Summary of the latest breeding methods of Bauhinia

Bauhinia plant posture beautiful, unique shape, bright colors, common in the courtyard, park, sidewalk, is an excellent garden view tree species. Bauhinia can also be used as potted plants to watch, in addition to the medicinal value of Bauhinia is also very high, then you know how to reproduce it? Mistakes in breeding methods can easily lead to plant death. The following small series will popularize the breeding methods of Bauhinia chinensis for everyone.

propagation method

Bauhinia propagation methods This is mainly sowing, sub-plant, layering, cuttage, grafting several methods.

seed reproduction

9-10 After the fruits are ripe, the pods are collected, seeds are taken, stored and overwintered in a dry and cool place, seeds are sown in March to April in spring, the seeds are soaked in warm water before sowing, the seeds are placed in an environment of 15 DEG C after absorbing water and expanding, and the seeds are drenched with warm water once or twice a day. When the seed coat is white, it can be sown to the seedbed. After half a month, it can emerge. After emergence, it can be properly thinned. When the seedlings grow 3-4 leaves, they can be transplanted. The transplanting soil needs to be loose and fertile, and the drainage is good.

division propagation

Bauhinia has developed root system and is easy to produce tillers. Before germination in spring or autumn, tillers and lateral roots connected with mother plants are separated and planted separately. It is easy to survive. The lateral roots separated from autumn plants need to be protected for overwintering. After planting in spring next year, they can bloom two years later.

layering propagation

The layering propagation is the best in spring growth season, select strong branches, peel off a section of bark, about 1-3cm, expose xylem under bark, apply diluted rooting powder to 2-3cm above bark peeling, wrap the cut with plastic film after drying, fill it with soil, and tighten both sides of the film after watering.

cutting propagation

Cuttage propagation in the summer growing season, cut its growing twigs, select loose fertile, good drainage sand, twigs inserted in the sand can be generally suitable for family farming.

grafting propagation

Grafting propagation is carried out in the summer growing season. Because Bauhinia is not cold-resistant, grafting propagation is not suitable for northern areas. Cut off the young shoots of the year to make cuttings, you can use the buds or branches of Red-leaf Bauhinia canadensis as scions, scions require pure varieties, vigorous growth, disease-free plants, more choose sunny branches, scions collected in time to cut off leaves, start grafting. If the grafting weather is hot and dry, one to two days in advance should be irrigated once permeable, so as to improve the grafting survival rate. After about 20 days, check whether the grafted plants survive, if not, contact them in time.

The above is the introduction of several common breeding methods of Bauhinia, Bauhinia hi humid environment, timely watering after planting, keep the soil moist, like fertilizer, fertility deficiency branches and leaves sparse.
