Reproduction of winter corals

Sowing seeds

The sowing of winter coral usually takes place from March to June every year. We first collect the winter coral seeds that mature in winter and prepare them for rinsing and drying before sowing. We can also buy processed winter coral seeds on the market and sow them directly.

The specific operation of sowing is: first sow the seeds of winter coral evenly in the configured basin soil, and then cover with a thin layer of soil, and then pour water, and then as long as you wait a week, the winter coral can germinate. at this time, you can split the seedlings and transplant. When sowing, it can be covered with thin soil and then covered with a layer of plastic film to protect moisture and promote the germination of winter coral seeds.

Cuttage

The cuttage of winter coral can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn. Cutting propagation in the growing period of summer and winter coral will greatly improve the survival rate of winter coral. The advantage of cutting in autumn is that the lovely appearance of winter coral can be seen in the winter of the same year.

The specific method of cutting is to first trim off a winter coral terminal branch, which is about 8 to 10 centimeters long, remove the top buds, then insert the trimmed branches into the soil, and then keep the soil moist at a temperature of 18 to 28 ℃.

And regularly spray water mist on the buds and leaves at the top of the branch, and after about ten days, the cutting winter coral can survive.

Talked about the two breeding methods of winter coral, so how to make winter coral more beautiful? Come and take a look at the matters needing attention when cultivating winter coral with the editor.

Methods of propagation of winter corals Winter corals are perennial woody plants of the genus Solanaceae. Alias: coral cherry, Jiqing fruit, coral son, coral bean, jade coral, red coral, wild spicy eggplant, wild sea pepper, look at cherry. Winter coral likes sunshine, warm and sunny environment, the suitable temperature for growth is 18-25 ℃; it is not tolerant to drought, avoid stagnant water, and is afraid of waterlogging. The soil is required to be loose and fertile, good drainage, rich in phosphate fertilizer to make the fruit for a long time, potted plants to pick the heart to promote more branches and flowers and fruits. Propagation method: sowing or cutting propagation. The sowing time is from March to April in spring, and cutting propagation can be carried out in both spring and autumn. Sowing method. The mature seeds harvested in winter are rinsed and dried, and then sowed before the Qingming Festival in the following year. A small amount of propagation can be carried out in flowerpots. The seeds are evenly scattered on top, covered with a thin layer of soil, and then soaked in water basins. In order to keep moist, the flower pot mouth should be covered with glass or plastic film, so that it can sprout in a week or so, and when new leaves grow, the seedlings can be transplanted. If you want to raise a large number of seedlings, you can sow seeds in a nursery bed, spray water with a fine-hole spray pot after planting, dry and spray later, keep it moist, apply a thin fertilizer after transplanting, and put it in a place with sufficient light. Cutting method. When cutting, cut (or sparsely cut) about 8-10 cm growing branches with terminal buds (if there are buds to remove them), cut according to the conventional method, keep the seedbed or basin soil moist, regularly spray water mist on the terminal buds and top leaves of the cuttings, and the temperature is between 18-28 ℃, about 10 days will survive. If the roots of cutting seedlings are well developed and the plants are low, it is suitable to be cultivated into small potted flowers. After cutting in autumn, you can enjoy the red fruits in winter. Introduction to the propagation methods and matters needing attention of winter coral

Winter coral

The balcony new favorite winter coral is also called Jiqing fruit, four seasons fruit, coral bean and so on. Its fruit is very similar to cherry except for its color, and it is very similar to small tomato except for its shape. When the plant is short, it can bear whole flower branches during the harvest season. It is suitable for potted plants, and the breeding method is also very simple. Below, we will talk in detail about the breeding methods and matters needing attention of the next winter coral.

1. Growth habits of winter corals

Especially found in the field side, roadside, jungle or ditch edge, 1350-2800 meters above sea level is common, 600m area also has distribution.

Winter corals like sunshine, warmth and high temperature resistance, and there is no sunburn above 35 ℃. Not resistant to shade, cold, drought, hot summer afraid of rain, waterlogging. It is not strict with the soil, but it grows vigorously on the slightly acidic or neutral soil with loose fertility and good drainage. It's very cute. Not cold-resistant, pot plants in the north need to go to the greenhouse to survive the winter.

2. What are the breeding methods of winter coral

Winter coral usually propagates by cutting and sowing. Cutting propagation is suitable for spring and autumn, and the sowing time is from March to April in spring.

1. Sowing method

The mature seeds harvested in winter are rinsed and dried, and then sowed before the Qingming Festival in the following year. A small amount of propagation can be carried out in flowerpots. The seeds are evenly scattered on top, covered with a thin layer of soil, and then soaked in water basins. In order to keep moist, the flower pot mouth should be covered with glass or plastic film, so that it can sprout in a week or so, and when new leaves grow, the seedlings can be transplanted. If you want to raise a large number of seedlings, you can sow seeds in a nursery bed, spray water with a fine-hole spray pot after planting, dry and spray later, keep it moist, apply a thin fertilizer after transplanting, and put it in a place with sufficient light.

two。 Cutting method

When cutting, cut (or sparsely cut) about 8-10 cm growing branches with terminal buds (if there are buds to remove them), cut according to the conventional method, keep the seedbed or basin soil moist, regularly spray water mist on the terminal buds and top leaves of the cuttings, and the temperature is between 18-28 ℃, about 10 days will survive. If the roots of cutting seedlings are well developed and the plants are low, it is suitable to be cultivated into small potted flowers. After cutting in autumn, you can enjoy the red fruits in winter.

III. Disease control of matters needing attention in the reproduction of winter coral

Potted winter corals are easy to suffer from anthracnose when they are at high temperature in summer, which mainly harms leaves as well as stems. There are two symptoms: one occurs on time slices, the leaves show round disease spots at the initial stage of the disease, from round reddish brown to grayish white, and then turn dark brown and produce black spots arranged in wheels, that is, the conidium disk of the pathogen, the disease occurs at the leaf edge and leaf tip, and when the leaf is serious, the leaves wither and die. The pathogen is fungal disease, the pathogen overwinters with mycelium in parasitic remains or soil, the old leaves begin to occur from late April to early May, the disease is faster from June to July, the disease is more serious in the rainy season, and the new leaves begin to occur in August. If the potted flowers are placed too densely, the leaves cross each other and it is easy to spread the disease, but there are differences in disease resistance among varieties.

IV. Prevention and control methods

1. Excellent varieties with disease resistance were selected.

1. In the early stage of the disease, cut off the diseased leaves and burn them in time to prevent the spread of bacteria, avoid being too dense and drenched at the head, and often maintain ventilation and light transmission.

4. Spray 50% carbendazim wettable powder 700-800 times or 75% chlorothalonil 500 times at the initial stage of the disease.

5. Pest control: winter coral pests are mainly aphids, small, green or black, often clustered on a variety of flower shoots and leaves to suck nutrients.

6. Prevention and treatment: spray with 2000 times of omethoate EC or 1500-2000 times of dichlorvos EC.

The main reason for putting the disease control of winter coral into reproductive precautions is that how can a good winter coral be produced without a healthy plant? Therefore, no matter sowing or cutting, we should choose a good substrate.
