The latest propagation method of Anthurium andraeanum

The propagation of Anthurium andraeanum includes ramet propagation, sowing reproduction, tissue culture and so on. At present, excellent plants are mainly cultivated by sexual hybridization, but because Anthurium andraeanum is a cross-pollinated plant, the offspring of hybrid seeds with a high degree of heterozygosity will have a wide range of character separation. there is a lot of variation, so let's take a look at it.

Sowing and propagation of Anthurium andraeanum

In Anthurium andraeanum breeding, sowing is the main way to obtain new varieties of Anthurium andraeanum. Anthurium andraeanum fruit is a kind of berry, it must be sowed with picking, peel and pulp should be removed before sowing in order to avoid rot and mildew and affect the germination rate of seeds. Sowing method can use pure sand germination method, sowing seeds in clean river sand, sowing depth of 0.5-0.8 cm, maintain a certain humidity, generally about 15 days can germinate, new leaves will soon grow. When it reaches 5-6 leaves, it can be transplanted to the substrate of pure perlite mixed with peat soil or coconut bran at 1:2 for pseudo-cultivation.

Ramet propagation of Anthurium andraeanum

Ramet propagation is best selected in the cool spring and autumn, should be careful not to hurt the mother plant, too large lateral buds, too tight lateral buds do not distinguish, too weak lateral buds do not distinguish. Select the lateral buds which are easy to separate from the mother plant and are more robust, with at least two main roots or more.

Cutting Propagation of Anthurium andraeanum

The cutting propagation of Anthurium andraeanum is to cut off the old branches and remove the leaves. Each 1-2 nodes is cut into a cuttage and inserted in a 25-35 ℃ cuttage. After a few weeks, it can sprout and take root.

Tissue Culture of Anthurium andraeanum

Tissue culture is to put the callus and leaves of Anthurium andraeanum in the culture medium, generally with leaf tissue culture, the leaves are easy to disinfect and operate more conveniently. In the bottle seedling stage, the tissue culture seedlings completed the growth process under various optimal growth conditions provided by man. Therefore, tissue seedlings must have a process of adapting to the external environment.
