Last Updated: 2024/11/22, The golden leaf color of Ligustrum lucidum and its pruning resistance make it widely used in landscaping. In order to rapidly propagate Ligustrum lucidum, it is very important to improve the survival rate of its cutting. now we will introduce our cutting experience for many years for your reference. Using new shoots of two-year-old Ligustrum lucidum, it is best to cut the lignified part into cuttings of about 15 cm, remove all the lower leaves, leave 2 to 3 leaves in the upper part, cut flat 1 cm away from the upper bud, and cut the lower cut obliquely into a horseshoe shape on the back of the bud. The cutting substrate was disinfected with coarse sand and 0.5% potassium permanganate solution.

The golden leaf color of Ligustrum lucidum and its pruning resistance make it widely used in landscaping. In order to rapidly propagate Ligustrum lucidum, it is very important to improve the survival rate of its cutting. now we will introduce our cutting experience for many years for your reference.

Using new shoots of two-year-old Ligustrum lucidum, it is best to cut the lignified part into cuttings of about 15 cm, remove all the lower leaves, leave 2 to 3 leaves in the upper part, cut flat 1 cm away from the upper bud, and cut the lower cut obliquely into a horseshoe shape on the back of the bud. The cutting substrate is disinfected with coarse sand and 0.5% potassium permanganate solution for one day, and then used for cutting. before cutting, a stick thicker than the cuttings is used to punch holes, and after cutting, the cutting density is not in contact with each other, and the distribution is uniform. Spray water through the plastic film, press half of it tightly with soil, press the rest with bricks for spraying water, and then shade with Reed curtains. Spray water twice a day before rooting, 10 ∶ 00 to 11 ∶ 00 in the morning and 13 ∶ 00 to 14 ∶ 00 in the afternoon to cool and moisturize, keep the temperature in the shed 20 ℃ to 30 ℃ and the relative humidity above 95%. Properly ventilated at noon every day, in order to prevent its decay in summer, 800 times carbendazim was sprayed 3 days after insertion, and again 10 days later. About 21 days after insertion, after 2 days of small ventilation, the plastic film can be removed sooner or later, shaded by Reed curtains at noon, pay attention to spraying more water, and all of them can be removed 3 days later. The seedlings can be transplanted in cloudy days or in the evening after 4 to 5 days, and watered once immediately after planting, and again after 3 days, the survival rate can reach 100%, and a small arch shed is needed to overwinter in winter.

It should be paid special attention that the survival rate of cuttings is closely related to the substrate of cutting, the concentration of rooting powder, the degree of Lignification of cuttings and the time of cutting: the rooting rate of coarse sandy soil is higher than that of fine sandy soil, and the rooting rate of cuttings with 1/1000 solution is higher than that of low concentration. The rooting rate of cuttings with Lignification is higher than that of semi-Lignification, and the rooting rate of cuttings in summer is higher than that in autumn.
