Michelia mollissima is an evergreen shrub of Magnoliaceae, which is widely distributed in southern China. The ornamental value of Michelia is very high, as a kind of potted plant, it is restored by many people, and it also has certain beauty and health care, medicinal value and so on. So when we plant Michelia, how to reproduce? Today, the editor has brought you the breeding method of smiling flowers. Let's take a look at it.

1. Cuttage propagation

One of the common propagation methods of Michelia mollissima is cutting propagation, which is generally suitable for cutting in spring and summer. If it is cut in spring, it should be done in late March. First of all, select the shoot that grows within two years, keep the length at about 12 cm, and cut off the lower leaves of the branch tip. Then apply the rooting agent properly and insert it directly into the seedbed. After cutting, we should pay attention to shading and keep the soil moist. When cutting in summer, the branches should be mainly semi-lignified branches of the same year, with a length of about eight centimeters, and the cutting method is similar to that of spring cutting. Attention should be paid to the disinfection of cutting substrates.

2. Striping propagation

Striping propagation can be carried out during the whole growth period of Michelia mollissima, but it is best after Ching Ming Festival. First of all, we need to choose well-developed and strong branches within two years, with a length of about 20 centimeters. Then choose the position of the wrapped soil as the hairy root, and peel it around 0.5 cm. Peel it to the xylem, and then wrap it with moist moss and other substances. Then wrap it tightly with a plastic film cover and tie it tightly at the upper and lower ends to avoid air leakage. It will take root after about two months, and after the new root is well developed, it will be separated from the mother plant to become a new plant. Water every day after planting, and fertilize when the new shoot grows to about 7 centimeters.

3. Grafting propagation

If grafting is carried out, it should be carried out in spring and autumn, March-April in spring, and September-October in autumn. The rootstock should be dominated by magnolia, and the grafting method is generally used. First of all, select the one-year-old strong branches in the middle and upper part of the mother plant, which are generally about two nodes long, and remove the leaves. Then it can be cut according to the cutting method, and the straw should be covered properly after cutting, and the top tip of the scion can be exposed to avoid excessive moisture. After about four weeks, the scion begins to heal and sprout, when the straw is removed, and then the sprouts on the rootstock are erased.

The above is a brief introduction to the breeding methods of Michelia mollissima. Among them, grafting propagation is less used in the industry, most of which are based on cutting and striping propagation, we should also choose the breeding method according to the actual situation. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
