What do you need to pay attention to when cutting figs?

Spring cuttings of figs, generally from early March to early April, after the sap in the tree begins to flow. Combined with spring pruning, cut those full-growing branches into small segments about 20 cm long, cut the lower part into a horse ear shape, and then cut directly cuttings.

Cuttings of figs, the selection of branches, must choose the fruit-rich mother plant branches. I have also cut figs myself, but because the branches I chose were long and not fruitful, the figs from the cuttings basically did not bear fruit. The cuttings must be the branches on the fruit-rich mother plant.

Fig branches are prone to adventitious roots, and cuttings are mostly used for propagation in production. Fig cuttings are usually done in March and April, when the average daily temperature reaches more than 15 degrees Celsius. Select fully mature one- and two-year-old branches (if the diameter of the cuttings reaches centimeters, the survival rate of cuttings is more than 80%).

Cut into 15 cm long cuttings with two or three plump buds. When cutting cuttings, cut the upper end of the branch 1 cm away from the bud into a flat mouth. The lower end is cut into a beveled mouth to increase the contact surface with the soil, which is conducive to rooting, and it is easy to identify the upper and lower ends of the cuttings to avoid inverted insertion.

For the promotion. The cuttings are rooted, and they are soaked in clean water for 12 to 24 hours. The length of soaking time, according to the degree of water loss of the cuttings, the cut is less water loss than the bright green, the soaking time can be shorter, the cut white water loss is more, the soaking time can be longer. Then soak the base of the cuttings with acetic acid 200 to 800 mg per liter for 2 to 4 cm for 3 minutes.

Remove in the shade and let it be inserted. The depth of the soil is about 1 3 of the cuttings. Watering and covering grass after planting, and pay attention to weeding and top dressing after survival.

1. Cuttings method.

Fig cuttings can be made in mud pots (tile pots) with a diameter of more than 20 cm. This kind of basin is rough, cheap, easy to use, and has good water seepage and air permeability. The substrate for cuttings can choose clean river sand (or construction sand) and humus with high organic matter content, both of which are exposed to the sun and dried thoroughly before use, and try to remove slightly larger stones in the sand to make the substrate more uniform.

Then mix the two in equal volumes and put them in a pot for later use.

2. Cutting time.

Fig cuttings can be made from early March to early May, before the branches are leafy.

Fig propagation method

1. Cuttings. Fig cuttings are generally carried out in spring, after selecting strong branches and buds to cut them with a knife, soak them in water for three days, or they can be directly soaked in rooting water for 12 hours to increase the survival rate. The cuttings are then inserted directly into the soil where they are to be transplanted.

Keep the soil moist and control the amount of watering. After 1 month, it will slowly live.

2. Branching. Fig raming is in February, when the roots of the figs need to be exposed. Some roots and seedlings will sprout on top of the roots, and the roots and seedlings will be cut off along with the branches of the roots.

After that, just plant the roots directly in the newly transplanted soil, water the soil and wait for it to gradually grow.

Figs are safe for the wider the way of the winter.

1. Fruit tree environment.

Figs are a seasonal fruit in the south, and if they are grown in the cold environment of the north, it will affect its growth and fruiting. If you grow figs in the north, you must pay attention to choosing a suitable environment for its growth, preferably a leeward and sunny place, do not let the figs be whistling by the cold winter wind, and be sure to ensure that the figs are exposed to more sun.

Fig cuttings time and method: cutting time, substrate selection, shoot handling, cutting substrate, cuttings.

1. Cutting time

The cutting time of figs is generally changed in mid and late March every year, when the temperature is not high, the plant has just begun to resume growth, and the cuttings have a high survival rate. Cuttings can also be taken in summer, but the requirements for shoots are higher. In winter, the temperature is low, and it is not possible to take root after cuttings.

2. Substrate selection

The best soil for growing figs is a moist sandy soil that is not easy to accumulate water, of course, choose loose and breathable soil or use vermiculite, large particles of river sand, etc.

3. Handle branches

Cut the branches into cuttings in sections, cut the upper end of the cuttings into a flat mouth, and the lower end into an oblique one to increase the contact area with the soil. The cut cuttings can be soaked in rooting water for a period of time to replenish water and increase the rooting rate.

4. Cutting substrate

Prepare the substrate for cuttings, and choose sandy soil with good permeability, which requires good air permeability and drainage, which can be conducive to the survival of cuttings.

5. Carry out cuttings

The fig branches are dried in the shade, and two-thirds of the cuttings are inserted into the soil when the number of wide potato cuttings is made, and the soil is gently compacted after cuttings, and the soil is watered thoroughly to keep the soil moist and maintain a suitable temperature, and it can take root in about a month.

Fig cuttings are done in the spring by sowing seeds from cuttings.

In addition, cuttings are generally best taken in late spring every year, and germination can occur in about 1 month under the condition that the soil is kept moist. However, figs can also be cut in December to February of the following year, but the survival rate is very low, and the cuttings should be sand stored before cuttings, and the growth rate will be very slow, so most of them are cut in spring every year, so the survival rate of figs will be very high.

2. Method: Cut the cuttings in the early morning, cut them to a length of 15 20 cm, keep 2 leaves, and cut off 1 2 large leaves. The cut should be smooth, not split, and should be inserted with picking.

Soak the base of the cuttings with 500 mg of naphthalene acetic acid solution for 5 10 seconds, followed by cuttings. Straight insertion, row spacing 20 cm, plant spacing 15 cm, sock sail depth 5 7 cm. After cutting, watering thoroughly, shading 80% 90%, temperature control below 30, in the case of 19 26, about 20 days after planting rooting.

After the cuttings are lived, each seedling retains 1 bud.

Maintenance of figs

When figs are cut into cuttings, it is best to keep the water sufficient, generally watered once a day, keep the potting soil moist best, because the cold tolerance of figs is very poor, so in winter when burying the soil or covering it with a layer of leaves or straw and other substances, so as not to affect the growth of the plant frostbite. After fig cuttings, it is best to apply a compound fertilizer solution with nitrogen fertilizer as the main dispersant once every other month, and then pour an appropriate amount of water in time.

During the growth period, it is appropriate to add a well-rotted organic fertilizer solution every 20 days or so, but reduce fertilization in winter, and it is best to drain the water to avoid causing water to rot roots. Reasonable pruning and shaping can promote the growth and development of figs, it is best to cut off the excess branches on the plant in time during the growth period, retain the 3 5 main branches of the main trunk, and cut off the dead branches, rotten branches, and weak branches on the top, in order to ensure the full concentration of nutrients, and promote the formation of flowers and fruits.

1. Figs have strong survivability and can be cut all year round.

2. But when the temperature is about 20 degrees, the survival rate of cuttings is higher, so it is best to take cuttings in spring, which is conducive to the growth of the later stage, after the cuttings survive, it can germinate in about 30 days, and if it is managed properly, it can bear fruit in that year.

3. Select some branches that have grown for one or two years, and then cut the wide plum into 15cm long segments with sterile scissors, and finally cut the top 1cm away from the bud into a flat mouth, and the lower end of the pit into a 45-degree oblique mouth for soaking. In general, it is best to prune branches with two buds in early autumn, and pruned to branches with four buds is best if they are pruned in mid-autumn or late autumn, so as to improve the survival rate.
