Cutting carnation in winter and spring

Published: 2024-11-22 Author: mysheen
Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Carnation is generally propagated by cuttage, which is carried out in winter and spring and can be carried out from December to April of the following year. At this time, the lateral buds used as cuttings grow strongly and have the best quality. At the same time, cutting during this period can control the flowering of plants in the second year New Year's Day and the Spring Festival. First of all, the culture soil should be prepared, and the garden soil should be mixed with 30%-40% rice bran ash or sandy soil. after mixing evenly, it should be put into a basin or wooden box. The cuttings should be carried out in the greenhouse, and the cuttings should be selected from the mother plants with strong growth, neat flowering and thick nodes and short branches.

First of all, the culture soil should be prepared, and the garden soil should be mixed with 30%-40% rice bran ash or sandy soil. after mixing evenly, it should be put into a basin or wooden box.

The cuttings should be carried out in the greenhouse, and the cuttings should be selected from the mother plants with strong growth, neat flowering and thick nodes and short branches. Select short and thick lateral buds in the middle of strong branches, with a length of 3 to 4 centimeters. The "break picking method" should be adopted when picking cuttings, that is, taking the trunk of the main branch in one hand and selecting the buds in the other as the buds of the cuttings, peeling off the old leaves and buds at the same time, so that the base is complete and with node marks, and then soak the cuttings in water or spray water in the peeling place to make them absorb enough water and leave them for cutting.

The depth of cuttage should be 1 / 3 / 2 of the length of cuttings. Pour water after insertion and keep the temperature at 10 ℃ ~ 15%. Nursery bed maintenance should be fine, water again the next day after insertion, if the leaf wilting phenomenon, can be sprayed on the leaf surface several times, so that the soil slightly moist, but not too wet. At the beginning of the insertion, it is generally necessary to shade the sun in a clear day to avoid strong light, which is generally shaded for about 2 weeks. The cuttings can take root in about 30-45 days, and generally can be transplanted after one month of seedling survival.

If the cuttings are cut after March, the selected cuttings can be slightly longer. Due to the gradual increase in temperature, large temperature difference between day and night, and high humidity, it is necessary to set up a frame to shade the sun for about 3 weeks, and pay attention to ventilation to prevent seedlings from suffering from diseases and insect pests.
