The ramet propagation of hollyhock was mainly carried out in spring and autumn. We dug out the perennial tufted roots and divided them into 3 buds per clump, and then planted them.

Cuttage propagation

Hollyhock cuttage propagation should be in early September, select the plant base 7 murine 8 cm long buds, cut down in the basin and placed in the semi-shade tube, after three weeks to take root, the same year can be planted in the open field, can also be moved into the indoor winter.

Propagation methods of hollyhock

Propagation method of hollyhock: sowing method

After the seeds are mature in August and September, they can be sown and blossom the following year. If they are sown in spring, it is not easy to blossom in that year. In the south, seeds are often sown in autumn, while in the north, they are mainly sown in spring.

According to the number of seeds, you can choose to sow in the open field seedbed, and then transplant, or sow directly in the soil, no longer transplant, the soil generally choose rotten leaf soil, field soil, before sowing to disinfect the soil to control the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

Under normal circumstances, it can germinate in 7 days and transplant when 2 Mel 3 leaves are grown. It is best to transplant in cloudy and rainy days, which is very beneficial to the growth of plants.

The seed germination power of hollyhock can be maintained for 4 years, but the growth of seedlings will decline after two or three years, and the seedlings are easy to be quenched, so the management of seedling bed should be strengthened and drugs can be added to the soil properly.

Propagation method of hollyhock: split plant method

The ramet of hollyhock is usually carried out in autumn. The perennial hollyhock is dug out of the soil and the stem bud is divided into several clumps with a sharp blade to ensure that each clump has two or three buds.

Then respectively planted in the substrate, the matrix generally choose fertile, well-drained sandy soil. Water thoroughly immediately after planting, and it will blossom the following year.

Propagation method of hollyhock: cutting method

Cuttings can be carried out from flowering to winter.

Generally select the side branches that germinate at the base of the old dry hollyhock as cuttings, the length is about 8 cm, and the matrix is generally sandy soil.

After cutting, cover the nursery bed with plastic film, maintain a certain amount of humidity, and place it in the shade until the roots grow.

For cutting in winter, a heating device needs to be laid at the bottom of the seedling bed to increase the ground temperature, maintain the temperature of the seedling bed and accelerate the growth of new roots.

Culture methods of hollyhock

The cultivation and management of hollyhock is relatively simple. When the seedlings grow 2 or 3 true leaves, they should be transplanted once and the row spacing should be enlarged. Watering should be done timely after transplanting. Topdressing should be applied 1 to 2 times before flowering combined with weeding by ploughing and weeding, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is better. After one transplanting, the sowing seedlings can be planted in November. During the seedling growth period, 2 Mel liquid fertilizer was applied for 3 times, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. At the same time, often loosen the soil, weeding, in order to facilitate the growth of plants.

When the flower bud was formed in the axil of hollyhock leaf, the phosphorus and potassium fertilizer was applied once. In order to prolong the flowering period, sufficient moisture should be maintained. Cut off the aboveground part in time after flowering, and new buds can sprout. When potted, it should be potted in early spring and keep the single plant to blossom. As hollyhock seeds are easy to scatter after maturity, they should be harvested in time. After planting 3Mel for 4 years, the plant is easy to senescence. Therefore, it should be updated in time. In addition, hollyhock is easy to cross, in order to maintain the purity of varieties, different varieties should keep a certain distance. Hollyhocks are vulnerable to leaf rollers, aphids and red spiders, and old plants and dry weather are prone to rust, which should be prevented and controlled in time.
