Summary of breeding methods of Bauhinia

Bauhinia plants have graceful posture, unique shape and bright colors. They are often found in courtyards, parks and sidewalks. They are excellent ornamental trees. Bauhinia can also be used as a potted plant, in addition, the medicinal value of Bauhinia is also very high, so do you know its breeding method? Wrong breeding methods can easily lead to plant death, the following editor for everyone to popularize the Bauhinia breeding method.

Reproduction method

The main propagation methods of Bauhinia are sowing, plant division, striping, cutting and grafting.

Sowing and reproduction

After the fruit is ripe from September to October, the pods are collected, the seeds are collected, stored and stored in a dry and cool place to survive the winter, and the seeds are soaked in warm water from March to April in spring. The seeds are soaked in warm water before sowing, so that the seeds sprout in an environment of 15 degrees after water absorption and sprinkle with warm water once or twice a day. When the outer skin of the seed is white, it can be sowed to the seedling bed, and the seedlings can emerge after half a month. When the seedlings grow 3-4 leaves, they can be transplanted. The transplanting soil needs to be loose and fertile, and the drainage is good.

Ramet propagation

The root system of Bauhinia is well developed and it is easy to produce tillers. The lateral roots connected by tillering seedlings and mother plants are separated before germination in spring or autumn and planted separately, which is easy to survive. Autumn plants need to protect the separated lateral roots for overwintering and will be planted in spring next year. Generally, they can blossom after two years.

Striping propagation

Striping propagation is the best in the spring growing season, select strong branches, peel off a section of bark, about 1-3cm, expose xylem under bark, apply diluted rooting powder to 2-3cm above bark stripping, wrap the engraved area with plastic film for air drying, fill it with soil, and tie both sides of the film tightly after watering.

Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is carried out in the summer growing season, cutting the growing twigs, selecting loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil, and cutting the shoots into the sandy soil, which is generally suitable for family breeding.

Grafting propagation

Grafting propagation is carried out in the summer growing season, because Bauhinia is not cold-resistant, so grafting propagation is not suitable for the northern region. Cutting off the current year's twigs as cuttings, buds or branches of Canadian red-leaf bauhinia can be used as scions. Scions require pure varieties, exuberant growth, and disease-free plants, and more sunny branches should be selected. after the scion is collected, the leaves should be cut off in time to begin grafting. If the grafting is hot and dry, it should be watered once one or two days in advance, which can improve the survival rate of grafting. Check whether the grafted plant survived after about 20 days, and contact it in time if not.

The above is the introduction of several common breeding methods of Bauhinia. Bauhinia prefers a humid environment and should be watered in time after planting to keep the soil moist, fond of fertilizer and sparse branches and leaves.
