The double survival rate of cutting jasmine depends on its skill.

Jasmine flowers, in summer, bloom more, flower fragrance farmers, flower friends like to raise a few pots. But do flower friends know? Cutting jasmine, in summer, whether it is softwood cuttage or hardwood cuttage, it depends on "skill" to get double survival rate.

Next, let's take a look at two ways and techniques of cutting jasmine:

1. Hardwood cutting

(1) cutting time

It's usually at the end of March. At this time, the temperature began to rise, the sap of jasmine began to flow, and the plants began to germinate and grow. At this time, cutting jasmine, cuttings callus fast, grow fast, the survival rate is higher.

(2) selection of cuttings

When cutting flower friends, it is better to have sturdy, disease-free and pest-free branches in 2023. The surface of this branch is grayish white. The selection of cuttings, generally combined with mother plant pruning, is selected from the pruned branches. In addition, cutting jasmine, if you want to get strong branches, it is necessary to fertilize the jasmine mother in time during maintenance. If you use flower organic nutrient solution and irrigate 500 times water every 7 days, it will grow vigorously.

(3) length of cuttings

Cut the selected jasmine branches into branches of 10 cm to 15 cm, cut flat at the upper end and oblique at the lower end. Inserted in loose, fertile, good drainage basin soil. After cutting, within one and a half months, it is necessary to achieve the watering method of "a small amount and many times", that is, watering frequently and watering less, in order to keep the basin soil "dry and wet", that is, the moist state of neither dry nor wet, which is beneficial to the callus and rooting of cuttings, which is the key to the survival of cuttings.

2. Softwood cutting

(1) cutting time

The softwood cuttings of jasmine should be from May to August. At this time, the branches have formed a semi-lignified state, the growth is exuberant, and the survival rate after cutting is very high.

(2) cutting soil

The culture soil of cuttings can be cultivated with fine sifted soil, but it must be mixed with 40% rice chaff ash or fine gravel, or the culture soil planted with jasmine, the fine soil after sieving. Generally speaking, the requirements for training scholars should be fine, loose, fertile and good drainage performance.

(3) Cuttage pot

A small basin with a diameter of about 22 cm is optional. On the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin, cross-cover two pieces of broken basin to block the soil and not block the water; spread a layer of 3 cm thick granular soil, fill the soil particles with culture soil, and gently vibrate the basin to make the basin soil solid.

(4) selection of cuttings

With the tender green branches growing in that year, they are selected to grow healthily, with at least 3 pairs of leaves. The method of ear selection is to cut off two bifurcated branchlets together with an old branch, then cut them from the middle to form two cuttings, and then cut off a pair of leaves at the base of the cuttings. This method is called "heel cutting", that is, with a small section of old branches, it is easy to heal and survive after cutting. it should be noted that cuttings must be cut along with cutting and cannot be stored for too long, otherwise, it will cause a large amount of water loss and cannot survive after cutting.

(5) cutting method

When cutting, press the plant spacing of 5cm to 6cm, and insert the selected cuttings evenly into the pre-prepared basin soil. For example, a small basin with a caliber of 22 cm can generally insert 30 cuttings; if it is inserted too little, it is relatively difficult to survive. The depth of cuttings in the soil should be 1 / 3 of the length of cuttings, not too deep. Immediately after cutting, pour the basin soil with water once, and put the cutting pot in the shade of the leeward.

(6) Management after cutting

Spray water on the leaves 2-3 times a day within 20-30 days after jasmine cutting. After sprouting and rooting for about one month, the cuttings gradually moved to the sun, gradually increased the light, and irrigated with light fertilizer and water.
