How to take cuttings of longevity flowers, how to cut longevity flowers

Select a pot of vigorous longevity flowers, cut the top branches of the plant, ensure that each branch has at least 2 pairs of leaves, cut the upper incision flat, cut the lower incision 45° obliquely, and then remove the bottom 1 pair of leaves, and put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound.

Prepare disposable plastic cups or plastic bottles, find a screwdriver and heat it with a lighter, then use a hot screwdriver to make a number of holes in the bottom of the plastic cup to drain and breathe, and then fill the cup with clean river sand and use a watering can to wet the river sand.

Use chopsticks to poke a hole in the middle of the river sand in the cup, insert the dried longevity flower branches vertically into the hole, and then gently compact the river sand around the branches to ensure that the branches and the river sand are fully in contact and will not fall down.

The longevity flowers that have been cut are placed in the tray one by one, keeping the tray always watery, and then placing the longevity flowers in a place with astigmatism and ventilation, and the longevity can take root in about a week.

Longevity peanut roots are cut with river sand quickly, but river sand has no nutrients, and after the longevity peanut roots, the plants should be transplanted into peat soil, and disposable plastic cups should be used for flower pots.

After the root system of the longevity flower is full of plastic cups, take the plants out of the cup, transplant and plant them in large pots with soil mounds, water them thoroughly and release them to a ventilated place to slow down the seedlings, and maintain them normally after a week.

The cutting time of longevity flowers is generally in mid-June in late spring, and it is necessary to choose healthy, pest-free, thick and vigorous longevity flower branches; The temperature of the soil should be about 18 when cutting, and the depth of the insertion into the soil is about 3 4 cm, and the stem is fixed with mud river soil; After 15 days, it is repotted and placed in the sun for maintenance.

Longevity flower is an ornamental flower often planted in southern coastal cities, and its cuttings are generally in mid-June in late spring, and can also be at the end of September in early autumn; If the altitude is about 2000 meters above sea level, cuttings need to be carried out in advance to improve the survival rate of the branches.

In the cutting method of longevity flowers, it is necessary to choose healthy, pest-free, thick and vigorous longevity flower branches, the length of the branches is about 9 cm, and all the leaves are cut off, only the top leaf can be retained, which can effectively store nutrients; The incision is disinfected with carbendazim solution and the bottom end is sprayed wet to perform cuttings.

The temperature of the soil should be about 18 when cuttings, and the depth of cuttings is about 3 4 cm, the soil is wet with water, and the stem is fixed with mud river soil; After about 15 days, the plant will take root, and after rooting, it can be repotted and the branches can be placed in pots for maintenance.

Gently dig out the roots of the long-lived flowers, prune off the weak roots that are not growing well, and then replant them in pots; After planting, keep the soil in a dry state, not too wet, so as not to affect the growth of the root system, and properly placed in the sun, so that longevity peanuts can grow faster.

Here's how:

1. Cutting time.

It is recommended to choose cuttings for longevity flowers in spring or autumn. Because these two seasons are the growing seasons of longevity flowers, the activity of the branches is high, the climate is also suitable, and it is conducive to management after cutting, and it can also improve the survival rate. This is between March and May and September and October.

2. Cutting method.

When cuttings, the cuttings should be cut first, and they should be cut from the growing plants. Choose strong, pest-free branches and cut them from the part close to the base, the branches do not need to be too long, about 5 to 10 cm long. After cutting, place in a cool, well-ventilated place to dry the wound.

The substrate used for cuttings must be soft and breathable, and it is recommended to mix perlite, peat soil, and garden soil. The container doesn't need to be too big, the diameter is 10 cm, and the height is 3 to 5 cm. Note that self-formulated matrices need to be sterilized before they can be used.

Cut into the soil

Cuttings are carried out on sunny days, dip rooting powder at the base of the cuttings, and then insert them directly into the substrate. After insertion, compact the surrounding soil, water thoroughly, and put it in a warm, ventilated place. Or insert it into a container with water, hydroponic first, and then transplant and colonize after rooting, so that the survival rate is also very high.

If the temperature is low in the area, it is recommended to cover the soil with plastic film, which is well insulated.
