Summer temperature high potted osmanthus flowers in summer cuttings can it? How to maintain it?

Potted osmanthus flowers can be cut in summer, but when the summer temperature is too high, some osmanthus varieties will enter a semi-dormant state, metabolism slows down, cambium is not active, and after cutting, double care is needed. Summer osmanthus cuttings are recommended according to the following methods:

Choose a skewer. The first step of osmanthus cutting is to select suitable cuttings. When selecting cuttings, select semi-lignified osmanthus branches, and observe the buds at the top of branches. Try to select the buds that are more lush. This kind of branch cambium is relatively active and easier to root. If the shoot top thin, low activity after cutting is not easy to root.

Drying. Cut off the selected osmanthus cuttings below the excess leaves, put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wounds, and it is best to soak them with rooting powder. Dry the wound this step must be carried out, summer bacteria are more active, do not dry the wound is easy to be infected black.

Cutting. Put the osmanthus cuttings into a loose and breathable medium. The medium can be coarse sand, nutrient soil, vermiculite and the like. In short, it should have good water permeability and air permeability.

Conservation. Cuttage osmanthus can survive, maintenance is the key. Just after cutting irrigation a permeable water, put in a cool and ventilated place for two days, let the water in the pot volatilize some, and then cover a plastic bag on the pot, do not tie up below, moisturizing. Do not question the cover plastic bag is redundant, this does not survive or has a great relationship. Summer temperature is high, water evaporates quickly, the surface of pot soil is easy to dry, but the bottom of pot is difficult to dry, more watering osmanthus branches will soak black, less watering will dry and die, it is difficult to master the degree of watering. Especially in the north, it is hot and dry, and cuttings will be wrinkled due to lack of water in a few days. With plastic bags, water evaporation can be greatly reduced, so that the basin soil can be kept moist for a long time.

Or when cuttage with a large cola bottle cuttage, cut from the middle below loaded with wet sand, cuttage with transparent tape and then stick the bottle, placed in a cool and ventilated place maintenance, is also very easy to root. In summer, under the condition of high temperature and humidity, osmanthus takes root quickly. In about 30 days, roots will appear. Let it grow for about 20 days. When the roots are richer, it can be transplanted.
