The propagation method of pomegranate flower can be mastered by cutting and eating melon / selecting cuttings in the coming year.

As a good product of indoor farming, pomegranate flowers are raised by many flower friends, and it is definitely a beautiful scenery on the balcony. If relatives and friends want to raise them when they see them, it's time to test everyone. Do you know how to reproduce pomegranate flowers? Generally speaking, there are three propagation methods of pomegranate flowers, cutting, ramet and striping, and we only need to master cutting propagation, come in and learn!

I. Propagation methods of pomegranate flowers, cutting / ramet / striping

Pomegranate is not only delicious, but also very good-looking, whether it is planting pomegranate trees or pomegranate potted plants are loved by many people. And if you want to pot pomegranate flowers, it is necessary to master their propagation methods, it is understood that ramet and striping we briefly talk about, the following will focus on the cutting propagation methods of pomegranate flowers.

(1) cutting methods of pomegranate flowers.

Is there anything missing from the balcony at home? Don't think about it, the editor recommends you choose to cut a pot of pomegranate, enjoy the flowers and eat fruit, it is really beautiful. Next, let's take a look at the cutting method of pomegranate!

① cutting time

As long as the temperature is suitable, cutting can be carried out in the four seasons. But if the pomegranate flower has a high survival rate and grows fast, it is best to choose spring (late March) or autumn (October-November). Comparatively speaking, autumn is better than spring, because there are more nutrients in autumn branches, low temperature and water is not easy to evaporate, which is conducive to rooting, but autumn planting time can not be too early, premature strips are easy to freeze to death.

② cuttings selection

In the cutting method of pomegranate flower, the more headache is the choice of cuttings. The reason for this is that if you choose softwood cuttings, its survival rate is high, but the fruit time will be very long; but if you choose exuberant branches as cuttings, it is not easy to take root, and the result will be very late.

So to sum up, family cutting pomegranate flower had better choose more than 3 years of branches, after cutting, blossom and bear fruit earlier, and it is not easy to grow up, it is just right to put it at home. The diameter of cuttings is generally about 0.5-1 cm and the length is 15-30 cm.

③ cutting method

After completing the above two steps, you can officially start cutting. the specific operations are as follows:

1. Plant the soil in the flowerpot, then pour it thoroughly with water and set it aside.

2. Trim the selected cuttings, cut the section into a horseshoe, and cut off part of the leaves so as not to consume too much nutrients.

3. Insert the cuttings into the basin, cover them with a plastic bag to moisturize, and put them in a half-shaded place.

It will take root and grow tender leaves in a month or so. When 5-6 leaves are grown, they can be dug up and replanted! Next, you just need to follow the cultivation method of pomegranate flowers step by step, so that your pomegranate flowers will eventually become a beautiful little bonsai.

(2) striping propagation

Striping is one of the propagation methods of pomegranate flowers, which makes use of the characteristics of the root system to produce root tillers, press the sprouting strips in the soil in spring and form seedlings in autumn.

(3) ramet propagation

It can be carried out when the early spring bud is just sprouting, and the stronger root tillering seedlings occurring in the roots of the superior varieties can be selected and dug out with roots and planted separately. It is more suitable for ramet in spring in production, and it can be planted after division.

The breeding method of pomegranate flower, the editor introduced here, after reading the full text, we should have mastered almost! Generally speaking, pomegranate flower has strong vitality, so its breeding method is not difficult, as long as we try boldly, we will basically succeed. So, are you still waiting up there? Hurry up to breed and raise a pot, the effect is very good.

Production methods and daily maintenance and management points of pomegranate bonsai

Pomegranate, also known as Shanliye, Danruo, Ruomu, Jinpang, Tulin, Tianjia, etc., is a deciduous tree or shrub of the pomegranate family. Chinese traditional culture regards pomegranate as a mascot and a symbol of many children and blessings. It has a very high cultivation value, which is not only able to enjoy flowers, but also eat fruit, so it is deeply loved by people. Let's take a look at the cultivation techniques of pomegranate bonsai.

Growth habits of pomegranate bonsai

Pomegranate is native to Iran and its neighboring areas. It is cultivated in temperate and tropical zones all over the world. It is born in mountains with an altitude of 300 to 1000 meters. It likes a warm and sunny environment, is resistant to drought and cold, is also tolerant to barren, not tolerant, waterlogging and shading, and is not strict with the soil, but it is suitable for cultivation with sandy soil with good drainage.

Pile management of pomegranate bonsai

Pomegranate production bonsai mostly choose small pomegranate tree species with low plant state, small leaves and small flowers and fruits, such as fire pomegranate, four seasons pomegranate, agate pomegranate and so on. The seedlings obtained by sowing method and cutting method can be planted on the ground for more than 3 years before cutting and accumulating branches to cultivate small and medium-sized bonsai. If you want to make large bonsai, you can dig tree stumps in the mountains or buy old potted pomegranates in the market.

Branch storage management of pomegranate bonsai

According to the shape of the tree, the pomegranate should truncate the trunk at the appropriate height of the trunk and truncate the main branch, which can be made into a variety of styles, such as straight dry type, oblique dry type, curved dry type, etc., some ancient pile pomegranate bonsai, the trunk is composed of two pieces of bark with xylem, and there is fruit on the branches at the top of each bark. Pomegranate trees have a certain degree of cold resistance, a little protection in the leeward to the sun, in order to make the trees grow fast, it is better to plant them on the ground. Pomegranate trees like fertilizer. In addition to applying basic fertilizer when planting, pomegranate trees apply rotten and thin organic fertilizer every half a month during the peak growth period of spring and summer. The growth rate is relatively fast, and when the thickness of the branch reaches about 70% of the ideal thickness, the branch is cut short to promote the growth and development of lateral branches.

Forming management of pomegranate bonsai

After several years of branch cultivation and pruning, pomegranate stumps are planted in ornamental bowls of suitable size and style in early spring when they basically meet the requirements of design composition. Straight and oblique dry pomegranates can be planted in oval medium depth or shallower pots, and curved dry pomegranates can be planted in square medium depth pots. At this stage of cultivation, it is still necessary to apply more fertilizer to promote tree growth and better shape. On the other hand, we should also take into account the need for appreciation.

Maintenance technology of pomegranate bonsai

1. Plastic surgery: pomegranate trees have strong sprouting power and grow new branches several times a year. In general, strong new branches growing in spring can form fruiting mother branches. in the following spring, the terminal buds or axillary buds from these branches produce short new branches that often blossom, among which the flowers with terminal buds are the most likely to set fruit. Buds that grow in summer and autumn should be removed in time. Bonsai plastic surgery is often carried out before sprouting in spring, cutting off overgrown, over-dense and weak branches, and pay attention to preserving those strong fruiting mother branches.

2. Fertilization: pomegranate trees prefer fertilizer than ordinary flowers and trees, put more fermented hoof or cake fertilizer at the bottom of the basin when turning the basin, and fertilize with more phosphorus when fertilizing in the peak growth period of spring and summer.

3. Environment: the period from late April to early June is the budding period of pomegranate. There should be sufficient light and less watering to make the basin soil dry. When the new leaves on the branches wilt slightly, put the pomegranate tree in the shade for 30 minutes, and then pour enough water into the basin. Repeat this several times, and buds will appear in about 20 days.

4. Fruit thinning: after the pomegranate fruit is in prison, the pomegranate fruit that does not need too much fruit should be cut off, and a medium-sized pomegranate bonsai should have 3 or 5 fruits. The distribution of fruits should be scattered, sparse and dense, and can not be equidistant. If there are too many fruits, in addition to being disorganized, it will also affect the results of next year.

Daily management of pomegranate bonsai

1. Sunshine: the pomegranate likes the sun, and it can shine all day without shade all the year round. Put it in a ventilated and sunny place and you don't have to move frequently.

2. Watering: pomegranates like to be dry and should not be watered too much. Watering during flowering should be careful not to water flowers. If water seeps into the ovary, it will cause pedicel rot and drop flowers and fruits. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent Rain Water from infiltrating in rainy days and watering during pollination.

3. Fertilization: pomegranate likes fertilizer, and fully mature base fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer can be applied when changing pots, preferably bone meal, with high phosphorus content and long fertilizer period. Usually apply once every 10 days or half a month, do not apply raw fertilizer. In the flowering period or about to set fruit can not be fertilized, which is the key to pomegranate fruit, if the fertility is too sufficient, the flower is easy to fall, the fruit is difficult to bear.

4. Cold protection: pomegranate is not cold-resistant. The pomegranate will blossom and bear fruit in the coming year if it is frozen, so it is necessary to do a good job in the thermal insulation management of the pomegranate in winter.

5. branch thinning: pomegranate has a strong germinating power, and the germinating branches should be thinned in time, and the branches and leaves should be often trimmed, the tree shape should be maintained, ventilation and light should be strengthened, and if there are too many results, they should be thinned in time to ensure nutrient supply and blossom and fruit in the coming year.

Pomegranate bonsai disease and pest control

1. Pomegranate dry rot

[symptoms] it harms the fruit and also infects the branches. the young fruit is generally infected with a light brown spot around the calyx tube, which gradually expands until the whole fruit is rotten, and the disease spot is easy to occur under the leaves from July to September, and the dehydration turns into a brown stiff fruit after the disease occurs. The storage period can cause the fruit to rot and produce dense black spots on the fruit surface. The branches are killed, the bark becomes dark brown and dry, and there are dense small black spots on it. The junction between the disease and health is often cracked, and the diseased skin is warped up, resulting in peeling off, the diseased branches are weak, the leaves turn yellow, and the upper part dies quickly.

[control] ① should strengthen cultivation management and improve the disease resistance of trees. ② clean orchard, winter combined with pruning to remove diseased branches, rotten fruit and so on. In summer, the diseased fruit should be removed, buried or burned at any time. ③ should pay attention to protect the tree from freezing or injury. ④ fruit bagging. ⑤ scrapes off the disease spot and buries the disease spot deeply, and smears it to protect it, such as Fumei arsenic. ⑥ spray stone sulfur mixture in early spring, Bordeaux liquid and carbendazim were used alternately from May to August, spraying once every 15 to 20 days, the effect was better.

2. Pomegranate brown spot

[symptoms] after infection, the leaves showed small black-brown spots at the beginning and nearly round after expansion, with black to black-brown edges, slightly convex and grayish brown in the middle. The symptoms on the back of the leaf are the same as those on the front. The disease spot on the fruit is nearly round or irregular, black is slightly concave, and there are also gray fluffy grain spots. The outer edge of the disease spot is yellowish white after fruit coloring.

[control] ① should strengthen cultivation management, reasonable pruning and enhance tree potential. ② clean the orchard and burn or bury the fallen leaves and fruits in the orchard after falling leaves. ③ chemical control with 140x equal volume Bordeaux solution or 80% ultra-fine carbendazim 0.125-0.17% solution, spraying once at the initial stage of the disease, the control effect can reach more than 80%, and the effect is better if sprayed three times in a row.

3. Peach borer

[symptoms] the eggs were mainly laid in the pomegranate calyx tube, and most of the newly hatched larvae ate or drilled into the fruit in the calyx tube or double fruit or sticking to the leaves. The larvae have the characteristics of turning to the main harm. After maturing, the larvae often form cocoons in the damaged fruits or between the fruits and in the cracks in the bark, and pupate in the cocoons.

[prevention] ① scraped the bark and blocked the tree hole in early spring. ② plug the calyx tube with 10 grams of soil and 10 kilograms of water, and plug the calyx tube into a mud mass wall, which can effectively prevent the harm of larvae, and the period of validity is 70-80 days. ③ has a strong taxis to sunflower disk by using peach borer to lay eggs. Some sunflowers can be planted around the orchard to induce adults to lay eggs and spray regularly. 0.1% solution of 50% fenitrothasone emulsion was sprayed during the occurrence of adult ④, and the insecticidal rate was more than 90% 5 days after application in the field. Spraying 50% phoxim or 90% trichlorfon 0.1% solution twice during the incubation period of the first generation eggs and larvae has a good effect.

4. Spodoptera litura

[symptoms] the larvae can eat harmful buds and leaves. The body color of the larva is similar to that of the bark and is not easy to be found. it is quiet during the day and feeds at night, and the mature larvae pupate and Eclosion at the intersection of the tree trunk. At the end of September, the mature larvae went down to the tree, pupated in the soil near the trunk and overwintered, the generations overlapped, and the adults sucked fruit juice.

[control] after falling leaves to before sprouting, overwintering pupae were dug around the trunk of ①. Spraying 90% trichlorfon 0.15% solution and 50% phoxim EC 0.2% solution during the occurrence of ② larvae can be effectively controlled.

5. Spodoptera litura

[symptoms] there were two generations a year, and the mature larvae overwintered in the cocoon and began to pupate in late May of the following year. The first generation of adults occurred from mid-July to late August. The second generation larvae began to harm at the end of July, and the damage was the most serious in the first and middle August. The newly hatched larvae concentrated on the back of the leaves, gradually dispersed after growing up, and ate all the leaves, leaving only the petiole.

[control] ① in winter combined with winter scissors, cut off insect cocoons. During the period of concentrated damage to the larvae, ② inspected the orchard and picked the leaves to kill the larvae. Spraying 90% trichlorfon and 50% dichlorvos 0.15% solution during the occurrence period of ③ larvae had good control effect.

6. Tortoise wax scale

[symptoms] in one generation, the fertilized female adults overwintered on the branchlets, and the damage began in March and April of the following year. The wheat harvest period was the peak spawning period, and the larvae began to feed in late June and secrete wax to form a shell. The first hatching worm has strong vitality and can be transmitted over a long distance by the wind. The insect began to differentiate in late July, and male and female adults appeared in September. After mating, the male died, the female continued to harm, and entered the overwintering state in November.

[control] during the overwintering period of ①, the bark was artificially scraped and the insect tips were cut off and 5% diesel emulsion could be sprayed. ② can spray 5 °stone sulfur mixture once in early spring. ③ summer egg incubation period spray 50% wettable carbaryl 0.17% solution.

7. Scale insects

The last instar nymphs overwintered on the cortical cracks, old skin and fruit stalks of 2-year-old branches, and began to harm in April of the second year. With the growth of nymphs, wax quilts gradually formed and differentiated into male and female. In the first ten days of May, the back of the female adult rises and lays eggs in the felt sac. The nymph incubation period is from the end of May to the beginning of June, mid-late July, late August to early September. At the beginning of October, the nymph began to overwinter. It is mainly spread by seedlings and cuttings.

[control] ① can be brushed from top to bottom on the branches of seriously damaged orchards with a hard brush stained with internal insecticides, and the effect is better. The stinging period of ② overwintering nymphs in early spring is the key period for chemical control. The best control effect is 3 °5 °stone sulfur mixture and 0.3% washing powder, and the control effect is more than 95%.

Maintenance and management of potted flowers in autumn

With the change of autumn time and seasons, the ambient temperature is gradually changing. Autumn is a crucial growing season for potted flowers. Of course, how to protect potted flowers in autumn is also something that flower growers often study and hate. Autumn climate changes from hot summer to cool gradually, when everything begins to wither, and potted flowers should be maintained more carefully. Therefore, at this time, potted flower management should pay attention to the following management work. The following editor is here to comprehensively introduce the methods of conservation and management of potted flowers in autumn.

First, three timely maintenance of flowers in autumn

1. Lighting: light timely part of the summer flowering Xiguang woody flowers, such as jasmine, Fusang, Jiuli incense, etc., should still be placed in a sunny place. Flowering rhododendron, magnolia, cyclamen, poinsettia, crab claw orchid and other potted flowers before and after the Spring Festival should also be placed in sunny places.

two。 Pruning: pruning timely except for flowers that bloom in early spring, most flowers such as jasmine, crape myrtle and pomegranate can be pruned and shaped in autumn, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients in winter and increase the number of potted flowers in the following year.

3. Breeding: when the autumn temperature is low, some biennial flowers, such as pansy, carnation, melon and leaf chrysanthemum, hollyhock, etc., are good time to sow. Pay attention to spraying water after sowing to keep the soil moist. There are some woody flowers suitable for cutting in autumn, such as rose, geranium, jasmine, etc., with a higher survival rate in autumn. Perennial root flowers that need ramets for dense growth, such as peony and peony, should be propagated in time. Flowers that bloom before and after the Spring Festival, such as hyacinth, tulips, Zhu Dinghong, etc., should be put on the pot as soon as possible. Cao Qidong

Second, how to manage potted flowers in autumn

1. Appropriate amount of water and fertilizer: after autumn, water and fertilizer management should be treated differently according to the habits of different flowers. For autumn chrysanthemum, sweet-scented osmanthus, camellia, rhododendron, wax plum, etc., which bloom once a year, liquid fertilizer dominated by phosphate fertilizer should be applied 2 or 3 times in time, otherwise not only the flowers will be small, but also the buds will fall. For the rose, Milan and jasmine which bloom many times a year, we should continue to provide more sufficient water and fertilizer to promote its continuous flowering. For most flowers, after Cold Dew Festival in the north, there is generally no more fertilization to facilitate overwintering. With the decrease of air temperature, except for the flowers flowering in autumn, winter or early spring and those sown in autumn, which can continue to be watered normally according to the actual needs of each kind of flowers, the watering times and amount of water for other flowers should be gradually reduced to avoid excessive water and fertilizer and cause excessive growth. affect flower bud differentiation and suffer frost injury.

two。 Pruning and plastic surgery: when the temperature is about 20 ℃ after autumn, most flowers are easy to sprout more twigs. Except for keeping some of them as needed, the rest should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption. The retained twigs should also be plucked in time. For chrysanthemum, dahlia, rose, jasmine and so on, when the buds grow to a certain size after budding in autumn, the lateral buds are removed except for a large bud with good growth at the top.

3. Timely seed harvesting: the seeds of many flowers mature one after another before and after mid-autumn and need to be harvested in time. A bunch of red, pineapple, morning glory and other seeds are dried after harvest and stored in a cloth bag in a low-temperature ventilated place. For some seeds with thick seed coat, such as peony, peony, magnolia, Michelia, etc., the seeds should be buried in wet sand and stored in stratified sand after harvest.

4. Suitable time for sowing: biennial or perennial grass flowers cultivated in one or two years, such as goldfish grass, carnation, daisy and greenhouse flowers such as melon and leaf chrysanthemum, cyclamen, tree tree, etc., as well as African chrysanthemum, swallows, primroses, begonias and other flowers that are easy to lose their ability to germinate after harvest.

5. Timely entry: most of the flowers in the northern area after Cold Dew's festival should be moved indoors one after another according to their cold resistance to survive the winter in order to avoid cold damage. The specific time to enter the room varies from time to time. For most flowers, don't rush into the house as soon as the weather has just changed. Because entering the house too early affects the accumulation of nutrients, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the coming year. Therefore, under the premise of not suffering from cold injury, it is better to enter the room a little later.
