Sunflower cuttings planting methods and precautions

To cut sunflowers, you need to choose healthy and disease-free branches, and then use scissors to cut the branches into small sections of about 3cm, and then you can insert small branches into moist soil, and finally move the sunflowers to a place that can irradiate enough light, and water them every three days to increase the survival rate of sunflower cuttings.

1. Cutting time.

Sunflower is an annual herbaceous plant, and the main mode of propagation is cuttings. Propagation by cuttings can be carried out between March and April in the spring, when the climate is mild and the air and soil moisture are abundant, which can increase the survival rate of sunflowers. During the high temperature in summer, the evaporation is large, and it is not recommended to cut sunflowers, which is not conducive to the survival of sunflowers.

2. Cutting method.

1) If you want to cut sunflowers, you need to cut strong branches of sunflowers that are more than 1 year old as cuttings before cuttings. After cutting, it is necessary to trim the cuttings, cut off their excess leaves, and leave 2 or 3 blades on top. After pruning, an appropriate amount of carbendazim solution can be applied to the wound of the mother plant, which is conducive to the recovery of the wound.

Soak the cuttings in rooting water for 10 to 20 minutes, remove them after soaking, and place them in a dry and ventilated place to dry. Sunflowers are more adaptable and do not have high requirements for soil, but they are not tolerant to waterlogging. Loose, breathable and fertile sandy loam soils can be selected as a substrate for cuttings after the wound of the cuttings has healed.

2) After soil disinfection, cuttings can be cut in a soft and fertile substrate, and water them appropriately. Place the cuttings in a cool, ventilated location to avoid strong light. During the curing period, it is necessary to keep the soil moist and the temperature of the environment to be controlled.

In about 20-30 days, the cuttings of the sunflower can grow roots.

1. In order to promote the growth and shape of sunflowers, usually after entering the summer high temperature season, we need to prune the potted plants, and the pruned branches can be used for cuttings to propagate young plants.

2. To make the potted sunflower more beautiful, we generally need to let it grow in bunches, so we should cut more branches as cuttings when cuttings. These branches are usually cut into short segments.

3. The vitality of sunflowers is relatively tenacious, so cuttings are also relatively easy to survive. However, in order to make the growth of cuttings better, it is recommended that you choose loose and breathable sandy culture soil as a cutting. After preparing the culture soil, we first need to water it once.

4. After watering, we can insert the cuttings into the moist culture soil. After these cuttings, move the entire pot to a cool and ventilated place for a few days. If it is normal, it is generally possible to find that the cuttings have taken root after a few days of slow seedlings.

5. After the cuttings are rooted, we need to provide them with sufficient light conditions at this time, so that they can receive more light to promote growth. During the period, pay attention to observe the dry and wet conditions of the potting soil, when the potting soil becomes dry, you can water it once permeable, as long as the maintenance and management are appropriate, the phenomenon of bursting pots will soon appear.

1. How to cut sunflowers.

1. Prepare cuttings: Sunflower is also called half lotus, if you want to take cuttings, choose a pot of robust plants, prepare a pair of clean scissors, cut 10-15cm long branches from the mother plant, and then use scissors to cut into 3-5cm small sections.

2. Prepare the soil: Sunflower really does not pick the soil, even if the garden soil dug outside can be inserted, you can match the soil according to the ratio of garden soil: cinder: chicken manure = 5:4:1.

3. Start cuttings: Then water the soil thoroughly, and insert the pruned sunflower cuttings directly into the moist soil. If you want to improve the survival rate of cuttings of sunflowers, you can place the cuttings in a cool and ventilated place for half an hour.

4. Maintenance after cuttings: After the cuttings are completed, put them in a place of astigmatism and ventilation, and then observe the whitening and watering of the soil surface, and after the plants have an obvious growth trend, move to the sun under the conditions of full sunlight.

2. Can sunflowers be cut in winter?

Whether the sunflower can be cut in winter depends on the temperature and light of the maintenance talker, if the sunflower of the root is placed in the heating room, and the light conditions at home are very good, then you can take cuttings. If the indoor temperature is low and the light is poor, wait for the next spring to take cuttings, otherwise it will be difficult for the sunflower to take root and it will be easy to die.
