How do camellias reproduce? The cutting method of camellia is attached!

Camellia, also known as camellia, is one of the top ten famous flowers in China, colorful, is a famous horticultural variety. So, how do camellias reproduce? What are the cutting methods for camellias? Let's get to know it together.

How do camellias reproduce?

1. Breeding

The breeding and planting of camellia is a more meticulous breeding method, and it is indeed a necessary process for novice reproduction. If the soil is to be highly permeable, it is necessary to add fine sand in the soil. The amount of fine sand is about 1/3, and the soil is crushed and then mixed. Soak the seeds for about 2 hours. If the seeds are fresh, they can be planted directly, cover about 3 cm of soil, water and so on to germinate. It can sprout in about a month, and you should pay attention to watering during this period.

2. Cuttage

Cuttage is a method derived from the uncertainty of early breeding and the selection of better maternal plants. the time is usually around March or September, and the selected matrix is generally the one with the best growth. it should contain newborn buds and have no history of disease, it should be obliquely cut from the root node, and then put into the rooting powder for about 10 minutes to speed up its rooting rate, and then put it into the prepared soil. As long as the soil is compacted, this breeding method is more suitable for small and medium-sized farmers.

3. Leaning connection method

First of all, it is necessary to select a high-quality matrix, which is disease-free and naturally grows to extremely healthy, and then choose a middle-to-upper position on its more robust branches to cut and match the size of the interface between the two. then the two are closely combined and sealed, and after they are fully combined, they can be selected for cutting and transplanting again. Farmers who plan to cultivate more precious camellias can choose to use this method to keep the parts they want to keep.

Second, the cutting method of camellia.

1. Select cuttings

Select the semi-lignified branches that grow on the healthy and disease-free mother plant for more than one year, and the branches should be stronger in the first place, which is conducive to the rooting of the branches, and the sprouting growth is relatively fast. If the selected branches are relatively thin and weak, it is not only difficult to take root, but may also grow weakly during growth, and cuttings should have 2-3 full-growing bud holes. After these cuttings survive, new branches and leaves will grow very quickly and new plants will be formed.

2. Use rooting powder

If the cuttings of camellias are cut directly, the survival rate may be relatively low, so rooting powder is generally used in cuttings, which can obviously improve the survival rate of cuttings. Soaking the bottom of cuttings in rooting powder solution for 2-3 hours, the rooting rate is relatively high when cutting. in addition, there is a certain relationship between the survival rate of cuttings and soil, so it is necessary to choose loose and breathable soil, not humus soil. So as not to cause new root burns.

3. Cuttage

Cuttings should be cut along with cutting, and cuttings should not be too deep, generally 3-5 cm into the soil, so that in loose and breathable soil, the oxygen content is high and it will take root in a short time, but if the insertion is too deep and the oxygen content is low, the wound should not be healed, and it will also lead to cuttings rot or bacterial death. Because the insertion is too shallow, it is necessary to press the soil with your hands after cutting so that it is closely connected with the cuttings in order to avoid lodging and shaking. Lead to cuttage failure.

The above is the propagation method and cutting method of camellia introduced to you by Xiaobian. Do you know all about it?
