Introduction to the common propagation methods of Brocade flower

Brocade is native to China, Korea and Japan. It has strong adaptability, tolerance to semi-shade and drought, and low temperature of-15 ℃ in winter, so it is very popular. Some flower friends in their own brocade flowers grow to a certain extent will want to do their own reproduction, the editor has sorted out several common breeding methods for you, interested friends can understand together.

Brocade flower

1. Ramet: before sprouting in early spring. The rooted tillering branches at the base of the mother plant can be planted directly.

2. Cuttage: from June to July. Cut the semi-woody twigs, grow 15cm to 20cm, insert them into the sand bed, and take root about 40 days after insertion. It can also be cut with mature 1-year-old branches after falling leaves, and the survival rate is high.

3. Strip pressing: it is carried out in June, and the earth pressing method can be used. It can be separated from the mother plant in the autumn of that year and planted separately.

4. Sowing: the seeds are small and not easy to harvest, which are mainly used for breeding. Generally, seedlings can blossom in 3 years.

The transplanting of seedlings with brocade flowers should be carried out after falling leaves in autumn and winter or before sprouting in spring. As flower buds are mainly planted on 1-2-year-old branches, special attention should be paid to early spring pruning, usually only withered branches and weak branches are cut off. Renewed pruning was carried out once in 2 ~ 3 years to cut off the old branches for more than 3 years to promote the growth of new branches. If there is no seed, the inflorescence is removed after flowering, which is beneficial to the growth of branches. The seedlings can be fertilized with base fertilizer before planting and fertilized for 1 to 2 times during the growing period.

The propagation method of brocade flower the method of cuttage, ramet and striping is commonly used. It is easy to cultivate, grows rapidly, has few diseases and insect pests, and blossoms on 1-2-year-old branches, so it is only necessary to cut off withered branches and old and weak branches in early spring, pruning once every 2-3 years to promote new branches. If a mature compost is applied before flowering in early spring, it can bloom luxuriantly year after year. [cuttage]: the semi-lignified branches of the same year can be cut off in summer as cuttings, cut into half of the soil, then watered thoroughly, and then often keep the soil moist. Softwood cuttings can be used in the rainy season, and the survival rate is also high. Hardwood cuttings or softwood cuttings can be used in spring March or plum rain season, cutting cuttings into 15 cm in length, cuttings in a seedbed with shade after disinfection, or 1-year-old branches cut in the open field after defoliation are easy to survive. [crimping]: crimping can be carried out all year round, usually under the lower branch selected after flowering. The lower branches of Brocade are easy to be creeping, which are pressed into the soil in the growing season and propagated by pressing, and it is easy to take root and survive at the nodes. Ramet: ramet is carried out in early spring, autumn and winter. Most of them are combined with transplanting before and after germination in spring, and the whole plant is dug up, divided into several clusters, and then planted separately. Cut one-year-old mature branches in the open field from February to March in spring, or semi-lignified twigs in June to July in the shade. The strips can be pressed in June. Transplanting seedlings need to take shelter soil in spring and autumn, and soil balls in summer. After planting, the rotten compost was applied every early spring, and the senescent branches were trimmed. [sowing]: it will be carried out in the first and middle of April. After sowing, the method of irrigation should be used. Do not use a spray can to spray water on the soil so as not to flush the seeds out of the soil. The seedlings emerged about 15 days after sowing. However, the sowing method is used for a long time, and generally a small amount of reproduction does not use this method. Culture management of Weigela florida (Bunge) A. DC.) shrubs, 3 m high and 3 m wide, with spreading branches, cylindrical shape, some branches bend to the ground, branchlets thin, with 2 rows of pilose when young. Leaves elliptic or ovate-elliptic, end acute, base rounded to cuneate, margin serrate, surface veins hairy, abaxially especially dense. Corolla funnelform-campanulate, rose-red, lobes 5. Capsule columnar; seeds wingless. The florescence is from April to June. Brocade belt flowers with dense branches and leaves, colorful flowers, flowering period can be as long as more than a month, in the garden application is the main early spring shrub in North China. It is suitable for group planting in the corner of courtyard wall and lakeside; it can also be used as flower hedge and cluster planting on the edge of trees and forests; embellished in rockery and sloping land.

The method of breeding. The culture of Brocade flower can be cultivated by cutting, ramet and striping, and the cutting method is the most commonly used. 1. Cuttage culture. Softwood cuttings are usually carried out from June to July in summer. Select the sturdy semi-lignified branches of that year, cut them into 15cm cuttings, remove the lower leaves, leave the upper 2-3 leaves, insert the fine sand, vermiculite or peat seedbed that has been renovated and irrigated with water, and build a curtain for shade, buckle film, shade, heat preservation, moisturizing, and generally take root in more than 20 days after insertion. Hardwood cuttings can also be carried out in spring and March, and the survival rate is also very high. Cuttings can blossom in 2 ~ 3 years. two。 Ramet culture. It is often carried out before the sprouting of early spring. The new branches germinated in the rhizosphere were dug up with roots and planted separately, and every 4 to 5 branches were divided into 1 plant, and the bare roots were planted in the courtyard with deep soil layer and no low-lying waterlogging area. It can also be combined with transplanting, dig out the whole plant, and then plant it separately. 3. Strip culture. Most of the lower branches of the brocade flower plant are creeping, so the branches can be pressed into the soil in the first ten days of June, the nodes are very easy to take root, and the next spring is separated from the mother plant and planted separately. Cultivation and management. Planting brocade flowers should choose places with plenty of sunshine and good drainage, and the planting time is generally after falling leaves in autumn and before sprouting in spring. In the planting hole, the mature compost with 2 shovels and 3 shovels was applied as the base fertilizer, and no more fertilizer was applied, but in order to make the flowers bloom and flourish, the ditches could be dug around the plants after falling leaves in autumn. You can generally stop topdressing during the growing season. Brocade flower has strong adaptability and simple daily management. it should not be watered too much at ordinary times. in the dry season of spring, summer and autumn, it can be watered once or twice. Watering in case of drought, drainage in case of rain, anti-freezing water after fertilization in autumn to prevent air-drying and striping. The flower buds of brocade flowers are mainly planted on 1-2-year-old branches, so it is necessary to cut off old branches, weak branches and withered branches in early spring in March to reduce nutrient consumption and promote the formation of flower buds. For 3-year-old branches, they should be completely sprouted from their bases to promote the growth of new branches. Update and trim every 2 to 3 years. If the seeds are not harvested, the remnant inflorescences should be picked in time after flowering to promote the growth of branches. It can be renewed and pruned every 2-3 years to cut off more than 3-year-old branches and promote new branches. Pot seedlings with fertilized soil with an inner diameter of 13 cm to 20 cm tube basin, shaping and pruning to keep the new branches symmetrically plump, winter into the greenhouse for maintenance, the Spring Festival is full of flowers.
