Fig cuttage method and time fig propagation method

Figs are a kind of seasonal fruit growing in the south. Because figs taste good and have high nutritional value, figs are also loved by the majority of friends. Many people also want to grow some figs at home, so next, the editor will introduce the method and time of the fig plug-in. Let's also introduce the breeding methods of figs.

Method and time of fig cuttage

1. Cutting method

Fig cuttings can be carried out in a mud basin (tile basin) above 20cm in diameter. This kind of pot has the advantages of rough texture, cheap price, easy to use, good water permeability and air permeability. The cutting substrate can choose clean river sand (or building sand) and humus soil with high content of organic matter, both of which are exposed to the sun before use, and try to remove larger stones from the sandy soil to make the substrate more uniform. Then mix the two of the same volume and put them in a basin and set aside.

2. Cutting time

Fig cuttings can be cut from early March to early May before the branches spread their leaves.

Propagation methods of figs

1. Cutting

Fig cuttings are generally carried out in spring. After the strong branches and buds are cut off with a knife and soaked in water for three days, they can also be directly soaked in rooting water for 12 hours to increase the survival rate. Then insert the cutting shoots directly into the soil where you want to transplant. Keep the soil moist and control the amount of water. It will slowly survive in a month.

2. Ramet

The fig ramet is in February and the root of the fig needs to be exposed. Some roots and seedlings will sprout above the roots, and cut off the roots and seedlings together with the branches of the roots. After that, just plant the root directly in the newly transplanted soil, and after watering the soil, you can wait for it to survive gradually.

Methods of safe overwintering of figs

1. Fruit tree environment

Fig is a kind of southern seasonal fruit, if it grows in the cold environment of the north, it will affect its growth and fruit. If you plant figs in the north, you must pay attention to choosing a suitable growth environment where it is best to be in the leeward and sunny place. don't let figs be howled by the cold winter wind, and make sure figs bask in the sun.

2. Select varieties

There are also many varieties of figs, most of which belong to cold-resistant figs, among which Zhongnong Hanyou-A1213 is the most cold-resistant. If you choose this variety to plant, it will be less troublesome in winter, and you have to plant it before and after budding, that is, before February, so that the fruit trees will be more hardy.

3. Pick the heart and trim

In fact, pruning and coring is also one of the ways for figs to survive the winter safely. If fig trees planted in that year need to be coring in August of that year, this will control the growth of fruit trees and make them more hardy. As for pruning, it is generally chosen in late March of the second year of planting, which will also maximize the safety of fig trees through the winter.

4. Control fertilizer and water in autumn

If you want figs to grow in winter, you need to control the amount of water and the frequency of fertilization in autumn. Figs are best fertilized in spring. Reducing topdressing in autumn will make the branches become woody gradually, and the woody branches will keep it safe through the long winter.

5. Apply white binding grass

After achieving the above four kinds, it is necessary to apply white banding grass to make figs more cold-proof. Whitening is applied evenly with whitening agent on the main branches of fig trees and on the larger and thicker side branches. Straws are tied to the branches with straw ropes, corn stalks and other straw ropes as protection, and can not be tied too dense and too tight, so as not to affect plant growth.

Field management of figs

After the plant survived, to loosen the soil and weed, in order to promote its branches, so timely fertilization after pruning, figs are more fertilizer-tolerant fruit trees, so fertilization should be re-applied, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can quickly promote its branch and leaf growth. Fig trees are cold-tolerant but not hard-working fruit trees, which do not need to be watered except during the fruit expansion period. If its root system is in an environment of heavy stagnant water for a long time, it will cause root rot and lead to plant falling flowers, fruit, leaves, and even death, so it is necessary to take good drainage measures, especially in rainy days.

In the above, the editor also introduced some planting methods of figs. Of all the fruits, the method of growing figs is really annoying. But after all, the fruits grown at home are greener and healthier than those grown on the market.
