The Propagation method of Dryopteris

Ramet

Ramet is the most commonly used method of reproduction, every spring April-May combined with changing the basin, the rhizome will be longitudinally cut into several parts, 2-3 nodes into a cluster, with roots and leaves, respectively planted. Tuber propagation is to cut off the tuber with a part of the stolon, transplant it in loose and permeable soil, or sow the tuber directly, and soon new plants can grow. For stolon propagation, the stolon can be fixed on the soil surface with iron wire and cut off from the mother plant after the new plant is grown.

Sowing seeds

The spores were sown artificially, and the mixed substrate made of loose, permeable and clean peat and brick chips was used as the sowing medium. The matrix was sterilized at high temperature to kill weed seeds and germs. After disinfection, put the matrix into a clean sowing shallow basin, slightly compacted and leveled. During sowing, the leaves with mature spores were cut, the spores were concentrated on white paper, and the spores were evenly sprayed in a shallow basin with a dusting bag, without covering the soil, covered with glass, dried regularly from the bottom of the basin, kept moist at room temperature for 20-25 ℃, and germinated for about a month. After 2-3 months of culture, the true leaf, namely sporophyte, grew from the prothallus. When the sporophyte has 3-4 leaves, it is planted separately.

After you understand the breeding and breeding methods of kidney fern, do you think it is not so difficult to raise kidney fern? Interested friends, hurry up to raise a pot! For more information, please follow the four Seasons Plant Network!

The culture method of kidney fern the optimum temperature for the growth of kidney fern

During the day, the optimum temperature for kidney fern growth is generally 24 to 26 degrees Celsius. Care should be taken to avoid direct sunlight, but it can be placed in bright places with scattered light. At night, the optimum temperature for kidney fern to grow is fifteen to 21 degrees Celsius.

Humidity requirements for the growth of kidney fern

Although kidney ferns are drought-tolerant plants among ferns, they should not be exposed to drought for a long time, so in times of drought, they should be properly watered or sprayed to keep their growing environment moist. Of course, it should not be overwatered, if it is a rainstorm or waterlogging season, it should be placed in indoor breeding.

The Pot and Plant of Dryopteris

The growth rate of kidney fern is faster, basically after a year of growth, it will be divided into pots. The best time to divide the basin is in spring, when the injured root is easy to heal, and the split can be carried out at the same time, thus turning the original basin into two or more pots.

The above is about the introduction of kidney fern culture methods, let's take a look at the breeding methods of kidney ferns!

The Propagation method of Dryopteris

The method of ramet breeding of Dryopteris

Ramet propagation is the most commonly used propagation method of kidney fern, the ramet season can be year-round, but generally in spring, kidney fern split pot, which is simple and easy. Split the plant in the basin when the temperature is stable in spring, knock out the mother branch of the kidney fern from the basin, take two or three strong and tender branches and plant them in the basin, and place them in a cool place for maintenance.

The method of spore reproduction of Dryopteris

All ferns can be propagated by spore reproduction, and so can kidney ferns. Spread the collected mature spores evenly in the substrate (requiring the substrate to be loose, ventilated and rich in nutrients, such as rotten leaf soil, peat soil, or a mixture of both), then gently cover the substrate above and pour enough water. just leave it in a cool place for maintenance.

Tissue propagation of kidney fern

Tissue reproduction is generally not commonly used because of the high requirements of the environment, the need for multiple sterilization and disinfection, and to ensure that the growing environment is sterile. In the step of reproduction, the explants are first taken, such as the tip of the rhizome, spores and so on. Then cut the tip of the stolon and soak it in alcohol for half a minute, then sterilize it with mercuric chloride for six minutes, and finally rinse it with sterile water for many times before inoculation. It should be inoculated on a hormone-free medium, and seedlings will be born about two months after inoculation. finally, the new seedlings should be planted and maintained in a cool place.
