How do hibiscus reproduce?

Hibiscus is a deciduous shrub plant of Malvaceae, and it is a very common flower species in courtyard gardens in China. Its ornamental value is very high, has a strong dust retention function, is also a major green plant, and hibiscus flower is rich in protein, vitamin C and a variety of amino acids, nutritional value is very. When we plant hibiscus flowers, how to reproduce is a more important issue, so the editor today brought you the breeding methods of hibiscus flowers, let's have a look!

1. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is generally carried out in spring every year, and can also be carried out in autumn and winter. The branches of hibiscus have strong rooting ability and high survival rate. During shaping and pruning, we can cut off the strong branches within two years from the growth of the mother plant, and then cut the branches into small segments of about 11 centimeters. After preparation, the cutting substrate should be soft enough, strong permeability and normal drainage and irrigation, mainly sandy soil. Then poke the cuttage hole before cutting, cut the base of the cuttings into an oblique mouth, the top is smooth and vertically inserted into the substrate. After cutting, the cuttings were watered regularly every day, and then the soil was cultivated at the base of the mother plant to promote multiple branches. when the buds grew to about one year, transplanting with soil could effectively improve the survival rate.

2. Sowing and reproduction

We should first harvest the seeds of hibiscus in autumn, store the seeds after drying, and then sow them in the spring of the following year. Because the seed germination ability of hibiscus is relatively weak, it can not be sowed at random, and seed soaking and germination should be done well before sowing. And to prepare the seedling bed, seedling bed soil preparation is similar to the cutting substrate, to ensure that there are sufficient nutrients. Then sow the seeds into the matrix soil in spring and cover a layer of fine soil to adjust the temperature and humidity. Under normal management, it will germinate in about 3 weeks, and then do a good job in seedling management and transplant in time.

3. Ramet propagation

Ramet propagation is also a common method of propagation of hibiscus flowers, which is usually carried out in early spring. The adult, strong, pest-free and robust plant should be selected as the mother plant before dividing the plant. Then dig out the mother plant, be careful not to hurt the root of the plant, clean up the root. Then the 2-3 main branches adjacent to the plant were separated from the mother plant as a new plant. When separating, we should also be careful not to hurt the roots of the plant, so as not to affect the subsequent growth of the new and old plants. After separation, the plants can be planted in the prepared soil, and then the seedlings can be managed.

The above is a brief introduction to the breeding methods of hibiscus flower, which is the key to ensure its efficient and continuous planting. When we breed, we should determine our own reproduction methods according to the planting direction, for example, sowing reproduction is suitable for large-scale breeding, while cutting and ramet are suitable for family pot planting.
