Propagation methods of tequila

Most species of tequila only blossom once in their lives, and after flowering, the mature plants gradually die with the seeds, and some precious varieties are difficult to blossom, so the methods of ramet, cuttage and sowing are often used in production. Let's take a look!

Ramet propagation method

Ramet propagation is mostly carried out in the growing season, which can be combined with changing pots in spring. The seedlings that germinated at the base of the old plant were removed, and the seedlings with roots were planted in the pot directly, and they could survive without roots.

Cutting propagation method

Cutting propagation is mostly carried out in the growing season. The young buds germinated in the axils of the leaves are removed and dried for 5-7 days. After the wound is dry, it is planted into the culture soil with good drainage and air permeability, which is easy to take root and survive.

Sowing and propagation method

If the seeds can be collected, they can also be sowed and propagated, and the seedling management is not difficult. The optimum temperature for seed germination is above 15 ℃ at night and about 30 ℃ during the day. If the temperature at night is lower than 10 ℃ and the temperature during the day is lower than 20 ℃, the germination rate of seeds will be greatly reduced and even can not germinate. After sowing, the basin should be covered with transparent glass for heat preservation and moisturizing, and seedlings can emerge 7-10 days after sowing.
