Sowing method: it is mostly used in the south. After seed collection, it can be sown indoors at high temperature at the end of autumn or in spring. Sowing seedlings can be used to plant flower beds, fertilizer and water management is proper, and it can blossom in September of that year.

Cutting method: this method is often used in the north. In May, the annual branches of five-colored plum were cut, which were 10-15 cm long, each with 4 buds. Insert into the sandy soil, often keep the soil moist, take root after 40-50 days, and draw new branches at the same time.

How to propagate five-color plum and the method of cutting propagation of five-color plum

Five-color plum is a common flower plant, because five-color plum blossoms, a variety of colors, very charming, so flower friends are very happy to cultivate five-color plum, of course, flower friends hope to cultivate five-color plum through continuous reproduction, a pot becomes more than a pot, the following arrangement of five-color plum seed sowing, pressing, cutting three propagation methods, hoping to help the cultivation of five-color plum flower friends.

Propagation method of Prunus mume

Five-color plum can be propagated by sowing, cutting, striping and other methods.

1. Seed sowing and propagation

The seeds of five-color plum are collected, picked and retted after ripening, soaked in water and scrubbed to remove the pulp, that is, the seeds are obtained. To avoid losing water, seeds can be sowed with picking in autumn, or stored in mixed sand, and sown again in spring. The temperature should be kept above 20C in the germination stage after sowing. The germination rate is about 60%, and the southern sowing seedlings can blossom in autumn more than in May.

2. Cutting propagation method.

In the five-color plum mother plant, one-year-old branches were taken as cuttings, every two nodes were divided into a section, the upper leaves were retained and half of them were cut off, and the lower leaves were inserted into the soil, preserved in the shade and often sprayed with water. After insertion of shade, cover film moisturizing, heat preservation, keep the bed moist and air humidity at 80%-90%, about 1 month can root and sprout new shoots.

3. The method of striping propagation

The plant has many branches and takes root in the soil, so the soft branches are cut and pressed into the soil, and the roots are cut off after the root system grows.

1. First of all, it is necessary to determine the cutting time of five-colored plum. The cutting process of five-color plum is generally completed in the growing season, during this period, the five-color plum cuttings are easier to root and sprout and have good stability.

The next step is to cut the cuttings. One-year-old branches with strong growth should be selected from the mother plant as cuttings. In addition to growing healthily, the selected branches should also be sure to have more than two nodes.

3. After selecting the branches as cuttings, we can use disinfection tools to cut them off from the mother plant. Then prune every two segments as a cuttage.

4. After the cuttings are made, put the prepared sand or vermiculite into the basin (pay attention to maintaining a certain humidity), and then insert the cuttings into the culture soil at certain intervals.

5. After the cuttage is finished, the whole pot with five-color plum branches is placed in a cool place for maintenance and management. at the same time, pay attention to protect the basin soil in a moist state and the air humidity is suitable. After about 1 extra, rooting can be found at the base of the cuttings, and the seedlings can be transplanted in the pot at this time.

6. for the upper pot transplanting of seedlings, the loose and fertile sandy loam rich in humus should be selected for planting. After finishing the pot, do a good job of maintenance and management in time.

7. In the process of maintenance and management, the first thing to do is the management of water and fertilizer, sufficient water and fertilizer can ensure the rapid growth of plants and make the trunk of young plants thicken rapidly.

8. In order to maintain a good plant shape, we need to cut the extra branches at an appropriate time to control the plant height. When the plant grows to the right size, we should shape it in time to ensure that the plant maintains a good ornamental.

How do five-colored plums breed? Cutting Propagation method of Prunus mume

Five-colored plum is a common ornamental shrub in landscaping, which has high ability to resist dust and pollution, luxuriant green trees, beautiful flowers and colors, and high ornamental value. So, how do you reproduce five-colored plums? The propagation methods of five-color plum mainly include sowing, cutting and striping, of which sowing and cutting are the most commonly used. Now the methods of sowing and cutting propagation of five-colored plum are introduced as follows.

1. Sowing and propagation methods of five-colored plum

1. Sowing method: sowing can be sowed in pots with high humidity and temperature at the end of autumn, or in spring. Sowing seedlings in South China can be used to plant flower beds, and flowers can be seen in September of that year. After the fruit is ripe, it is picked and retted, soaked in water and scrubbed to remove the pulp, and the seeds are obtained. To avoid losing water, seeds can be sowed with picking in autumn, or stored in mixed sand, and sown again in spring. The temperature should be kept above 20C in the germination stage after sowing. The germination rate is about 60%, and the seedlings sown in the south can blossom in autumn.

two。 Seed harvesting: after the fruit is ripe, pick and pile it and soak it in water to wash off the pulp, that is, to get the seeds. To avoid losing water, seeds can be sowed with picking in autumn, or stored in mixed sand, and sown again in spring.

2. Cutting propagation methods of five-colored plum.

1. Cutting season: five-color plum resistant to pruning, cutting can be combined with pruning in spring, the best in May.

two。 Cutting operation: one-year-old branches are taken as cuttings, every two sections are divided into one section, the two leaves of the upper section are retained and cut off in half, and the lower section is inserted into the matrix of plain sand or semi-mixed with fully mature humus soil, shading, film moisturizing and heat preservation, keeping the cutter moist and air humidity at 80%-90%, and sprouting roots and shoots in about 1 month. If the seedlings want to plant flower beds in the open field after survival, they should first be planted in a small flowerpot. When the roots of the cuttings grow to the 5cm or so and some of them are brown, they are transplanted into the pot and maintained in the shade for a period of time. After the new roots are developed and enriched, the white roots protrude from the bottom hole, and then take off the pot and plant. Using the method of tender wood cutting, it only takes about 20 days to take root and survive. After rooting and survival, the seedlings should be divided and transplanted as soon as possible to ensure that they can absorb sufficient nutrients as soon as possible, which is beneficial to growth and early flowering.

[conclusion] five-colored plum has strong adaptability and easy reproduction. The above introduces the methods of sowing and cutting propagation of five-colored plum. Let's try it together.
