Propagation methods of enduring winter flowers

The propagation methods of winter flowers are: sowing, cutting, grafting, tissue culture, mainly sowing and cutting. The following editor will introduce the main methods of reproduction.

Cuttage

Winter flower can be propagated by cutting, which has the advantages of simple operation and high survival rate, which is the most commonly used propagation method at present.

The main results are as follows: 1. Disinfect the seedbed substrate before cutting.

2. The best cutting time is from the end of June to September.

3. The scion needs semi-lignified branches in the current year, the cut is smooth, it is sterilized, and the humidity in the shed is kept at 60% 80%, and the temperature is at different 25 degrees Celsius.

Sowing seeds

Winter-tolerant flowers can also be propagated by sowing, and the cycle of sowing and reproduction is longer, so it must be maintained patiently and carefully. Scratching usually takes place in spring every year, when the mild climate is more conducive to seed germination. Pot maintenance needs to prepare the soil in advance, large-area sowing requires soil preparation and fertilization in advance, choose the planting with full particles, soak the planting and drain the water before planting. After planting, you need to control the light of the environment to keep the soil moist and wait for the seeds to germinate.

Planting

Planting basin should choose 15-20 cm diameter mud basin with good water absorption and air permeability. Mountain mud is mostly used in the south of basin soil, and it can also be mixed with 4 parts of rotten leaf soil, 3 parts of compost soil and 3 parts of sandy soil, not to mention clayey and alkaline soil, let alone calcareous soil.

Small plants change pots every 1-2 years, medium plants 2-3 years, and large plants 4-5 years, usually after flowering or September-October. When changing the basin, cut off the long or dead branches and replace them with fertile rotten leaf soil. In addition, the root system of camellia is fragile, so we should be careful not to hurt the root system when transplanting. After changing pots in spring, there is no need to fertilize immediately. Try not to change pots during the dormant periods of hot summer and severe winter.
