The latest propagation methods of white orchids

White orchid is a famous ornamental flowers and trees, with white and elegant colors, charming fragrance, long flowering period, dense green branches and leaves, very high ornamental and beautifying value, simple maintenance, and more ways of reproduction. Grafting and striping are used more, while sowing and cutting are used less, but family breeding, grafting and crimping is enough.

Magnolia magnolia sowing and propagation

Sowing seedlings at the end of September or early October, harvest the mature fruit, take out the seeds, soak them in ash water for 2 days, then scrub the waxy aril, rinse them with clean water, and then sow the seeds. The seeds can also be washed and refrigerated with wet sand stratification method, otherwise they are easy to lose their germination ability, and they will be sown indoors in March of the following year and can emerge in about 20 days.

Cuttage propagation of white orchid

White orchid can be propagated by cutting, but the ability of reproduction and regeneration of white orchid is poor, so it is not easy to root and survive by cutting, so it is not adopted.

Grafting propagation of white orchid

White orchids are often propagated by grafting, generally using the 2-3-year-old Zhuo of Magnolia and Huanglan as rootstocks, and there are two kinds of grafting methods, one is by grafting, the other is by cutting.

1, lean on to connect: rely on the time, from spring to autumn, the whole growing season can be carried out. Most of them are carried out from April to July. The best place to lean on is 70 cm from the ground. After being tied up, it is wrapped in a mass of mud and wrapped in leaves to prevent Rain Water from scouring. It can be cut off after about 60 days. Grafting is an easier way to survive, but it is not as exuberant as cutting.

2. Cutting: in the middle and late September, the well-developed branches of Magnolia should be selected as the scion, the section of the rootstock and the scion should be closely combined, bound and mudded with plastic film strips, and the scion should be buried with soil to keep the soil moist. In northern China, the scion should be covered with straw in winter, and the mulch should be removed in the next spring. 4-5 buds in the upper part of the branch should be retained after germination, and the rest of the buds should be removed. After 2-3 years of routine maintenance, they can bloom.

Striping propagation of white orchid

White orchid striping propagation is also used in more ways of reproduction, mainly divided into ordinary striping and high branch crimping.

1. Ordinary pressing: the ordinary pressing is best carried out in February to March, cut the base of the branch to be pressed into half the depth, then cut a section upward, and then stick a tile in the middle, then gently press it into the soil without breaking it, insert it into the soil with "U"-shaped thick wire, fix it, prevent it from warping, and then pile it on the soil. After the root bud is sent out, the strip can be cut off and planted in spring.

2. High branch pressing: select strong and disease-free twigs (1.5-2 cm in diameter) on the mother plant before entering, cut the cracks in the lower part of the basin fork, then cover them with bamboo tube or bottomless tile pot, fill them with culture soil, tie them tightly with string on the outside, be careful not to touch them, often spray a small amount of water, keep them moist, and grow new roots around May of the following year.
