Learn this trick to turn your gardenia into ten easily.

Gardenia has been famous for a long time, we must have heard of the good name of gardenia, so, how much do you know about the breeding methods of gardenia?

Today, let's learn more about the breeding method of gardenia.

Preliminary preparation of Water insertion method for Gardenia jasminoides breeding

A large-caliber container in a wide-mouth bottle; foam board; clean water; a well-growing gardenia.

Water insertion step

① cut the branches of Gardenia jasminoides, which are about 10cm in length and free from diseases and insect pests, and only 2-3 leaves can be retained. If the branches flow out of juice, it is better to leave the branches in a cool place to dry.

If ② uses a jar and other containers, then insert the prepared branches into the container, and the leaves should be exposed to the outside of the bottle. In addition, the water in the bottle should be changed every 1-2 days. Keeping the water quality clean can increase the survival rate.

③ is placed in a place with good warm light, ventilation and no direct sunlight, and the innermost part of the balcony is very nice.

After keeping ④ for one or two months, we can see that it has two or three long white roots. At this time, take out the branches, bury them in flowerpots, and water and fertilize gardenia according to the normal method of cultivating gardenia.

⑤ if the water insertion method is carried out in water tanks, ponds and other places, then we should first punch holes in the prepared foam board according to a certain line spacing and plant spacing, and then insert our prepared branches into the holes one by one.

At the same time, we should also ensure that the water quality is clean. If the roots grow to 3cm, they can be transplanted into the flowerpot.

Some suggestions on Water interpolation

When inserting water, you can insert a few more branches to prevent the death of branches. ~ the probability of success will be higher. In addition, water insertion should be done when it is not cold in spring.

Preliminary preparation of pressing method for propagation of Gardenia jasminoides

A 3-year-old mother plant Gardenia jasminoides with good growth; a flowerpot ready for transplanting and a fertile, loose, well-drained acidic soil.

Striping step

① selects robust branches, preferably branches with a length of 25cm to 30cm. If the selected branches have trigeminal branches, they can be pressed at the fork, and three seedlings can be obtained at a time after propagation.

② bends down the lower pole of the selected branch of the mother plant, then buries it into the soil, and the branch tip is exposed and fixed with a bamboo pole to make it grow upright. Generally, it can take root after 20 to 30 days, separate from the mother plant in June, and ramet can be carried out in the spring of the next year, or it can be put on the basin directly.

Preliminary preparation for sowing and propagation of gardenia

① seed selection: select full, crimson ripe fruit, shell or dry as seeds, before sowing, cut the seed pericarp with scissors, dig out the seeds, rub them in hot water, remove floating seeds or impurities, then fish out the sunken full seeds, spread them on the bamboo mat, put them in a ventilated place to dry too much moisture, and then sow the seeds.

② site selection: select the deep, loose and fertile sandy loam and tidy it up.

Sowing step

① is mostly carried out in spring, which is suitable for plant growth and germination. Or sow seeds before and after the Autumn Equinox in autumn.

② will prepare the seeds mixed with fire ash, then evenly sowed on the soil, then covered with fine soil or fire soil, and finally covered with water, always keep the soil moist during the growing period of the seeds to facilitate seedling emergence.

③ gardenia emerged about 20 days after sowing. After emergence, the cover grass was removed, and 2-3 true leaf time seedlings grew in the seedling to keep the growth of weeds in the container.

④ topdressing was carried out 2 or 3 times in the first year, one time in spring, summer and autumn in the second year, and one time in spring, summer, autumn and winter in spring. From autumn sowing to the end of autumn and early winter, the seedlings can be planted when the height of the seedlings is above 30cm, and those sown in spring can be planted when the seedlings reach 30cm in the next spring.

Selection of cutting time for propagation of Gardenia jasminoides

In the north, it can be cut in the greenhouse from October to November, and from April to the Beginning of Autumn in the south, but the survival rate is the highest between summer and autumn.

Cutting steps

① cuttings choose healthy 2-year-old branches with a length of 10-12 cm, cut off the lower leaves and cut the lower end to a 45-degree angle slope.

② is tied up in small bundles every 20 to 30 strips, and the bevel scissors are immersed in 0.05% rooting powder solution or 0.05% naphthalene acetic acid solution for 15 seconds, and the liquid can be dried.

③ inserted the prepared branches in the sand, row spacing 20~25cm, plant spacing 7~8cm, inserted the cuttings bevel into the soil at 2 and 3 places, compacted and watered, and set up a low shading shed for shade.

④ can take root in about 15 days under the condition of 80% relative humidity and 20-24 ℃. After the seedlings take root, you can transplant the seedlings into the flowerpot!

Preliminary preparation for propagation of gardenia jasminoides

Around the rhizosphere of Gardenia jasminoides often grow a lot of young plants, so what we need is a pot of strong gardenia flowers that have already grown seedlings.

Ramet step

① selects plants with strong growth in early spring or late autumn and early winter every year.

② planed the topsoil around, carefully observed the tiller seedlings and checked its trend. According to the natural extension interval of the roots, the seedlings were separated from the mother roots by hand or knife from the gap, and then separated as seedlings for planting.
