Grafting method of Qionghua

Qionghua is light-loving, slightly shade-tolerant and cold-tolerant, so it can also be cultivated in the south of North China. As Qionghua, also known as Juba Immortals, Phalaenopsis, Niu ear holding beads, the pattern is very special, so many friends like it very much. The editor will introduce to you the grafting method of Qionghua. Interested friends can learn about it.

Qionghua

Qionghua seedlings usually take 7 to 8 years to blossom, but if they are grafted with adult shoots with flower buds, they can blossom in the first year after survival. The grafting method is as follows: at the beginning of March (before bud germination), take the flowering branches of the mother tree (usually the outer branches in the middle and upper part of the crown), cut off a section about 5 cm long as a scion, leave the top bud is more ideal, generally use the high grafting method. Place it in the shade after grafting. Wait for the buds of the scion to produce leaves, and then put them directly in the sun. There is a growth correlation between the trunk and branches of Qionghua. When the lateral branches are high, the top of the trunk should be cut off in order to speed up the survival and growth of the scion and make it enter the full flowering stage as soon as possible. Qionghua pest control: Qionghua has strong adaptability, sand, clay and general soil can be cultivated, and the roots of seedlings cultivated with sandy soil are well developed. Attention should be paid to the diligent application of thin fertilizer in the peak growing season. If it is found that the leaves are yellowing, the leaves can be sprayed with ferrous sulfate solution of 1 to 1000. Qionghua leaves have more fur and are generally not susceptible to insect pests. However, the degree of keratinization of the lower epidermis is low, and the secretion of some bacterial spores during germination can dissolve this part of the cuticular layer, so it is usually necessary to spray Bordeaux solution during the plum rain season. In addition, due to the moderate refraction of Qionghua cuticle, it is not suitable for direct exposure in summer days.

[FAQ]: how to raise Qionghua?

[expert answer]: Qionghua is a very beautiful flower, called Jueight Immortals, Woody Hydrangea, etc., is a semi-evergreen shrub of the genus Ninjuriaceae, the flowers are as large as jade pots, surrounded by eight large five-petal flowers in a week, surrounded by the white pearl-like flowers in the middle, surrounded by a mass of butterfly-like stamens, like butterflies playing with beads in the breeze, dancing like eight Immortals, immortal and attractive. So what are the planting skills of good-looking Qionghua? Next, the editor of the first Agricultural Classic will tell you how to grow Qionghua.

[growth habits]: Qionghua likes light, slightly resistant to shade, likes warm and humid climate, is more resistant to cold, and is suitable to grow in fertile, moist and well-drained soil. More hardy, can adapt to the general soil, good born in moist and fertile places. The growth is exuberant, the germination ability and tillering ability are strong, and the seeds have the habit of germination every other year. Produced in southern Jiangsu, western Anhui, Zhejiang, northwest Jiangxi, western Hubei and southern Hunan. Born in hills, under forests on hillsides or in thickets. Gardens are also often cultivated.

[method of reproduction]:

1. Sowing: Qionghua commonly used seeds are propagated, collected in November, stacked and ripe, washed, stratified at low temperature to sow in the following spring, and covered with slightly thicker soil and covered with grass. In June of that year, some sprouted and unearthed, at this time can uncover the grass to shade, leave the bed for 2 years to change the bed for planting, 4-5 years for transplanting for garden beautification.

2. Grafting: Qionghua is grafted at the beginning of March (before the bud sprouts), take the branches of the mother tree that can blossom, cut off a section about 5 cm long as the scion, leave the top bud is more ideal, generally use the high grafting method. Place in shade after grafting, wait for the buds of the scion to sprout leaves, and then directly put in the sun, it can blossom in the first year after survival.

[culture method]:

1. Soil: Qionghua has strong adaptability, sandy soil, clay and general soil can be cultivated, and the roots of seedlings cultivated with sandy soil are well developed.

2. Transplanting: Qionghua transplanting is easy to survive, which is carried out before germination in early spring, and the semi-overcast environment is the better. attention should be paid to fertilizer and water management after survival.

3. Fertilization: Qionghua should be fertilized with thin fertilizer frequently, leaf yellow can be sprayed with 1max 1000 ferrous sulfate solution, and should be fertilized once after flowering.

4. Pruning: the main branch of Qionghua is easy to sprout and grow, which disturbs the shape of the tree. it can be pruned properly after flowering, and the tip of the overgrown branch is cut off in summer to take the shape of the whole plant.

5. Diseases and insect pests: Qionghua leaves have more fur and are generally not easy to be harmed by diseases and insect pests, but they usually need to be sprayed with Bordeaux solution during the plum rain season.

[editor's summary]: the above is the planting technology of Qionghua introduced to you by the first Agricultural Classic Xiaobian, for growers' reference. When planting Qionghua, you must plant it in accordance with scientific methods and the growth habits of Qionghua, in order to produce more beautiful flowers.

[FAQ] how to raise Qionghua? Culture methods and matters needing attention of Qionghua

[expert answers]

1. Sowing seeds

Qionghua fruit is a drupe in single fruit, the endocarp is very hard and wrapped outside the seed. The seed harvest time is generally after October, marked by the blackening of the exocarp. The seeds should be stored in sand after harvest, removed by Qingming the following year, peeled off the seed shell (endocarp), or worn off part of the seed shell, or soaked in 0.1% dilute acid solution for 24 hours to soften the seed shell before sowing. Untreated seeds are generally difficult to emerge in the same year. After sowing, cover the soil about 1.5 cm, if pot sowing should be often watered, loosen the soil, so that the seedlings as soon as possible.

2. Seedling management

The shelled seeds generally emerge after about a month, and the seedlings should be properly shaded when they just come out of the first pair of leaves, especially at noon, so as not to let the sun shine directly on the seedlings, lest the water transpiration is too fast and wilt the young leaves. If the leaves are found to curl and recover immediately in the evening, it shows that the transpiration of leaves is greater than that of roots, which is a common phenomenon under hot or dry conditions.

3. Grafting

Qionghua seedlings generally take 7 to 8 years to blossom, but if they are grafted with adult Qionghua shoots with flower buds, they can blossom in the first year after survival. The grafting method is as follows: at the beginning of March (before bud germination), take the flowering branches of the mother tree (usually the outer branches in the middle and upper part of the crown), cut off a section about 5 cm long as a scion, leave the top bud is more ideal, generally use the high grafting method. Place it in the shade after grafting. Wait for the buds of the scion to produce leaves, and then put them directly in the sun. There is a growth correlation between the trunk and branches of Qionghua. When the lateral branches are high, the top of the trunk should be cut off in order to speed up the survival and growth of the scion and make it enter the full flowering stage as soon as possible.

4. Pruning

The pruning of Qionghua is one of the most important parts of Qionghua planting. Qionghua carries out new flower bud differentiation after flower fade in midsummer every year and gestates flower buds in March of the following year, so all branches on Qionghua plant should be truncated at one time when cutting off residual flowers in summer to prevent Qionghua flowers from moving up year by year and exposing the lower part. After being cut short, it often stimulates a large number of hidden buds on the main branches of Qionghua to sprout and form many overgrown branches, which not only consumes nutrients, but also disturbs the tree shape, so they should be erased when the hidden buds just begin to sprout. With the continuous increase of the age of the tree, the vitality of the perennial branches will decline year by year. At this time, a re-cutting should be carried out, except for the sturdy main branches of about 50 cm, all the crowns should be cut off, and the old trees should be renewed with the new long branches after the hidden buds germinate.

5. Pest control

Qionghua has strong adaptability, sandy soil, clay and general soil can be cultivated, and the roots of seedlings cultivated with sandy soil are developed. Attention should be paid to the diligent application of thin fertilizer in the peak growing season. If it is found that the leaves are yellowing, the leaves can be sprayed with ferrous sulfate solution of 1 to 1000. Qionghua leaves have more fur and are generally not susceptible to insect pests. However, the degree of keratinization of the lower epidermis is low, and the secretion of some bacterial spores during germination can dissolve this part of the cuticular layer, so it is usually necessary to spray Bordeaux solution during the plum rain season. In addition, due to the moderate refraction of Qionghua cuticle, it is not suitable for direct exposure in summer days.
