The method of rapid prototyping of triangular plum cuttings is no longer practical to worry about turning hard cuttings into firewood sticks.

The cuttage of Prunus mume is the most commonly used means of rapid propagation. But if you work hard to cut and get a pile of firesticks, how do you feel? Is it difficult to propagate by cutting? You can take a look at my cutting method, so that triangular plum rapid prototyping, beautiful flowers.

First: select the triangular plum with more branches and vigorous growth as the cutting object (I choose the branch with about thumb thickness and the length of the main rod about 20 cm), and keep the number and length of branches according to personal preference, as shown in the picture: the upper cut is cut flat and sealed with wax, and the lower cut selects the node oblique shear.

Second: soak in rooting water or activin, willow juice, aspirin, white sugar water for a few hours, or you can use nothing. Specific concentration ratio and time length, please refer to the authoritative person's post, hehe, there are many in the forum!

Third: cut the appropriate size of the flower paste, insert the branches and soak them in the rooting water that has just been used. In fact, the function of flower paste is not to help take root, but to reduce the damage of the part when putting on the basin, which will be introduced later.

Fourth: find a beverage bottle of the corresponding size, cut it, make holes at the bottom to spread foam, and then spread a layer of cutting medium (be sure to disinfect). I use coconut bran here. Then put in the branches and cover with the medium. What is emphasized here is that no matter what medium you use, the following conditions should be met: aseptic (disinfection), no fertility (plain soil), air permeability, water retention. Personally, I think this is a key step in survival. I choose coconut bran, scalded with boiling water, cold to semi-dry (too wet and perishable).

Fifth: the next simple, set a bag, you can punch holes, can also be completely closed, as long as you properly ventilated (uncover the bag), to ensure that the branches of high humidity and will not mildew. There is no dogma in the specific time and interval of opening the bag, and it varies according to the environment, media, cutting objects, etc., this is the play experience! He he

Sixth: the next is also very critical, the general soil temperature is 1 to 2 degrees higher than the air temperature is the ideal state, such a condition is that plants root first and then germinate, on the contrary, if the air temperature is higher than the soil temperature, half of the plants germinate first and then root, so it is dangerous and easy to fake life. Many people are complacent about sprouting quickly as soon as they insert it for a few days, hehe, be careful. How to make the soil temperature slightly higher than the air temperature? Use your own brains to find ways, such as the use of white reflection, black light absorption principle, such as pet heating mat, such as sawdust bottom fermentation to generate heat, and so on. In short, to ensure that the substrate is small wet, cutting branches of high humidity, generally survive no problem. This is the appearance of 22 days, pay attention to the role of flower paste!

Seventh: the time of potting. I think as long as you root, try to pot in the morning, make use of the protective effect of flower mud on the roots, and find that if you wear the flower mud, you should go to the pot to refine the seedlings as soon as possible. Ha ha, the pot connected with the flower mud will not affect the future growth of the plant at all. This is from the pruning to the upper basin map, that is, 22 days, the column is quite satisfactory.

On the map of the week, that is, the 30th day of cutting, the twigs are drawn very quickly, so the root system is also growing and can be nursed normally. This plan is used to make autumn grafting rootstock, if there is no accident, it should be OK!

Many days have passed. I have changed the gallon pot (1 gallon). I feel that it is not appropriate for small plum plants to use large pots or large ones with small pots. I like to change flowerpots slowly as the plant grows up.
