The latest cutting method of Gardenia jasminoides

Gardenia is a kind of flower that everyone is familiar with, and it is widely distributed in our country. Many local parks can be simple gardenia figure, in fact, gardenia is not only ornamental, but also has a certain edible and medicinal value. At present, there are many people planting gardenia in our country. When planting gardenia, the main propagation methods are cutting propagation, sowing propagation and striping propagation. What the editor wants to introduce to you today is the cutting method of gardenia.

1. Branch preparation

The preparation of branches is the first and very important step of cutting, because the quality of branches directly affects the survival rate and the growth ability after survival. First of all, we should choose the gardenia tree with long growth years, strong and free from diseases and insect pests as the mother plant. Then choose the strong and sturdy branches as cuttings, not the branches harmed by diseases and insect pests. Then cut the branch from the base and cut it into cuttings of about 18 centimeters. Cut the base of the cuttings obliquely into a cut of about 45 degrees, soak them in rooting water for about 10 minutes, then fish them out to dry and wait for cuttings.

2. Matrix preparation

After preparing the branches and cuttings, of course, we should prepare the cutting substrate. Gardenia is suitable for growing in sour soil, so we should pay attention to the acidity and alkalinity when choosing the substrate. Should not be neutral or alkaline, otherwise the survival rate of cuttings will be very low. Then ensure that the substrate is fertile enough, the permeability is strong and the drainage and irrigation is normal. If it is a potted plant, then we should pay attention to the choice of the pot, in which the best choice is the ceramic basin, because the permeability of the ceramic basin is strong, which is conducive to the rooting of cuttings, and the price is more affordable, which can reduce the planting cost.

3. Timely cutting

When cutting, try to prepare branches when the plant has not yet flowered, because at this time the branch nutrition is very rich, and the rooting rate is high. After doing all the preparatory work, control the cutting density and insert the cuttings vertically into the substrate, keeping the depth at about 5 cm. Then cover the fine soil and compact it, so that the base of the cuttings is in full contact with the soil, and then pour water thoroughly to promote the rooting of the cuttings. After watering, the management should be strengthened and the fertilizer should be applied properly to meet the nutritional needs. Water insertion can also be carried out, the survival rate of water insertion is close to 100%, and water insertion is generally carried out in May-June every year. Keep the top two leaves of the cuttings into the water, pay attention to change the water, prevent the water quality from deteriorating and cause the base to rot, and it can take root after about 20 days.

4. Points for attention

When cutting the base of the branches, we should pay attention to one time in place to ensure that the wound is smooth, so that it can fully contact the soil, enhance the ability of nutrient absorption, and improve the rooting rate. Attention should be paid to temperature management after cutting. the temperature should be kept at about 15 degrees. If the temperature is too high, it will affect the rooting of cuttings, cause flower roots to rot and reduce the survival rate. And to keep the soil moist, the substrate should be watered in time after whitening, so as to prevent the cuttings from dying due to lack of moisture, and moisture is the key to ensure the normal growth of gardenia. And also pay attention to the work of topdressing, fertilizer is mainly rotten farm manure, pay attention to the amount of fertilizer, to prevent improper topdressing of gardenia leaves yellowing blackening and other phenomena.

The above is a brief introduction of gardenia cutting methods, there are many propagation methods of gardenia, cutting propagation is mainly used for family ornamental reproduction.
