The method of Cuttage Propagation of Hevea brasiliensis

When it comes to rubber trees, I believe everyone is very familiar with it. It is a common foliage plant in our life. Its leaves are green and shiny, evergreen all the year round, and it has the effect of purifying the air. Many people like to raise a rubber tree at home as a decorative tree. So do you know how rubber trees propagate cuttings? Let's get to know it with the editor.

Cutting Propagation method of Rubber Tree

1. Cut the sturdy branches of the rubber tree into 12cm and 15cm, then burn the cut place on the alcohol lamp (or burn it in boiling water). The rubber tree will no longer produce white branches and leaves.

2. Cut off the excess leaves on the branches and leave 2-3 leaves to avoid wasting excess nutrients.

3. Insert the weaving field into the water, put it in a place where there is plenty of sunshine, spray water on the leaves 2 or 3 times a day, and change the water every 2-4 days. White roots can be produced in 8 days and 10 days. (hydroponic rooting can improve the survival rate of cuttings)

4. When the water bacon grows to 3 cm to 5 cm, insert the branch into the prepared basin soil, the depth is 7 cm to 9 cm, keep the branch upright. Cover the cuttings with a plastic cover to moisturize. Spray water once every morning and evening.

5. The fixed heel can grow in about half a month, wipe off the excess buds, pour some fat water, and gradually transfer from the shade to the full light. Slowly, new leaves will grow!

How to insert branches in a rubber tree

1. First of all, the sturdy branches should be taken from the rubber tree, and the 10cm should be cut. The cut branches need to be sterilized and are usually soaked in carbendazim solution at the wound. When the white juice no longer flows from the wound, the cuttings can be carried out.

2. Then, when cutting, the root is usually induced by hydroponic culture. Find a cleaner bottle and add the right amount of water to it. Then cut the branches of the treated rubber tree into the water.

3. After water insertion, the rubber tree should be placed in a place where it can be exposed to bright light and wait for about 2 weeks to take root, and then transplant it.

How to water a rubber tree

1. Summer watering

Indoor: need to see dry topsoil before watering, water spraying can be carried out properly, do not need to be too frequent, after all, the rubber tree is very adaptable.

Outdoor: can keep the basin soil wet, but also to prevent stagnant water logging. Water spraying can be more frequent, it is best to sprinkle water on the ground to increase air humidity, the effect is better.

2. Winter watering

Rubber trees enter the room for maintenance in winter, watering should be dry and wet alternately, water is watered once a month, and the leaves are often sprayed or wiped with wet rags. If you have a heater at home, you can put a metal container on the heater, which is filled with water, which can significantly increase the indoor air humidity, which is equivalent to a high-power humidifier, and is also beneficial to the human body.

How to prune a rubber tree

1. The pruning season of rubber trees

When a rubber tree is pruned, it is usually re-pruned in winter and the branches are greatly trimmed, that is, the erect strong branches are cut off from the base. In summer, the growth of lateral branches is generally controlled, the strong and the weak are controlled, and the tree potential is adjusted. Follow the principles of strong lateral branches, heavy cutting of strong branches and light cutting of thin and weak branches to accelerate the growth of plants. When pruning in summer, you should pay attention to not pruning on rainy days, which can easily infect the wound.

2. Pruning height of rubber trees

When pruning rubber trees, pay attention to smooth cuts, stubble height early 1--2cm, not too high or too low.

When pruning, we should pay attention to protruding the trunk and main branches, thinning too dense branches, and doing a good job of sprouting. In this way, unnecessary lateral buds can be reduced, the plant type is better, and nutrients are more concentrated.

3. Pruning and maintenance of rubber trees

In the rubber tree after pruning to pay attention to protect the plant, the first is the cut, there will be a lot of juice to avoid the loss of too much juice, leading to infection. It is usually good to apply some plant ash to the wound.

Cut branches can be used for cutting propagation, relatively simple, generally maintain the temperature and appropriate humidity, in the semi-overcast environment, about half a month can take root.

The above is a summary of some rubber tree planting skills for you. I hope it can be helpful to you. In fact, the management of rubber tree is very simple, but you also need to master the right skills, otherwise it is easy to have all kinds of problems, seriously affecting its beauty!
