Some flower friends will choose to breed violets at home. Xiaobian will introduce you to the three common ways to breed violets. Friends in need can understand them together.

Violet

1. Violet sowing and propagation

Violets often use seeds to sow and propagate, and the sowing time is generally from mid-August to early October. Note that the time of sowing should not be too late, otherwise it will affect the growth, overwintering and flowering quantity and quality of plants. It can also be adjusted according to the time spent, sowing in February in the greenhouse, then flowering in May; sowing in March, flowering in June, and so on, but sowing in July will not blossom in the greenhouse until February to March of the following year. The seeds should not be too dense, otherwise Xiao Miao Yizhong will fall ill.

Second, Violet leaf cutting propagation

Leaf insertion is the most commonly used method for violet reproduction, which is generally carried out in spring and autumn. Robust leaves are selected from plants and there are no diseases and insect pests. In the case of variegated leaf varieties, fewer stripes and more green leaves are preferred. Cut the leaves with a thick petiole of about 3 cm in the middle with a sharp knife, dry them slightly and insert them directly into the mixture of peat and perlite. The leaves should be watered thoroughly after insertion, and then keep moist and shaded properly. Usually at a temperature of about 23 ℃, they can take root in 15-20 days, and then reduce water spraying. After 8-10 weeks, they can form plantlets, and those with large leaves can grow more than 10 seedlings, and strong seedlings can be transplanted. It usually takes 5 to 6 months from leaf insertion to flowering.

3. Violet propagation by water insertion

Violet can also be propagated by water insertion. The violet is obliquely cut out of a leaf, and the petiole is inserted in clear water. Pay attention to the need to maintain suspension at the bottom, and it will take about 1 month to add water and change water to take root and form seedlings. In the process of leaf insertion, the petiole was treated with 25 mg / L hormone for 24 hours, which was beneficial to rooting.

Violet reproduction can be used in many ways, including sowing, leaf insertion and other methods, in addition, there are ramet, tissue culture and other reproduction methods, family breeding, it is recommended to choose leaf insertion and other methods, relatively simple operation.

Culture methods and propagation of violets

Violet is the favorite of many flower friends, and it is a beautiful and generous ornamental plant. It can purify the air and beautify the environment when potted plants are placed indoors, but many of them know how to raise violets well. I don't know how to let it reproduce. Today, the editor is devoted to talking about these professional knowledge. If you like violets, you can focus on it.

Culture method

1. Growth habits

When raising violets, we must have a comprehensive understanding of its growth habits. This plant is native to the Mediterranean coast. It usually likes a warm and humid climate, especially after entering the flowering period, it likes plenty of sunshine. Its cold tolerance is relatively strong, but it can not be placed in an environment below zero degrees Celsius. Violet flowers are afraid of heat and humidity in summer, and then need to increase indoor ventilation.

2. Daily management

The daily management of cultivated violets is very important. at ordinary times, the indoor temperature should be adjusted in time to keep the temperature between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius, and it should be watered on time and thoroughly when watering, so that stagnant water should not appear in the flowerpots and water should not be spilled on the leaves. In addition, during the cultivation of violets, when it grows to nine leaves, it should pick its heart in time to encourage it to grow new branches, and when its height reaches about 40 centimeters, it should be supported by thin bamboo poles.

The mode of propagation of violets

1. Cuttage propagation

There are many different ways of propagation of violets, and cutting propagation is more common. This method can be carried out every year from late spring to early summer, and the substrate for cutting can choose fine sand. At this time, a stem tip with a length of six to eight centimeters should be used as the propagation material, and it should be inserted directly into a fine casserole with a depth of one centimeter on the left side. Spray water every day, and new roots can grow in about a month. At this time, just transplant it into a suitable flowerpot.

2. Sowing and reproduction

Violets can also be propagated by sowing, either in spring or at the end of summer. Violets sown in spring usually bloom in summer and autumn, while violets planted at the end of summer blossom in the fourth or fifth of the following year. When planting and reproducing violets, you can choose moist, fertile and soft soil. The temperature should be kept at about 20 degrees. After emergence, the plants should be watered in time, keep the basin soil moist, spray water every three days, and wait for it to grow three or four leaves. It can be moved to a sunny environment for maintenance.

[FAQ] how to sow violets?

[expert answer] Violet is generally propagated by sowing. Sowing seeds from September to October, the specific operation methods are as follows:

Before sowing, the soil is watered sufficiently, and after sowing, it is no longer watered, only immersed in water for heat preservation, and germinates after about 2 weeks. Its roots are straight roots, and it is easy to hurt the main roots when the seedlings grow up. Therefore, it is necessary to divide the seedlings and transplant before the true leaves are unfolded, which is less harmful to the roots and conducive to early recovery. Water frequently after transplanting to keep the soil moist all the time. Begin to fertilize when the branches are more and more, especially the liquid fertilizer containing potassium should be applied frequently in the early stage of flowering, so that it can blossom in spring next year.
