Cuckoo cuttings are not easy to live? Put it in a bag with flowers and leaves sticking out.

Cutting propagation: the method of cutting rhododendron is simple and the probability of successful breeding is high. The time is best in spring and autumn. Striping breeding: high branches are generally used for striping. Striping is often carried out in April or May. Sowing and breeding: most varieties can be sown and breed. The mature period of seeds is from October to January every year.

1. Cuttage propagation

This method is the most widely used method in daily life, and the advantage is that it is simple and has a high probability of reproductive success. With this method of reproduction, the cuttage basin had better use a new basin with a diameter of 20 centimeters, and the material should be tile basin. Because this kind of basin has good air permeability, it is easier to grow roots. It is the most suitable for cuttage in Spring and Autumn, and the temperature of about 23 ℃ is beneficial to survival. Before cutting, you need to spray the soil in the flowerpot one day in advance, but not too wet, so that the soil is just wet when cutting. The depth inserted in the soil is 3-4 cm. After the cuttage is finished, the basin should be covered with a plastic bag, the mouth of the bag should be tied tightly, and the plastic bag should be opened when watering, and then re-tied up after watering.

two。 Striping breeding

① generally uses high technology for striping. Striping is often carried out in April or May. First of all, the healthy and sturdy branches of 2-3 years old should be taken from the mother plant, and a circle of bark about 1 cm wide should be cut off with a knife about 10 cm above the branch. Then wrap the branches loosely with a rectangular plastic film, tie it up with a rope about 2 centimeters below the branch incision, open the upper end of the plastic film in the shape of a trumpet, and fill in the soil from the upper end.

② lack of water can be watered by spraying water to the leaves, allowing the water to flow down the branches and slowly seep into the soil, maintaining the soil's humidity, speeding up the healing of wounds on the branches and allowing it to grow new roots. When the root is 3 cm long after 3 months, it can be separated from the mother plant.

3. Sowing and breeding

Most varieties can be bred by sowing. Seeds mature from October to January each year, when the color of the pericarp changes from cyan to yellow and finally brown, the upper part of the fruit will crack and the seeds begin to scatter, and the seeds can be collected at this time. Generally sowing in March or April, sowing in the basin, because the seeds are small, the basin should be cleaned and dried, and the basin and soil should be disinfected.
