How to propagate Syzygium wilfordii

time

Syzygium wilfordii is generally propagated by aerial layering, also known as ring branch propagation. The propagation time is approximately from May to September each year, which is a season of high temperature and high rainfall.

step

When propagating Syzygium wilfordii, you should choose branches with a diameter of about 75px and relatively good development. First, peeling should be done. The peeling length of about 75px needs to be done at the base of the plant. After peeling, the peeled area and its upper and lower parts need to be wrapped with a mud ball made of relatively moist soil and grass mixture, and then sealed with transparent tape and wrapped up. After a month, new roots will grow at the peeled place; about three months later, many new roots will grow one after another. At this time, you need to cut it short below the rooting part, and independent seedlings will be formed.

Transplanting

After the seedlings are cultivated, it is recommended to transplant them in the nursery for further cultivation, and then plant the plants in the field in the spring of the following year.

Planting

It is best to plant Syzygium wilfordii in spring. The specific distribution is that the row spacing is 4 meters x 5 meters. Dig deep holes, one meter deep. Apply more fertilizers, 50 kilograms of miscellaneous fertilizers and garbage are needed for each hole. Choose good seedlings, first choose first-class seedlings, and plant 200 plants per hectare first, and then gradually thin them out.
