The gardenia branches of the cuttings are slender, and how to take gardenia cuttings

Gardenia, as a kind of potted plant that belongs to the best in both meaning and appearance, has embellished the indoor environment of many flower growers, making the interior beautiful and full of natural atmosphere. Gardenia is a plant that many people love very much, but it is not a simple thing to raise this plant, especially about the cuttings and rooting of gardenias.

When cutting gardenias, many novices often fail, and the survival rate of cuttings is very low. In fact, this is because in the process of cuttings, some details are not done, or the method of cuttings is not quite right. So the content of today's article is to talk to you about two methods with super high survival rate of gardenia cuttings, if you are also interested in gardenias, you can continue to learn about two cuttings!

Cuttings method 1: hard branch cuttings.

This cuttings method, the use of gardenia hard branches, we can choose the growth is more vigorous, full of vitality of a pot of gardenia, and then break off one of its branches, the length of about ten centimeters can be, the texture must be hard. Preferably on the branches, with a few leaves remaining. Then we can soak the shoot in a vitamin B12 solution for about two hours.

Then we prepare a pot of coarse sand or a pot of vermiculite, which is used as a "cuttings bed" for branch cuttings, and then we can take out the gardenia branches after soaking the solution and insert them into it, and then we must cover the entire cuttings bed with plastic film, this step is to ensure that the temperature and moderation are in it, and then we can wait quietly for the branches to take root. This time does not take too long, usually about ten.

Cuttings method 2: soft branch cuttings.

Unlike the previous cutting method, in this cutting method, we use soft shoots for cuttings. We need to cut a plump and soft branch on a vigorous gardenia plant. Then we need to prepare a pot of washed clean sand without mud, and then insert this soft branch directly into it, and then place it in a cool environment, not exposed to the sun, keep it for about a week or two, and we can find that the branches grow white roots in the sand.

Well, then the above is a detailed explanation of the two methods of gardenia cuttings, for many novices to raise flowers, cuttings gardenia is not an easy thing to do, but as long as you follow the above methods to do, be careful, pay attention to every detail, I believe you will harvest a pot of potted gardenia that takes root and sprouts, and I believe that your gardenia cuttings will be successful.

At any time, as long as the gardenia that has just been cut and rooted, it is not suitable to fertilize him, and if you go to fertilize him immediately, it is particularly prone to fertilizer damage. Because the root system of the newly rooted gardenia is very weak, and the absorption capacity is very poor, if you give him fertilizer now, the fertility in the soil will be excessive, and the root system will be burned directly, and it is easy to burn the seedlings. Just cuttings and rooting gardenia pots, as long as he waters on the line, first raise half a month to a month, see the growth state is good, the growth trend is better, in the consideration of fertilizing him, and fertilization can not apply thick fertilizer, you can first go to him with a little slow-release fertilizer, sprinkled directly on the surface of the pot soil, so that the thin fertility can also be released to promote the growth of gardenias.

Moreover, the temperature is relatively low now, its growth activity is relatively low, and it is especially easy to burn seedlings when applying thick fertilizer. It is best to sprinkle some granules of slow-release fertilizer on the surface of the potting soil. If the growth is particularly good, you can consider giving him a little compound fertilizer with a relatively high phosphorus and potassium content, such as Huaduoduo No. 2.

Hua Duoduo No. 2 is not to promote its flowering, and it is impossible for gardenias that have just been cut and rooted to bloom, so he is given a compound fertilizer with high phosphorus and potassium content, the purpose is to enhance his resistance and help him survive the winter. Weak branches and thin and scarce gardenias, the resistance is very poor, easy to freeze to death in winter, if the root system is developed, the branches are strong, then its resistance will be very strong, safe wintering is no problem, as long as the temperature is not lower than 0 degrees.

For gardenia seedlings that grow very well, fertilize them and generally use them 2 or 3 times a month. But now at the end of October, the temperature is relatively low, his absorption capacity is also relatively poor, and the activity is low, so if you fertilize, you can use it for him 1 or 2 times a month. It is possible to fertilize him by irrigating the roots or spraying the liquid, dilute it with water more than 1000 times, and the concentration is as low as possible, so that you are not afraid of burning seedlings.

In addition to fertilization, it is also necessary to let the gardenias get more sunlight because of the low temperature in winter. Therefore, let the gardenia bask in the sun more, not only can increase the temperature, but also conducive to its photosynthesis, in the winter can give the gardenia full sunshine, the more sunlight it grows better, the more vigorous the growth. And if the light is sufficient, it is conducive to the growth of the branches, so that the branches grow more stout, if the light is insufficient, the gardenia will appear to grow, the branches grow relatively slender, the resistance is very poor, and it is particularly easy to be frostbitten and freeze to death in winter.

The slender branches of the gardenia from cuttings indicate that the branches are growing too fast and not strong enough, and need to be pruned to near the crown width of the plant.

When cutting gardenias, it is advisable to use strong, 1-2-year-old, smooth surface, disease-free and insect-free branches. Because such branches have a high growth capacity, it is easier to take root and survive after cuttings. Moreover, such branches have no pests and diseases, and will not have the problem of poor growth due to germs or pests after rooting.

The gardenia branches of cuttings are also strong and powerful.

Gardenia cuttings methodAs follows:

Gardenia cuttings should be cut from the robust mother plant, and the branches should be strong and free of pests and diseases. Each cuttings don't need to be too long, about 15 cm in length. After cutting, remove the lower leaves, only keep the two or three leaves of the top part, and cut the bottom into a bevel, and put it in a cool, well-ventilated place to dry the wound after treatment.

Gardenia cuttings can be used by soil cuttings or hydroponic rooting. If it is a soil cutting, it is necessary to prepare a soft, breathable, and water-permeable soil, which is conducive to rooting. If it's hydroponics, prepare a slightly narrower glass container and fill it with water for later use.

Note that if you use tap water, you need to dry it in advance before it can be used.

Gardenia cuttings precautions

The first taboo: the timing of cuttings is wrong, and it is easy to rot at high temperature and humidity.

If you want to cut gardenias, you must adjust the time, if you take cuttings on a rainy day, humid weather, it is easy to breed bacteria at the incision, and when watering, the speed of water evaporation will also be slow, the soil has been waterlogged for a long time, and the general root system will rot, not to mention the fragile cuttings seedlings, so when cuttings, you must choose the right time.

The second taboo: the cuttings are selected randomly, and only one branch is selected at a time.

The second is the cuttings of the branches, you must choose healthy, robust branches, if the branches are too tender or too old, nutrients will be insufficient, and the growth state is not good, lack of vitality, resistance is also relatively poor, it is difficult to survive, and, when cuttings, try to choose a few, no matter how experienced the flower friends, it is difficult to ensure that each cuttings are successful, so you can choose a few more, after success, only retain the good part.

The third taboo: the soil is moist and not breathable, and the utensils are not sterilized.

If you want to improve the success rate of cuttings, the choice of substrate is very important, do not use the outside of the garden soil, it has less nutrients inside, and there may be some eggs or bacteria that cannot be seen by the naked eye, if you use it as a substrate, it will cause the cuttings to be infected with black rot due to problems such as impermeability or bacterial infection, so it is best to re-match the soil to ensure that it is fertile and breathable.

Gardenia cuttings propagation is divided into two methods: hard branch cuttings and young branch cuttings, which are generally carried out in spring, autumn or plum rainy season. As follows:

Hard branch cuttings, in autumn after the plant dormancy using hard branch cuttings propagation, select 10-12 cm long lignified branches as cuttings, leave two leaves at the top, and soak the base of the cuttings with vitamin B12 solution for 2 hours or treat the base of the cuttings with indole butyric acid solution for 24 hours, and then insert them into coarse sand or vermiculite, so that it is easy to survive.

Cuttings of young branches, cut the vigorous growth, stout, axillary buds full and strong, internodes, large leaves, healthy and disease-free semi-lignified shoots from the mother tree, cut into cuttings about 10 cm long, retain 4-5 leaves in the upper part, and cut off the lower leaves and axillary buds.

The cutting should be smooth and inclined at 45 degrees, and pruning should be done in the morning or after 3 p.m.

Gardenia cuttings precautions

Usually watering to see that the topsoil has a whitish feeling to water thoroughly, there is a sense of dampness dripping water is not watered, 4-5 months to bury a small amount of compound fertilizer and minerals to the side of the pot, usually move out of the morning sun. Place it indoors in a sunny and ventilated place.

Generally, cuttings and strip pressing methods are used for propagation, and spring cuttings are carried out in mid to late February; Autumn planting is carried out from late September to late October, and there is a slight difference between the north and the south, but the survival rate is highest between summer and autumn.

The cuttings are selected from healthy 2 to 3-year-old branches, cut 10 12 cm, cut off the lower leaves, the top two leaves can be retained and cut off half of each, first dip in vitamin B12 injection, and then insert diagonally in the cuttings, leaving only one section on it, pay attention to shade and maintain a certain humidity.

The fast method of cutting gardenia peanut roots should start from the aspects of selecting cuttings, soaking and disinfection, preparing substrate, inserting soil, and post-maintenance.

1. Select cuttings.

Before starting cuttings, it is necessary to prepare gardenia cuttings, usually about 15 cm of healthy, pest-free branches from a healthy and strong mother plant, cut the bottom into a bevel, cut off the lower leaves, leave only the top 2-3 leaves, and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry slightly.

2. Soak and disinfect.

The prepared cuttings need to be soaked and disinfected in rooting water. Generally, in a container containing water, pour rooting water, and mix with a certain amount of water, soak the bottom of gardenia seedlings in rooting water, and take it out for about ten minutes to prepare cuttings.

3. Prepare the matrix.

Gardenia cuttings need to choose a delicate and light substrate mixed with fine sand, coconut shell soil, etc., which is conducive to the growth of the root system.

4. Insert the soil.

Soil-cultured gardenias need to be smeared with some rooting powder at the bottom of the cuttings, and then insert the plant into the substrate, not too shallow, the plant will be prone to lodging silver potato, but do not insert too deep.

5. Later maintenance.

After the cuttings are completed, the pot with sand should be moved to a semi-shaded and ventilated place, so that it can breathe fresh air, and the surrounding temperature is best controlled at about 20, and then transplanted after the growth of the plant is relatively stable.

Gardenia not only has a nice name, but also beautiful, and the fragrance of flowering is also refreshing, but do you know how to cut gardenias? The following will explain the steps of hydroponic cuttings gardenias.

01 Cut some gardenia branches that have grown for two years and are relatively robust, about 20 cm long, and keep three or two leaves.

02 Place the pruned gardenia shoots in a glass jar or transparent container with water, and change the water every three days, preferably with dried tap water.

03 Place the planted gardenia branches in a warm place where the sunlight is scattered. After about a week, small white spots can be observed on the branches in the water, and it is necessary to wait for the further growth of the root system, and when the roots have grown to more than an inch long, they can be potted.

04 When the roots are grown and moved into the soil for cultivation, it is best to choose humus soil, which is soft and the soil moisture should be maintained. If you want to make your gardenia bloom longer, you can choose fermented rice water, and if you take care of it, you will produce beautiful gardenias.

05 Remind everyone of the matters that need to be paid attention to in the daily maintenance of gardenias.

The growth temperature of gardenias is best controlled between 20 and 28 degrees, and too high or too low temperature is not conducive to the growth of gardenias.

During the growing season, you should water regularly, and in the hot summer, you should water the branches and leaves two or three times a day to prevent the leaves from turning yellow due to lack of water, and when the gardenia grows buds, you don't need to water too much.

Gardenia is more fertiliser, the growth period, can be fertilized once a week, to ensure that there are sufficient nutrients, to the peak season of the fertilizer can be fertilized once every half month, when applying early fertilizer can be mixed with water, while supplementing nutrients and water, and can avoid the phenomenon of fertilizer burning flowers.

The seasons alternate at this age, and pests and diseases are susceptible. You can spray some drugs to prevent pests and diseases in advance, and the above small knowledge, I hope it can help you.
