First, how to propagate and cut the keel flower.

Keel flower has a strong effect, if it is kept in the house for a long time, it is conducive to a fresh environment, and it is very easy to grow and survive.

According to the practice of a large number of flower friends, keel flower can be cut all the year round in the case of greenhouse, but if you want to have a higher survival rate of reproduction, it is best to choose cutting in May-September.

2. Cuttings selection

In the cutting method of keel flower, the selection of cuttings is very important, it has been selected, the whole propagation process can be said to be more than half successful. Keel flower cuttings, you can choose more than one-year-old fleshy stem, cut off a section of 5-6 cm or more at the top of the fleshy stem to use as cuttings.

Cutting keel flowers can not do without soil. According to the growth habit of keel flower, vermiculite, pearl powder and pure river sand should be selected when cutting it. Can be single-plant cutting, can also be concentrated cutting multiple plants, but in the centralized cutting should pay attention to the density between plants.

To do the above preparatory work, the cutting method of Dragon Bone Flower enters the most important moment: insert the treated cuttings into the prepared substrate, obliquely cut into the soil, and let them take root. Note that the cutting temperature should not be too high. When the temperature exceeds 35 ℃, cuttings should be stopped to avoid unsuccessful cuttings that lead to rotten roots or death of keel flowers.

5. Plug-in management

After completing the above steps, the whole breeding process comes to an end, followed by maintenance and management: less watering after insertion, no dry and no watering, and it can take root after 30-40 days. When the root of the dragon bone flower grows to 3-4 cm, it can be transplanted to a small pot for maintenance. In general, some of the keel flowers cut in spring will bloom in the winter of that year, and the rest will bloom in the coming year.

two。 Cutting soil

When cutting keel flowers, you should choose vermiculite, pearl powder and pure river sand, without soil. Can be single-plant cutting, but also can be multi-plant centralized cutting. Attention should be paid to the density between plants when concentrated cuttage.

3. The cuttings of the keel flower cut by the cutting method should first be dried in a cool place for a week, and then cut after the incision is fully dried and the wound heals, so that it is easy to take root. Due to the slurry will flow out when the keel flower is cut, it can be sealed with plant ash and put in a cool place for 7 to 10 days. Then insert it into the sand bed or soil, insert it obliquely into the soil, and let it take root. In the keel peanut root period should be as little watering as possible, do not dry do not water, stay for 30 to 40 days, you can take root. When the roots of keel flowers grow to 3 to 4 centimeters, they can be transplanted to small pots or directly planted in the open field.

Pruning method of keel flower

In the process of growth, after pruning and removing the top, it is easy to sprout new branches. When the keel flower grows to a height of 20 cm to 30 cm, cut off the top with a knife and seal the wound of the keel flower with plant ash. After the plant grows branches, only three branches are retained, and the rest are removed and allowed to grow.

When the keel flower grows again, it can be trimmed again to remove the top. When the new branch grows to 25 cm to 30 cm, cut off the top and wait for the branch to grow out, leaving only three branches. The keel flower pruned in this way has more branches, more exuberant plant growth and more beautiful plant type.

Keel flower in pruning can also give play to the top advantage, remove the new weak buds, so that the top fully developed, elongated, so that more flowers can be bloomed.

2. Control plant type

With the growth of the new branches, the old branches are gradually weakened. in order not to age the plants of the dragon bone flower, they should be pruned frequently. Cut off the old branches of the keel flower that do not bloom, or branches that affect the ornamental effect. Keep the plant type of keel flower beautiful.
