Two kinds of common cutting propagation of longevity flower

Because the longevity flower is a succulent plant, so its reproduction method is relatively simple, the general longevity flower uses the asexual reproduction method to carry on the reproduction. The method of cutting propagation is the most important way of propagation of longevity flowers. in addition, longevity flowers are also propagated by tissue culture. Longevity flower cutting propagation can be divided into leaf cutting and terminal bud cutting, how should it be operated?

Longevity flower

1. Leaf cuttage. Take off the whole leaf (the bigger the leaf, the better) and dry the wound in a cool place. after a few hours, the petiole is completely inserted into the moist matrix. If the petiole is too short, a part of the leaf can be inserted into the matrix instead of the short petiole. Don't get too wet at this stage, lest the leaves get sick and rot.

After cutting, put it in a place with less sunlight and the temperature was kept between 20 ℃ ~ 25 ℃. The root system begins to be established after 4 weeks, when it can be put under full-day sunshine and low concentration of fertilizer can be applied. The seedlings differentiated from callus can be seen after 7 weeks and 10 weeks. When the seedlings reach 15~20cm, they can be cultivated separately from the leaves, and the leaves can continue to produce seedlings. Separate seedlings can be used as female parent seedlings to produce rootless cuttings.

2. Terminal bud cuttage. The apical buds of the prepared branches were directly inserted into the flowerpot with the substrate installed, keeping the substrate moist, the light intensity should not be too strong, and the temperature should be kept between 20 ℃ and 25 ℃, and it could take root in about 2-3 weeks, and then it could be managed during the production period. Terminal bud cuttings are generally used for potted flower production (note: longevity flowers are typical plants that bloom in long days, sunshine time must be longer than 12.5 hours during cutting propagation, and light must be replenished when cutting propagation in winter).

Cuttage propagation method of longevity flower of palace lantern

Palace lantern longevity flower is a kind of succulent plant, which is very simple and convenient to reproduce. Palace lantern longevity flower is commonly used in two cutting methods, one is branch cutting, the other is leaf cutting, and then sort out the specific propagation methods of palace lantern longevity flower branch cutting and leaf cutting, the specific operation is as follows.

Planting and propagation methods of longevity flowers in palace lanterns 1. Branch cuttings of longevity flowers in palace lanterns

Palace lantern longevity flower branch cutting, like ordinary longevity flowers, palace lantern longevity flower is easy to propagate with branches, which is why many flower friends can use surface mail to share palace lantern longevity flower branches. the main thing to pay attention to cutting is the medium, conditional flower friends can use pure vermiculite or perlite to cut, of course, other media can also be used. The hardest part should be garden soil and some other poorly permeable soil cuttings. The picture below shows the longevity of Huayu cuttings with vermiculite.

2. Leaf propagation of longevity flower of Gongdeng.

The leaves of longevity flowers can send out fine roots in about a week, and the leaves can have seedlings after more than 10 days. The specific method is to use flowerpot trays or other containers to face up the roots of the leaves (in fact, the leaves should be broken off by hand instead of knives) and so on.

After the wound is dry, spray a little water to put it in a cool place. Do not spray the leaves with more water every day. It is recommended not to be immersed in water. I put it on the balcony with sunshade and saw a root emerge in a week.

Propagation methods of longevity flower cuttings points for attention

Longevity flowers are low and green all the year round. They can be planted in spring, summer and autumn. Longevity has a long flowering period, luxuriant flowers and high ornamental value. Today, Xiaoqi would like to share the propagation methods and points for attention of longevity flower cuttings.

I. methods of cutting and propagation of longevity flowers

① leaf cutting will pick the whole leaf (the bigger the better), put it in a cool place to dry the wound, after a few hours, the petiole will be completely inserted into the moist matrix, such as petiole is too short, you can also insert part of the leaf into the matrix to replace the short petiole, this stage can not be too wet, so as to avoid leaf disease and decay, after cutting, put it in a weaker place in the sun, keeping the temperature between 20: 25 ℃. The root system begins to be established after 4 weeks, when it can be put under full-day sunshine and low concentration of fertilizer can be applied. The seedlings differentiated from callus can be seen after 7 weeks and 10 weeks. When the seedlings reach 15~20cm, they can be separated from the leaves and cultured alone, while the leaves can continue to produce seedlings. Separate seedlings can be used as maternal seedlings for the production of rootless cuttings.

② terminal bud cuttings directly insert the prepared rootless cuttings into the flowerpot with substrate, keep the substrate moist, the light intensity should not be too strong, keep the temperature between 20-25 ℃, it can take root in about 2-3 weeks, and then enter the production period management. Terminal bud cuttings are generally used in potted flower production. Longevity flowers mostly use the method of asexual reproduction, in addition to cutting, but also use tissue culture to propagate. Cutting can be divided into two kinds of cutting methods: leaf cutting and top bud cutting. Generally, leaf cutting and tissue culture are mostly used for the production of female parent seedlings, and apical branch cuttings are mostly used for potted flower production. In potted flower production, rootless cuttings are usually cut directly in the flowerpot where they will eventually be planted, so the cultivation medium and cutting substrate are the same, with the mixture of peat and perlite at the ratio of 7 ∶ 3, and the pH of the substrate is adjusted to 5.5 to 6.0. Producers can adjust the proportion according to their own water quality, production variety and production season, or add soilless substrates such as vermiculite and sand to achieve a matrix with good drainage and moderate nutrients.

Note: longevity flower is a typical long-day flowering plant, the sunshine time must be longer than 12.5 hours during cutting propagation, and replenish light when cutting propagation in winter.

II. Matters needing attention in cutting longevity flowers

1. Using net yellow sand, sandy loam or nutrient soil as medium, it is best to disinfect with 0.1% potassium permanganate solution.

2. If you pinch a branch that is 6cm long and 10cm long, you should have more than two leaf segments. When cutting longevity flowers, the cuttings should be cut as high as possible, and the lower end of the cut is generally oblique, preferably 2mm away from the bottom bud, which is conducive to rooting, and the upper mouth should be flat and more than 4mm away from the top bud. to avoid moisture loss after the upper incision dry and discoloration, resulting in cutting failure.

3. The longevity flower branch is inserted directly into the medium, and the insertion depth is 1 to 2, compacted and watered once. After that, keep the medium moist. Do not water or spray too much, as it will easily cause succulent leaves and stems to rot.

4. After cutting, longevity flowers can be covered with plastic film to keep heat and moisture, which can promote the rapid rooting of branches and ensure the survival rate.

5. The cuttings of longevity flowers should avoid strong light, and the cuttings should not be fertilized after cutting under the condition of scattered light.

6. the longevity flower cuttings are cut and live, and they can take root in about a week. After new axillary buds and leaves grow, they can be transplanted.

The above is the longevity flower cutting propagation content sharing, there are breeding longevity flower friends can try cutting propagation, oh, hope to be helpful to everyone.
