How to reproduce carnations the method of inserting carnations

How do carnations reproduce? This is a question that friends who love to grow carnations always ask. After all, success in planting a plant that you like most lies in the sense of satisfaction and success. There are many propagation methods of carnations, among which the insertion method is the most commonly used. Therefore, this paper gives a brief introduction to the method of carnation insertion.

Generally speaking, the insertion of carnations can be carried out from December to April of the following year, especially from January to February, when the lateral buds used for cuttings grow strongly and have the best quality; at the same time, this period of time can control the flowering of plants in the following year New Year's Day and the Spring Festival. The survival rate in March was also higher, but the growth after that was not as good as that from January to February. 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.

1. First of all, the culture soil should be prepared. Generally, the garden soil should be mixed with 30% to 40% rice bran ash or sandy soil. After mixing evenly, it should be put into a pot or wooden box.

2. Selection of cuttings. Select pest-free, robust growth, close internodes of the plant, and have 3murmur4 pairs of unfolded leaves, 1 pair of unexpanded leaves, population cuttings with flower bud rate less than 10%.

3. When picking cuttings, the "breaking picking method" should be adopted at the same time, that is, taking the trunk of the main branch in one hand and the buds selected as cuttings in the other, peeling off the old leaves and buds at the same time, making the base complete and with node marks, soaking the cuttings in water or spraying water in the peeling place, so that they can absorb enough water and leave them to be cut in.

4. The depth of the cuttings should be 1 beat 3 to 1 prime 2 of the length of the cuttings. Pour water after insertion and keep the temperature from 10 ℃ to 15 ℃. Nursery bed maintenance should be fine, water again the next day after insertion, if the leaf has a soft phenomenon, can be sprayed on the leaf surface several times, the soil is slightly moist, but not too wet.

5, when inserting for the first time, it is generally necessary to shade the sun in a clear day to avoid strong light, which can be shaded for about 2 weeks. Cuttings can take root in about 30 to 45 days, and generally can be transplanted after one month of seedling survival.

6. 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 short branches with thick nodes. Select short and thick lateral buds in the middle of strong branches and grow 3 to 4 cm long.

In order to succeed in the propagation of carnations, we must first choose the time of planting, and then choose strong plants, which is the most basic condition. Of course, cultivating soil is also very important.
