How to improve the survival rate of monthly cuttings

1. Select cuttings.

1.Seedling selection. The selection of seedlings for cuttings is very important, and those who are too tender or too old are not suitable for cuttings. It is advisable to choose branches with thick branches and dark green colors (neither baby green nor brown color is suitable);

2.Ring skin. Circle a circle of about centimeters of skin close to 1 cm below the eye of the bud, and cut it again after a week, so that the survival rate is the highest;

To ensure a 100% survival rate, you can refer to the high-pressure propagation method provided by other flower friends, that is, wrap it in mud at the gap, and it will take root in about a month. However, this method also has drawbacks, it is only suitable for strong branches, and it reproduces slowly. However, the usual cuttings can propagate dozens of seedlings at one time, and the selection range of branches is large, even pruned branches can be used as cuttings for propagation as long as the conditions are suitable.

2. "Waste utilization".

However, for novices, it is recommended to choose some weak branches for pruning and use them to practice, otherwise in case of failure, the gains outweigh the losses.

Some flower friends will secretly go to the garden or some green areas to prune and take home, in fact, this method is not impossible, but the premise must not harm the growth of the original plants, can not destroy the original shape, if for their own "small garden" and destroy everyone's appreciation environment, it is not good.

If it is a branch that is "secretly" cut in a garden or other place, you must pay attention when transporting it home, remove the branches and leaves, then wrap them in a soaked paper towel, and then pack them in a plastic bag, so that you can avoid hurting yourself and protect the branches from being touched.

Remember: can not be carried out in the summer high temperature cuttings, high temperature environment is difficult to sprout cuttings, and bacteria in the soil breeding, a large situation is the cause of the failure of cuttings.

In order for a cuttings incision to grow healing tissue and new roots quickly, the following conditions need to be met:

1) Temperature. Keeping the temperature at around 25 is most beneficial for the rapid growth of healing tissue and hair roots. The temperature is too high and it is easy to rot; The temperature is too low and it takes too long for the healing tissue to form.

2) Moisture. The most suitable soil moisture for cuttings is a soil moisture content of 15% to 20%. If the humidity is too high and the oxygen is insufficient, it is easy to suffocate the branches.

3) Air. After the cuttings take root, the upper part has sprouted new shoots, at this time, if the ventilation is poor, the humidity is too large, it is easy to cause the new roots to rot or the new seedlings to grow.

4) Lighting. Dark or scattered light conditions favor the growth of healed tissues. At the beginning of cuttings, it is best to place them in a fully shaded or semi-shaded place, and avoid strong light.

Moonflower should be cut in the form of new shoots, young branches, and hard branches with a high survival rate.

1. Cuttings of new sprouts

The cutting time of the new shoots in the moon season is generally selected in the spring, when the new shoots have just grown and have a relatively strong vitality, and it is easier to take root and sprout after cuttings. Pick a new sprout that grows thick and has a full bud head, break it off, rinse it, and set it aside for later use. If the sprouts are thin and weak, the survival rate after cuttings will be relatively low, and even if they survive, it will affect the subsequent growth.

Plain soil should be used for monthly cuttings, such as sand, vermiculite, perlite, etc. Insert a hole in the surface of the soil with a stick, then insert the sprouts into the hole to a depth of about one-third and compact the surrounding soil to ensure that the plant does not lodge.

After cuttings, they should be watered once and covered with plastic film to create a moist environment. Ventilation should be turned on every morning and evening, and after 15 days, it can take root, and in 20 days, the film can be removed and ready for transplantation.

2. Shoot cuttings

There are several types of monthly shoots and cuttings in two periods, one is from April to May in spring, and the other is from September to October in autumn. The climate is warmer during these two periods, and the survival rate is higher. The high temperature and humidity of summer can easily cause wounds to rot, so that they cannot take root and sprout.

Shoot cuttings should be selected from the strong branches of the current year, and there should be no pests and diseases. Generally, after the flowering period, the flowers and old leaves on it are cut off to allow it to accumulate certain nutrients. When the branch is thick, it can be cut off.

The length of the cut is 10 cm, leaving two compound leaves and leaflets, and removing all others.

Prepare potting soil with humus and coarse sand, dip the lower part of the cut branches with rooting powder, and insert it into the potting soil to a depth of about two-thirds to ensure that 2-3 buds are exposed. After cuttings, you need to water enough and cover the potting soil. If the new shoots grow and the old leaves do not fall, it means that the cuttings have been successful.

3. Hard branch cuttings

The cutting time of hard branches is selected at the turn of winter and spring, when the temperature is still relatively cold, although it will not take root immediately after cuttings, but there is a long preparation time. Cut a stout hard branch, remove the lower leaves, and keep 2-3 pieces, so as not to insert the leaves into the soil to rot, breed bacteria, and affect the growth of the roots.

Insert the shoots into the sand, water them thoroughly, then put them on a shelf, cover them with a film, and place them in a sunny place to receive light. When the temperature gradually warms up, the film can be removed, and the leaves turn green, and it is ready to be transplanted.

1. Branch treatment: prune the leaves and base of cuttings to reduce nutrient consumption. 2. Soil preparation:

Prepare the soil with a mixture of humus, vermiculite, and river sand. 3. Cuttings and planting: After successful cuttings, the monthly flower cuttings are placed in a cool, ventilated and warm place to maintain and take root.

4. Water and fertilizer management: apply thin decomposed liquid fertilizer during the growth period.

1. Branch treatment

When taking flower cuttings, select one to two year-old semi-lignified branches, cut a section of branches with bud points and no disease, pay attention to pruning the leaves and base of the branches, in addition, in order to prevent germs from infecting the wound, the branches need to be soaked in chlorothalonil solution for two to three minutes.

2. Soil preparation:

If you want the survival rate of the moon flower to be high, you need to prepare loose and fertile, well-drained soil for the plant, and you can mix the soil with humus, vermiculite and river sand, so that the soil has strong water absorption and drainage, avoid water accumulation, and affect the success rate of cuttings.

3. Cuttings for planting

Insert the treated branches into a moist substrate, gently compact the soil by hand to fix the cuttings and prevent lodging, and then water them once to keep the soil moist, and put them in a cool, ventilated and warm place to maintain the roots.

4. Water and fertilizer management

After the peanut root in the current month, it is necessary to supplement water and fertilizer in time to meet the needs of water and nutrients for plant growth and development.

For cuttings, choose April and May in spring or September and October in autumn; Treat the branches, leave 2 3 bud points, the length is 20 25cm, cut a 45° oblique incision at the bottom end, and soak and disinfect with Duoling fungus; Configure the soil, use 1:1:1 perlite, garden soil, humus mixed configuration of culture soil; Cuttings are carried out, the roots of the branches are smeared with rooting solution and inserted into the soil at an inclination of 30° to a depth of two-thirds.

The cuttings of the moon flowers are generally available from spring to autumn, and it is recommended to choose in April and May or September and October, when the climate is warm and the soil is moist, you can choose young branches to carry out, which is conducive to rooting and restoring growth, and the survival rate is high. Cuttings can also be made in late winter and early spring, but hard shoots with a high degree of lignification are selected.

Cuttings are generally carried out in a comfortable climate, using healthy, full bud shoots. Remove the excess leaves with the selected branches with clean scissors that have been sterilized, leave only 2 3 bud points, keep only 20 25cm in the length of the branches, cut a 45° oblique incision at the bottom end, soak them in the multi-spirit fungus for about 20 minutes for disinfection, rinse them with water after taking them out, and put them in a ventilated place for later use.

Cuttings are suitable for loose and breathable, fertile sandpaper soil, perlite, garden soil, humus can be mixed according to 1:1:1, you can add some well-rotted organic fertilizer as base fertilizer, increase soil fertility, ensure adequate nutrition, and improve the survival rate.

After the configuration is completed, disinfect and place in a cool and ventilated location.

When cuttings, apply rooting solution to the bottom incision to promote rooting and survive, and insert it into the soil at an angle of 30° to a depth of two-thirds. Water a small amount of water, moisten the soil and then compact, wrap it with plastic film, leave a bud point, put it in a warm and ventilated position, and maintain it in a position with scattered light, and wait until the new leaves grow that is, the cuttings are successful.

Cuttings time, the cuttings can be carried out in May every spring, during which the cells inside the branches are more active and can grow as soon as possible after transplanting; Prepared soil, which can be mixed with humus, garden soil and river sand soil to make a substrate for cultivation; To prune cuttings, you need to choose strong branches, and the length is controlled at about 10 cm; In the cuttings method, the shoots can be inserted directly into the soil, and the depth is controlled at a third of the rhizome.

In order to improve the survival rate after cuttings, first choose the appropriate cutting time, it is generally recommended to carry out around May in spring every year, during which the moon season is in the vigorous growth period, the internal cell activity of the branches is large, and the precipitation is moderate, and the rooting can be carried out as soon as possible after cuttings.

Cuttings need to choose soft, breathable, nutrient-rich soil as the cultivation medium, which can restore the growth as soon as possible, and the survival rate can also be greatly improved. When mixing soil, humus, garden soil and river sand soil can be mixed into a substrate for cultivation, and an appropriate amount of carbendazim powder can be mixed to sterilize and disinfect the soil.

When cutting in the moon season, it is also necessary to pay attention to the selection of branches, need to choose strong branches, the length is controlled at about 10 cm, and need to have full bud points, after pruning, it is necessary to remove the excess leaves at the lower end, and then put them into potassium permanganate solution for sterilization and disinfection.

After the treatment of the branches is completed, an appropriate amount of rooting powder needs to be dipped into the bottom of the branches, and inserted directly into the soil, and the depth of the soil can be controlled at one-third of the rhizome. After the cuttings are completed, they need to be watered thoroughly in the soil and transferred to a ventilated and warm environment for maintenance, and the shoots can take root and germinate in about 15 days.

.Hard branch cuttings.

Also known as dormant cuttings. In the open field, one-year-old shoots are used for cuttings after the leaves fall in autumn and before budding in spring. Cuttings are usually pruned in winter, with full xylem and full buds.

The cuttings are 10 12 cm long and have 3 4 buds. In the high dryness, shelter from the wind and the sun to make a high furrow for the bed, after the land is leveled, first cover the mulch, and then cuttings, in order to improve the soil temperature, promote the roots. Cuttings are inserted into the soil 1 2 2 3, keeping 1 bud exposed on the soil surface, the insertion distance is 8 10 cm, about 100 140 plants per square meter.

After insertion, it will take root in late February in the Yangtze River basin and pull out new shoots in March. Can be transplanted in 5-6 months. If the hard branch cuttings are carried out in October, they can take root before winter and sprout in spring, and the seedling quality is better.

Two. Green branch cuttings.

Also known as soft branch cuttings. It is in the growth period of the moon season, and the new cuttings of the moon season are used. Generally carried out in the summer and autumn of 6 October.

When the top flowers of the new shoots are damaged, the branches below the flowers are cut off and the branches are full of spoes as cuttings. The cuttings are 10 cm long, with three buds, the upper bud is cut cm from the bud tip, the lower bud is cm from the bud base, and the leaves are removed by inserting the node of the cutting. The aboveground part should be kept with 1 2 buds, with 1 2 leaves, and some leaflets should be cut off appropriately according to the situation.

The substrate of the bed is made of loose and breathable materials such as river sand or vermiculite, perlite, chaff and ash. The incubation distance between cuttings is 4 5 cm, and 400 600 cuttings per square meter. Large-scale production can be set up with an automatic spraying device to carry out full light seedlings, and the smaller scale can use the sprinkler head of the sprayer to connect to the tap water pipe, and manually control the spraying time.

After cutting, about 10 to 15 days after rooting, about 20 days can be used for seedlings for later use.

If you want to turn 1 pot into multiple pots, Xiaoyou starts from the selection and cutting of cuttings, cutting medium and maintenance management after cuttings, and teaches you how to cut cuttings.

Use plant ash to make cuttings to keep it moist, have good air permeability, and work indiscriminately.

Cut the stem diagonally, insert it in moist soil, and water it once every two days.
