Grafting and breeding of safflower Bauhinia

The flower pattern of safflower Bauhinia is very similar to that of butterflies, and it is also the bauhinia flower of Hong Kong. Because safflower Bauhinia is not easy to seed, asexual reproduction is often used for reproduction. The more common propagation method is grafting, so how should safflower Bauhinia be grafted and propagated?

Bauhinia flower

Bauhinia safflower is generally propagated by grafting, with Bauhinia as rootstock and Bauhinia safflower as scion for grafting, while high-altitude striping uses safflower Bauhinia as mother plant for "ring grafting", but mass reproduction is limited.

Safflower Bauhinia mainly uses cuttings for pot propagation. Every year before and after Ching Ming Festival, the branches of safflower Bauhinia are cut into cuttings about 20 cm long, and the substrate is sterilized half a month before cutting. Shading with straw, often watering and strengthening management, the new buds germinated and survived for more than a month.

Transplant into the pot in May, place it in the shade first, and gradually transfer it to a sunny place for normal maintenance. Apply compound fertilizer. The topping and dwarfing treatment was carried out according to the different growth of potted flowers, in order to prevent overgrowth, promote its shade side branches, do a good job of shaping and pruning, and keep the crown shape beautiful and impressive.

In August and September, squatting seedlings should be controlled by water and fertilizer, so that the branches are short and the leaves are small, which is beneficial to flower bud differentiation. It cannot be pruned after October, otherwise it will affect the blooming of flowers. The safflower Bauhinia planted in November blossoms one after another, and the flowering period is as long as three months.

Culture and propagation methods of safflower Bauhinia

Safflower Bauhinia is a beautiful ornamental plant with large color, fragrant smell and good ornamental effect, so it is widely cultivated all over the world. Then how to raise safflower Bauhinia? What are the methods of reproduction? Let's get to know each other.

1. Culture method of safflower Bauhinia

Safflower Bauhinia likes warm and humid climate, likes the sun, and grows well in acid sandy loam with good drainage. Safflower Bauhinia is very popular in Lingnan. Bauhinia safflower is generally cultured by grafting, with Bauhinia as rootstock and Bauhinia safflower as scion for grafting, while high-altitude striping uses safflower Bauhinia as mother plant for "ring grafting", but a large number of culture is limited.

Mainly using cuttings for pot culture, every year before and after Ching Ming Festival, safflower Bauhinia branches, cut into about 20 cm long cuttings, cutting, matrix disinfection and sterilization half a month before cutting. Shading with straw, often watering and strengthening management, the new buds germinated and survived for more than a month. Transplant into the pot in May, place it in the shade first, and gradually transfer it to a sunny place for normal maintenance. Apply compound fertilizer. The topping and dwarfing treatment was carried out according to the different growth of potted flowers, in order to prevent overgrowth, promote its shade side branches, do a good job of shaping and pruning, and keep the crown shape beautiful and impressive.

In August and September, squatting seedlings should be controlled by water and fertilizer, so that the branches are short and the leaves are small, which is beneficial to flower bud differentiation. It cannot be pruned after October, otherwise it will affect the blooming of flowers. The safflower Bauhinia planted in November blossoms one after another, and the flowering period is as long as three months. Safflower Bauhinia wood can be used as agricultural tools, leaves can be used as fodder, flower buds can be eaten; bark also has medicinal value, for scald, abscess detergent, but the underground root bark is highly toxic.

2. Propagation methods of safflower Bauhinia

1. Cutting propagation: from March to April, select annual strong branches to grow 10 cm-12 cm, with 3-4 nodes, cut off the lower leaves of the cuttings, leaving only the top two leaves into the sand bed. Spray water in time after insertion and cover with plastic film. Under the condition of 18 ℃ to 25 ℃, calli could grow in about 10 days, and rooting and sprouting in about 50 days. After surviving for about 1 year, the seedlings can reach about 1 meter and will be transplanted in the nursery in the following spring.

2. Grafting propagation: Bauhinia latifolia, Bauhinia baihua and Bauhinia Qiongdao were used as rootstocks for high budding. The period of grafting takes place before the seedlings sprout from April to May in spring or from August to September in autumn.

The above is the safflower Bauhinia culture methods and safflower Bauhinia breeding methods, want to raise safflower Bauhinia friends might as well understand, hope to help you.

The difference between Bauhinia and Bauhinia

Bauhinia bisexual, rarely unisexual, forming racemose, corymbose, panicles. Bauhinia, also known as Lingjia flower, can be divided into Bauhinia, safflower Bauhinia, palace powder Bauhinia and Bauhinia baihua. Then Xiaoqi shared the culture method of Bauhinia and the difference between Bauhinia and Bauhinia.

1. Bauhinia culture method

Bauhinia trees like sunshine and warmth, greenhouse environment, and are not resistant to cold. For the soil, which requires fertile and well-drained sandy soil, Bauhinia has a strong ability of natural regeneration and can reproduce by itself. It can be cultivated in open field in all parts of South China. When the seedlings are moved into nutrition bags in time, or planted at a certain distance, this can improve the survival rate of Bauhinia trees.

The cultivation and transplanting time of Bauhinia is also very fastidious, which should be carried out in early spring from February to March. The greenhouse in north-central China should be potted, the Bauhinia tree should be given sufficient water in spring and summer, and the wettability should also be high, so that the Bauhinia tree can survive better. But avoid direct sunlight when it is hot in summer and a little dry in winter. Bauhinia trees need to be fertilized during the growing period, liquid fertilizer is the best, 1-2 times is good. The lowest temperature in winter should be kept above 5 degrees Celsius.

After the Bauhinia tree is planted, don't forget to take care of it. Although the Bauhinia tree needs extensive management, it still needs to be managed regularly if it wants to be beautiful. If the Bauhinia tree is too long, the posts should be righted in time, and the young trees should be pruned and shaped. Most of the seeds are undeveloped, and the propagation should be carried out by cutting or striping and grafting, and the cutting should be carried out in summer and autumn. Spray an appropriate amount of insecticide when there are insect pests.

2. The difference between Bauhinia and Bauhinia

Bauhinia, also known as safflower Bauhinia, Bauhinia, safflower Bauhinia, is a medium evergreen tree of the family hematoxylaceae. The leaves are round, broadly ovate or kidney-shaped, but the tip is split into two halves, like Bauhinia, so it has this name. Between winter and spring, the flowers are as big as palms, slightly fragrant, and the five petals are evenly arranged in whorls, red or pink, very beautiful. Bauhinia is evergreen all the year round and is quite resistant to smoke and dust, so it is especially suitable for street trees; its bark contains tannins, which can be used as tanning materials and dyes; roots, bark and flowers can also be used as medicine.

The best Bauhinia tree flower is called Bauhinia. Gongfen Bauhinia tree flower is not the Hong Kong city flower-Bauhinia, the correct data is that they all belong to the genus Bauhinia. Bauhinia has a wide variety of plants. The leaf ends of all species are split into two. The leaves are veined at the bottom of the leaves, and the leaves are broad-heart-shaped or round, similar to sheep's hooves. The Bauhinia flower is not spiral-shaped, while the bauhinia flower is slightly spiral-shaped.

Safflower Bauhinia pictures

The flower color of Bauhinia is the most beautiful, five petals are deep purplish red, five stamens, flowering from November to March of the following year; safflower Bauhinia has five light pink petals with more wrinkles at the apex, stamens three to four, florescence from September to November; palace pink Bauhinia has five pink petals, one of which has crimson stripes, flowering from March to May. Bauhinia Bauhinia has five white petals, one of which has yellow-green stripes and five stamens, flowering from March to May.

The above is the breeding method of Bauhinia and the difference between Bauhinia and Bauhinia. I hope it will be helpful to you.
