Cutting Propagation of Holland Iron

Cutting time

Dutch iron can be propagated by cutting, and cutting can generally be carried out throughout the growing season, but spring and autumn are the best cutting time. Cutting propagation can be combined with Dutch iron pruning.

Select Huanghe

Dutch iron needs to choose appropriate cuttings when cutting. Generally, cut off the branches around 10cm--30cm and put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry. After the wounds of Dutch iron dry, they can be planted in clean river sand. Generally, they can take root in about a month.

Note that the incision should be disinfected and covered with about 2/3 places of sand when inserted on the sand bed.

Cuttage maintenance

After Dutch iron cuttage, reasonable maintenance is needed, and the temperature needs to be kept between 20 ℃-30 ℃, which is beneficial to root growth. In the early stage of cutting, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight and maintain a relatively high air humidity.

The above is the introduction of Dutch iron culture methods and cutting propagation methods. If you want to know more about Dutch iron, please pay attention to the four Seasons Plant Network!

Culture method soil of Dutch iron

Dutch iron pot cultivation can use the same amount of garden soil, rotten leaf soil and river sand as culture soil. Dutch iron has strong adaptability and lax requirements on soil, but the slightly acidic soil with loose, fertile and good drainage is the best. It can be cultivated by mixed cultivation of loam with high humus content under pine and cypress forest and river sand, or by mixed cultivation of rotten leaf soil and river sand.

Humidity

Keep the basin soil moist during the growing season to avoid excessive watering, causing stagnant water and rotting the roots and stems. In the growing season, it is necessary to maintain a certain air humidity, such as when the temperature is 20 ℃, the humidity is about 50%, when the temperature is about 30 ℃, the humidity needs to be adjusted to about 70% in order to maintain a good growth momentum.

Fertilizer application

It is full of vitality and does not have high requirements for fertilizer. It is enough to apply liquid fertilizer 3 Mel twice a month during the peak growth period.

Light

Dutch iron growth requires plenty of sunlight, except for proper shade in hot summer, other seasons can grow in full sunlight.

Disease prevention and cure

Dutch iron is very prone to leaf spot disease under the condition of high temperature and high humidity. when it is tough, the leaf edge of the tip shows black-brown spots, and when it is serious, it spreads to most of the leaves, so it should be controlled in time, and 800ml 1000 times chlorothalonil should be used.

The above is about the culture method of Dutch iron, let's take a look at the cutting propagation of Dutch iron.

The propagation method of Dutch iron the method of cutting is commonly used in Dutch iron, which can be carried out throughout the growing season, but it is better in spring and autumn. Cut the 30cm buds of 10ml when cutting. After the wound is slightly dried, the base is stained with yellow mud, and the cuttings are cut in the clean river sand, which can take root in about a month. You can also intercept 30-40 cm long stem segments, disinfect the wound with fungicides, dip the wound with yellow mud, lie on the sand bed, cover with sand 1x2mur2hands 3, and sprout the outstanding stem segments; or seal the top of the stem segments with paraffin and insert them into the sand bed to make the upper hidden buds germinate one after another. Cut the cuttings when the buds grow to more than 10 cm.
