Propagation method of Diantang Flower how to prune branches and leaves

Ditang flower is a kind of woody plant flower native to China, with a wide range of distribution, and has been one of the favorite objects of literati since ancient times. Ditang flower is a very beautiful flower, in late spring and early summer, golden flowers are covered with branches, particularly conspicuous. So how do such beautiful flowers reproduce?

The method of propagation of the flower of Diantang

1. Ramet propagation

Ramet propagation is often used for double-petal varieties, which are carried out after falling leaves in autumn and before sprouting in spring. The mother plant is not dug out, and the mother plant is directly dug in the soil with a knife or shovel, and the new plant is separated from the mother plant for transplanting. It is better for each split tuber to have 1-2 branches, so it is easy to survive. The mother plant left in the soil can wait until the next year to continue to split.

2. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation generally cut shoots in the rainy season for cutting, with the thick branches of the year, leaving half of the leaf cuttings 12-450px long, cut in brown soil, ripe soil or sandy soil, if planted in the open field to shade to prevent drying. It is carried out in early spring, with hardwood cuttings, ungerminated annual branches.

3. Sowing and reproduction

The sowing and propagation of Potentilla frutescens is suitable for single-petal varieties, and it takes about 20 days to germinate after sowing. Sowing propagation is generally used in the mass reproduction of single-petal original seeds. After harvest, the seeds need to be stored in sandy soil for 1-2 months at a low temperature of 5 ℃, and then sown in the spring of the following year. After sowing the seeds evenly in the soil, cover the fine soil and the haystack, and shade in a shed after emergence to prevent the sun from being exposed to the sun.

How to prune the branches and leaves of Tangtang flowers

1. Time: in January-February, cut off the withered branches, over-dense branches, hard and white old branches and other branches from the base, renew the plant every 5-10 years, leave 10-15 cm above the surface after flowering, and cut off the rest.

2. Method: after blooming, leave the branches about 50 cm high and cut off the upper part of the branches, which can promote the sprouting of new buds in the underground. The following spring, around February to March, choose continuous sunny days to prune the flowers for several days, which can make the branches bloom more vigorously and increase the number of flowers. If you want the flower to have more branches, you can keep only 7cm and cut off the rest.

3. Points for attention:

In the process of pruning, if it is found that the branches die gradually from top to bottom, the dead branches should be cut off immediately, otherwise the dry state will spread to the roots, which will lead to the death of the whole plant.

After falling leaves, there is still the possibility of dead branches, which should be observed and dealt with in a timely manner. Because most of the blossoms are on the tips of new branches, they can only be thinned and should not be cut short when pruning. If they are cut short, the flower buds will be cut off, which will directly affect the blooming of the next spring.

Cut off the overdense old branches, weak branches and disease and insect branches after winter or before germination in early spring, which can not only keep the plant shape uniform and beautiful, but also bloom luxuriantly.

How to raise the flowers of Diantang

1. Soil

The requirements of Ditang flower on the soil are not strict, and the growth situation is the best in the fertile and loose sandy soil. It is necessary to keep the soil with good drainage, soft and non-alkaline.

2. Moisture

Ditang flowers generally do not need more watering, but the summer temperature is too high, water evaporation is too fast, so it is necessary to increase the amount of water to prevent the basin soil from being too dry.

3. Temperature

Ditang flowers like a warm and humid environment, so it is necessary to breed them indoors in winter.

4. Fertilization

Potted Ditang flowers need to be watered with cake fertilizer in the afternoon, but not too much. During the growing period, liquid fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times according to the plant growth situation.

Matters needing attention in culturing the flowers of Ditang

1. Pruning dead branches in time

When it is found that there are retreating branches (the branches gradually die from top to bottom), the dead branches need to be cut off immediately, otherwise once it spreads to the roots, it will lead to the death of the whole plant. After falling leaves, withered branches will appear, and more pruning should be done at this time.

2. Pruning after flowering

Leave 50 cm high after blooming, and then cut off the upper branches to promote the underground shoots to sprout. The following spring chooses sunny days for several consecutive days of pruning, which can make the branches bloom vigorously. If you want more branches, leave only about 7 cm, and then cut off the rest.

3. Change the basin regularly

In cold areas, such as north of the Yangtze River basin, potted plants need to change pots every 3 years or so, and combine root pruning and ramet to renew old and weak branches.

The color of the flower is a bright golden yellow, growing on the top of the branch against the green, just like the stars in the sky. In fact, the flower not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a strong medicinal value and has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough.
