, appropriate shading measures should be taken. Also, we need to maintain humidity, such as spraying at the right time. Only in this way can they sprout new roots. Softwood propagationThis method of propagation involves selecting relatively tender branches as materials, then cutting three to four centimeters as scions, shaving their bases with a sharp knife, and cutting them into a wedge shape. Then, use Rhododendron as the rootstock and adopt the method of cleft grafting on the young branches to achieve the purpose of propagation of this plant. After the above processing, it is the post-management. It is best to place them in a cool place, then tie them with plastic film and cover them with a plastic bag to help keep them moist. |
