The propagation method of Moonflower

There are two methods of propagation of moonlight: sowing and transplanting. The main method of reproduction is sowing, which has high survival rate and high feasibility, so as long as it is the breeding of moonlight, people will choose the method of seed sowing. Its specific operation steps can refer to the detailed introduction of moonlight flower reproduction on this site.

I hope the introduction of the above editor will help you to further understand the moonlight flower!

Culture method of moonlight flower

Moonlight flowers, also known as eggplant, Xiyan, Chang'e running to the moon, eggplant, etc., are annual twining herbs of the genus Ipomoea of the family Solanaceae. The white flowers are shaped like the full moon, large and beautiful and bloom at night. They are of high ornamental value and are often used as eye-catching hedgerows. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of moonlight flowers.

The growth habit of moonlight flower

Moonlight is native to tropical and temperate regions of the New World, including South America, Central America, Mexico and Florida. It is widely introduced and cultivated in China. Like the sun is sufficient and warm, not cold-resistant, frost cold is frozen to death, the soil requirements are not strict, in the sunny moist conditions to grow well, large seedlings are not resistant to transplantation.

The Propagation method of Moonflower

Moonlight flowers can be propagated with seeds, collected at the end of autumn, dried and stored, and sown from March to April next year. When sowing in the open field, the seedlings should be transplanted and planted after the true leaves grow. Sowing in the seedling bed in early spring, when the seedlings produce 3-5 true leaves, they can plant flower racks or fences before their climbing growth. In addition, the moonlight vine node is easy to grow adventitious roots, so it can also be cuttage and striping propagation.

Culture method of moonlight flower

1. Soil: the moonlight flower likes the soil environment where the micro-tide is dry, and its growth is exuberant in high temperature in summer, so the supply of water should be ensured at this time.

2. Fertilization: the moonlight flower has a large demand for fertilizer, except for the application of base fertilizer in the planting, the rarefied liquid fertilizer can be applied every 2-3 weeks in the vigorous growth stage.

3. Illumination: moonlight, flowers and flowers should not be exposed to sunlight for less than 4 hours every day.

4. Temperature: the moonlight flower likes to be warm, is not hardy, and grows well in the temperature range of 18-28 ℃.

5. Scaffolding: Moonflower should set up a bracket in time to ensure that the seedlings have something to rely on when they grow up and get on the shelf smoothly.

6. Diseases: moonlight flowers are often harmed by powdery mildew and aphids. If they occur, timely measures should be taken to deal with them.

The Propagation method of Moonflower

Propagation requirements of moonlight flower

Since we want to talk about the breeding methods of moonlight flowers, let's first talk about the breeding requirements of moonlight flowers. after all, only by accurately grasping the characteristics of moonlight flowers and understanding the best state of moonlight flower growth can we greatly improve the survival rate of moonlight flowers.

The requirement of moonlight flower reproduction on soil is not too high, as long as it is not very barren soil, basically can survive, but when moonlight flower reproduction, the requirements for temperature, sunshine and humidity are relatively high. The temperature should be kept above 15 degrees and below 30 degrees as far as possible, and the air humidity should be kept between 50% and 65%.

A Summary of sowing, Propagation and sowing of Moonflower

The main reproduction method of moonlight is sowing and reproduction, which has a high survival rate and high feasibility, so as long as it is reproduction, people will choose the method of seed sowing. Well, next, let's introduce in detail the specific steps of sowing.

Preparation before sowing

Soil and seeds should be prepared before sowing. Although the sowing and reproduction of moonlight flowers do not require much of the soil, it is better to use a more fertile soil. In addition, the soil can also contain some humus and the soil has good drainage and good air permeability. It is best to sterilize the soil before sowing seeds. In addition to removing weed seeds from the soil, hidden eggs can also be removed, and the selected seeds should be uncracked, full and mature seeds.

Sowing process

Evenly select the seeds on the treated and prepared loose and breathable soil, and then gently cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil to protect the seeds. gently press the pot soil with your hands or pour the flowerpot on the ground and pour enough water on the seeds, then put them in a sunny place for breeding. The general situation is to water it every one or two days, so that it can sprout for one to three weeks.
