Methods of clove propagation how to fertilize cloves

In mid-spring, when a hundred flowers bloom, many inconspicuous flowers are submerged in the sea of flowers, and there is one that is particularly eye-catching, that is, the familiar lilac. Lilac is one of the most common flowers and plants in China. Its flowers are elegant and fragrant. Many people like lilacs, but they don't start because they don't know what breeding methods are available.

Propagation method of clove

1. Sowing method

The sowing of cloves usually takes place in spring.

Soak the seeds in water for 1-2 days before sowing, remove them and put them in the sand to accelerate germination. Sow the seeds after keeping the soil moist for a week, cover with about 1 cm of soil, and the seedlings will germinate after a month. After emergence, the thin seedlings should be cut off in time, weeding, watering, fertilization, Yang Yang can not be less. It can be planted in the pot the following spring.

2. Cutting method

Select 1-2-year-old strong branches as cuttings, directly inserted into the soil, let it slowly take root to form new plants.

Cuttings are usually carried out one month after the flower encounter, and the temperature is controlled at about 25 ℃. It can take root in 30-40 days, and when the young roots change from white to yellowish brown, they are transplanted.

3. Grafting method

Buds are commonly used in lilac grafting, cuttings choose full leaf buds on current branches, and rootstocks choose 1-2-year-old clove trees.

Cut off the leaves on the water, leaving only the petiole, cross-cutting 1 cm above the bud, and then 1 cm below the bud; cross-cutting 5 cm from the ground on the rootstock, and cutting 3 cm downward in the middle of the cut to form a T-shaped shape; insert the cuttings into the T-shaped area, let the two closely combine, and bind with plastic bags.

2 to 3 weeks after budding, if the petiole on the scion falls off naturally, the bud has survived, and the plastic strip can be removed at this time.

4. Ramet method

The ramets of cloves are actually divided buds. After falling leaves in early spring or autumn, the small buds from the plant roots are dug out and planted in the pot. if false planting is needed in autumn, they will be planted in the next spring.

5. Striping method

Lilac striping propagation, February is the best, choose a strong growth of the long branch, if the branch is too thick, you can gently cut in the lower pressure, and then press into the soil. After that, keep the soil moist and take root in 2-3 months. In autumn, the rooting part can be separated from the mother plant and planted separately.

How to fertilize cloves

First, choose fertilizer

Pay attention to the combination of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, if you raise cloves for the first time at home, you can choose special fertilizer for flowering plants, the proportion of various elements is reasonable, not only can ensure the permeability of the soil, and fertilizer effect is long, can improve the soil.

II. Fertilization methods

1. Cloves should be fertilized at the right time in the growth process, cloves do not like big fertilizer, too much fertilization will cause branches and leaves to grow, flower buds are difficult to form because of lack of nutrients, resulting in reduced flowering, so fertilization is very important.

2. It is necessary to replenish nutrients in time after flowering, promote plant recovery, and properly supplement nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, usually about 75g of phosphorus and potassium per plant and 25g of nitrogen. Pay attention to not excessive nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it will affect flowering in the second year. In addition, generally every year or every other year, it is necessary to apply rotten compost before winter to replenish the nutrients in the soil and let the cloves survive the winter safely.

Third, fertilization skills

1. Generally, the fertilizers on the market are granular, so you can choose to dig a hole beside the plant and bury it shallowly to avoid the rhizome. This method can prolong the period of fertilization and make the fertilizer effect play a role slowly.

2. Or the granular fertilizer is diluted with water and irrigated. In this way, the fertilizer is in direct contact with the plant, which can quickly increase the fertility of the soil, but it is easy to burn roots if the concentration is not controlled properly.

How to maintain lilacs

1. Watering

The adaptability of lilac is very strong, the maintenance method is relatively extensive, usually as long as pay attention to timely weeding, basin soil dry on watering, not stagnant water, you can grow normally. As for the frequency of watering, there is no strict requirement, as soon as it is dry.

2. Temperature

Lilacs like warm and humid environment, native to the equatorial rainforest climate, have a certain degree of cold resistance. The best growth temperature is 15-20 ℃. When the temperature is lower than 3 ℃, the plant will die of frostbite.

3. Turn the basin

The clove has to change the pot every 2-3 years, remove the plant, trim the roots, cut off the old roots, replace them with new culture soil, and promote the growth of new roots.

4. Pruning

Before the lilac sprouts in the middle of March every year, it should be pruned, cutting off the branches that are too dense, thin, disease and insect pests, and cut off the branches that are growing vigorously. After falling leaves, you can also carry out a pruning to keep the crown round and beautiful, which is conducive to growth and flowering in the coming year.

What if the lilac leaves wither?

1. Lighting

To give cloves enough light, to ensure the warmth of the growth environment, not low temperature, in the indoor should be often ventilated, so that leaves can breathe fresh air, photosynthesis, conducive to growth.

2. Watering

Pay attention to whether the soil where cloves grow is dry. If there is drought, spray water on the leaves first. When the leaves are dry, they can be watered in the pot soil. Pay attention to the time and frequency of watering, because the summer weather is hot, so cloves also need a lot of moisture, to ensure the moisture of the soil, do not wait until the soil is dry before watering, usually twice a day.

The practical information about lilacs is over now. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. There are many ways to reproduce cloves, and you can choose the right one according to your own actual situation. Although the lilac belongs to extensive management, but the general daily maintenance can not be less.
