The method of cuttage propagation of duck foot how to raise duck foot wood

Duck foot wood is a very common green plant, also known as duck palm wood, which can bring fresh air to smoking families. Duck's paw-shaped leaves absorb nicotine and other harmful substances from the smoky air and convert them into harmless plant-owned substances through photosynthesis. The way of propagation is mainly through cutting.

Method of cuttage propagation of duck foot wood

1. Soil cutting: before changing pots, re-cutting in spring or before sprouting at the beginning of spring, cut 1-year-old branches with a length of 10 cm to 15 cm as cutting material. Remove the lower leaves, keep the top 3-4 leaves, and cut the lower end into a bevel.

Drill a small hole in the substrate with a small stick in advance, and insert the 2 stroke 3 of the cuttings into a basin with perlite (or fine screened river sand) as the substrate, single or 3 plants in each basin. Spray water after cutting to keep moist, put it indoors in weak light, spray water once a day on sunny days, depending on specific conditions on rainy days. The cuttings can take root one and a half months after being kept at room temperature for 15 ~ 25 ℃. 15-30 days after rooting, it was transplanted to a basin made of 5 parts of garden soil, 3 parts of humus and 2 parts of fine sand, watered thoroughly, placed in a semi-shady place, and moved to normal light 1 week later.

2, water plug: choose mineral water bottle or glass, tall glass bottle, can bottle, rinse clean, as a container. Cut the lower end of the 8 cm long cuttings into a flat mouth, leaving only 3 or 4 leaves at the top. After the container is filled with water, put the cuttings into the container and try to hang it in the water without touching the wall or bottom of the container. The number of cuttings depends on the size of the container. Cover the cuttings with a transparent plastic bag and place them in a place of scattered light and keep them at room temperature for 15-25 ℃. When the white root of 1 cm to 2 cm long grows at the bottom of the cuttage, move out of the pot, the transplanting method is the same as above. It can also be moved into a more beautiful glass container or transparent plastic container for hydroponic culture.

3. Full light fog cutting: plastic film or small glass greenhouse is used to create a small environment with high humidity, so that goose palm wood can propagate rapidly under the condition of high temperature and high humidity. First, lay a layer of brick at the bottom of the cutting slot, and cover it with a layer of sterilized plain sandy soil with a thickness of 30 centimeters. Select the twigs that grew 8 centimeters in that year as cuttings, and the treatment of cuttings is the same as before. Insert the cuttings into the plain sandy soil and spray after the cuttings. Keep room temperature 1525 ℃ and spray water once a day. It can be transplanted after rooting, and the method is the same as before.

4. high branch pressing: from April to June, 2-year-old branches were selected, annular peeling, 1 cm wide, 1 part of wet moss fresh or coniferous soil mixed with 1 part of pastoral soil to cover the wound, and fasten both ends with plastic film. Water it with a syringe every day on a sunny day to maintain the humidity of the substrate. After rooting, it is cut off from the place connected with the mother plant, and then it can be transplanted, the method is the same as before.

How to raise duck foot wood
