Family breeding methods of daisies

The grafting method of daisies requires high technical conditions, and the reproduction process is relatively tedious. Without superb cutting, grafting techniques, selection of improved varieties, artificial pollination and other techniques, it is difficult to reproduce successfully. This method of propagation can only be carried out in the nursery when a large number of seedlings are needed.

Daisies raised in the family can be propagated by sowing, dividing plants and cutting.

Seed propagation of daisy

Sowing time (North-South difference)

Most of the seeds in the south are sown from August to September in autumn. In the north, most of the seeds are sown in spring or in autumn, but daisies are moved into a relatively warm indoor environment in winter.

Covering soil / watering

Sow the seeds with fine sand and cover the fine soil with a thickness of about 0.5 cm. After sowing, cover the sunshade net and water thoroughly. Watering should be sprayed carefully to prevent soil surface hardening.

Daisy watering

Temperature / humidity

Keep the temperature around 28 ℃ after sowing and cover with plastic film when it is cold and rainy in early spring to maintain soil moisture and temperature. About 10 days later, the seedlings are unearthed, remove the sunshade net or plastic film, and transplant them to the field when the seedlings have 2-3 pieces.

Ramet propagation of daisies

Because of the great variation of seedlings, the split-plant method can be used to propagate some excellent varieties, but the growth potential is not as good as that of seedlings, and the fruiting is poor. In the middle and late March, the old stubble chrysanthemum cauliflower can be dug out to expose the root neck, and the lateral buds of the existing roots together with the old roots can be cut off and transplanted into the new basin. Ramet propagation can be carried out when sprouting new shoots.

Daisy cuttings propagation

The cuttings can be propagated throughout the growing season, and the survival rate is the highest from April to June.

It is best to mix new soil with rotten organic fertilizer in the seedbed.

The branches with 3-5 nodes and 8-10 cm in length were cut, and the basal leaves were removed. The depth of penetration was 1 prime 3-1 inch 2 with cuttings long.

Keep the soil moist after planting, avoid waterlogging and shade in high temperature season.
