Sowing and Cuttage Propagation of Colored Leaf Grass

The leaves of colored leaf grass are very beautiful, so some people call it the change of old age, the leaf color of colored leaf grass is bright, the variety is diverse. The difficulty of artificial propagation is not high, and the method of sowing and cutting can be used to propagate it.

Coloured leaf grass

First, sowing seeds

Sowing and raising seedlings of Colored Leaf Grass can produce plants with rich changes in leaf color. When the conditions are suitable, the seeds can be sowed at any time throughout the year. Open fields in South China are often sown in 3mura-April, and most of them are sown in greenhouses in the north from February to March. Spring sowing in the north is sown in greenhouse, sowed with loose bed soil, sifted the bed soil, loaded with human sowing bed or seedling tray, slightly compacted and scraped flat, watered with spray pot, sown seeds about 20 grams per square meter, mixed with fine sand and sowed, the ground temperature was controlled at about 20 ℃ after searching fine soil, and the seeds emerged in 15 days. After emergence, the temperature dropped to 16 MULTHI / MULI 181. After the true leaves grow, divide the seedlings and cultivate them into seedlings in containers. The daytime temperature during the seedling stage was controlled at 18.201. Watering should be appropriate, and the seedling bed should not be too wet. When the seedling grows to a height of 6ml / 10cm, it should be planted in a pot, and cultivated in the open field until the temperature is warmer and stable. Gradually cool down and refine seedlings 5-7 days before planting. The water control at the seedling stage should be moderate so as not to make the leaves lose water and wither and prevent the excessive growth of seedlings and the occurrence of diseases.

Second, cuttage

Color leaf grass is prone to adventitious roots, and some varieties have poor fruiting, so they can only use the method of cutting propagation to raise seedlings. Cutting seedling raising can be carried out in four seasons, especially in spring and autumn. Cut the upper part of the branch 5-7 cm as cuttings and cut off the leaves. Put it into frogstone, perlite or other substrates and keep it under the condition of 15 ℃ and 20 min, 5 Mel can take root in 7 days. Water plug can also be used. After taking root, it is transplanted into the basin.

The Cuttage Propagation method of Colored Leaf Grass how to sow

Coloured leaf grass is a kind of ornamental plant with leaves, its leaves are generally red and green, and some varieties will have different forms, which is very beautiful. Colourful leaf grass is very popular with consumers at present, and many people want to plant it. But before planting, you need to know its planting technology.

The Cuttage Propagation method of Colored Leaf Grass

1. Time. The propagation methods of colourful leaf grass are sowing and cutting, of which the cutting propagation method is the simplest. It can be carried out all year round, except for low temperature in winter and full rooting, the temperature in spring and summer is suitable, which is the best cutting season.

2. Branches. Colourful leaf grass is a perennial herb, but it is cultivated one more year in the family. It is very suitable for the propagation of terminal bud cuttings. Select 3-5 nodes with terminal buds. Stem nodes 5 to 10 cm in length are used as cuttings. After cutting, the local leaves are trimmed to avoid the failure of cuttings caused by the water loss of too many branches. Usually, all the leaves in the lower part of the branch should be cut off, and it is enough to keep the upper leaves.

3. Methods. The color leaf grass grows rapidly, and the robust branches can be cut in the flowerpot with a diameter of 7.5 cm. After the cutting is successful, it can be maintained directly in the flowerpot. If the space in the home is larger and the environment is suitable, it can be cut in a larger flowerpot.

How to sow colourful leaf grass

The main results are as follows: 1. Coloured leaf grass can be sown by pot sowing in all seasons. First of all, it is usually carried out when it is warm in March. It can be mixed well with mature humic soil and plain sandy soil, and then put into the seedling basin.

2. Soak the seedling basin containing fine sand in water, then sow the seeds according to the sowing method of small seeds, cover the thin soil, and then cover it with a glass plate or plastic film.

3. During this period, the basin soil should be kept moist and watered reasonably. After a period of time, it will take root and sprout and grow into seedlings, and then separate seedlings and transplant them.

How to water colourful leaf grass

1. In the period of rapid growth of the plant, water should be replenished in time to prevent the surrounding environment from being too dry. Under normal circumstances, when the basin soil turns white in spring and autumn, and the weight of the tile basin becomes lighter obviously, it can replenish enough water. But not too much, or the plants will grow too high.

2. In summer, because the leaf area of the plant is relatively large, so the evaporation is also large, so it is necessary to irrigate enough water. Otherwise, the plants will wilt. But watering during this period should first put the plants in the shade, so that the temperature of the tile basin is lower before watering (so that the roots of the plants will not be hurt by the difference in temperature), and should be watered thoroughly. In winter, the amount and frequency of watering must be strictly regulated, and you can choose to water once every two to three days.

How to fertilize colourful leaf grass

1. Apply sufficient base fertilizer. When planting colourful leaf grass, we usually choose to plant it in the soil mixed with 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 2 parts of garden soil and 1 part of rice chaff ash. Many people will ignore the application of base fertilizer, and most of them are purchased directly from the potted plants on the market. The seller has already prepared the soil and applied the base fertilizer. So when you get home, you can just take care of it. But if you re-change the basin or something, you must pay attention to adding some organic fertilizer and bone powder to the basin soil as base fertilizer. In addition, an appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer can be added to the basin soil to promote the bright leaf surface.

2. Fertilization method. Topdressing colourful leaf grass in time, topdressing in the process of maintenance, and applying compound fertilizer once a month during the peak growing season. In addition, fertilization can appropriately increase the proportion of phosphate fertilizer, at the same time, color grass should also avoid excessive nitrogen, otherwise the leaf surface is dim. After each heart is removed, cake fertilizer or human feces and urine should be applied once. After autumn, the temperature is suitable, the growth is accelerated, light fertilizer should be applied frequently, and 0.1% urea can be added for foliar spraying if necessary. Rarefied liquid fertilizer can be applied 3 times in the whole year.

3. Avoid too much and less. Colourful leaf grass likes fertilizer, but it can not be fertilized too much, if watering and fertilizing too much, it is easy to cause overgrowth of plants, slender leaves, long branches, long internodes and sparse leaves, which greatly reduces the ornamental value.

The most common method of color leaf grass is cutting propagation, and its method is also very simple, first choose an appropriate time, and then propagate. If you want colourful leaf grass to grow well, of course, fertilizer and water are indispensable. Timely watering and fertilization can make it grow better.

How to propagate Colored Leaf Grass A complete Collection of Reproductive methods of Colored Leaf Grass

Colored leaf grass is an excellent ornamental leaf flower, because of different varieties, colored leaf grass has yellow, red, purple, orange, green and other color markings, which is a good material for decorating the living room and study. Then how does colourful leaf grass reproduce? What are the conditions for reproduction? Let's take a look next.

I. Propagation methods of Colored Leaf Grass

1. Sowing and propagation: early spring can be propagated in an indoor space of about 18 ℃ in March, and fine sandy soil is the best. Seedlings can emerge 7-8 days after sowing, and when the seedlings grow to 4-5 pairs of leaves, they can be planted in pots. There are often various variations in the leaf color of the seedlings, so starting from the seedlings, we should pay attention to select the plants with rich and colorful leaves to cultivate, and eliminate the seedlings with dull and monotonous leaves in time. Colored leaf grass needs to pick the heart many times in the seedling stage to promote more branches, so as to facilitate the plant to be moderately tall, plump and colorful after molding.

2. Cutting propagation: except that it is not easy to take root in the high temperature season from July to August, it can be carried out in other seasons, especially from May to June. Branches 5 cm long and 10 cm long were cut from the upper part of the branches of the robust mother plant, each containing a colorful leaf and 2 leaf buds, which were inserted into plain sandy soil and were dense and uniform. Then put the basin in a cool and ventilated place, spray more water, keep the basin soil moist, and take root in about 20 days. After 1 month, the cuttings can be planted separately.

3. Water cutting propagation: the cutting container can be a jar or a mineral water bottle. When the main branch or the side branch that passes through the heart has 4 nodes or about 10 cm in length, select the thick stem, leaving only 1 to 2 opposite leaves at the base. Cut off the upper part, the cut should be smooth, there is no wound of extrusion and tear. Then, cut off the lowermost pair of leaves of the cuttings, concentrate on the base of every 3 to 5 cuttings, bundle them together with white thread pine, and wait for water insertion. Generally, it is best to insert cuttings into water from 3 cm to 4 cm from the mouth of the bottle. After that, put it in the scattered light place, pay attention to change the clear water (reserve water storage) every 2 to 3 days, and pay attention to make up for the falling water level in the bottle due to evaporation every day. Generally, under the condition of 18 ℃ to 25 ℃, white root can be seen in 7 to 10 days.

II. Propagation conditions of Colored Leaf Grass

1. Water: like to be moist, water should be fully watered in summer, otherwise it is easy to wilt. And often spray water to the leaves to maintain a certain degree of air humidity.

2. Fertilizer: apply more phosphate fertilizer to keep the leaf surface bright. Do not apply too much nitrogen, otherwise the leaf surface will be dim.

3. Soil: the soil is required to be loose and fertile, and the general garden soil is OK.

4. Temperature: like warmth, strong cold tolerance, suitable temperature for growth is 15-25 ℃, overwintering temperature is about 10 ℃, freezing injury is easy to occur when it drops to 5 ℃.

5. Light: like the sun, but avoid the scorching sun.

Quenching disease is easy to occur in seedling stage, so attention should be paid to the disinfection of sowing soil. Leaf spot disease is harmful during the growing period, so spray it with 50% topiramine wettable powder 500 times. In indoor cultivation, shell insects, red spiders and whitefly are easy to occur, which can be controlled by 1000 times of omethoate EC.

The above is the introduction of the breeding methods and conditions of Colored Leaf Grass. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to breed Colored Leaf Grass.
