Key points of propagation of geranium cuttings

For geranium breeding methods are mostly sowing and plug, let's take a look at geranium plug breeding points.

It is well known that geranium is a kind of plant with tenacious vitality. It can perform tenaciously under low temperature and high temperature conditions. However, many flower friends will feel some difficulties in the insertion link. It is easy to appear black rot and gray mold. Especially in summer, the survival rate of high temperature insertion is extremely low. Let me introduce a relatively simple and high survival rate insertion method! My July insertion survival rate is nearly 80%.

The first choice of containers, different seasons choose different containers, must not be too large, I batch inserted to the hole seedling plate as an example, summer with 50 holes more appropriate spring and autumn with 72 holes, winter with 128 holes. The most critical point is to disinfect, the best disinfection method is very simple, wash the container with clean water, put it in the sun for three days, avoid rain midway, flower friends can also choose other containers at home with disinfectant soaking treatment.

The second plug matrix, plug matrix there are many kinds, I use is the simplest and cheapest, peat soil, personal advice to use imported peat, I use in order to save costs is domestic mud, charcoal peat soil into the container compaction, remember to compact the air in the soil must be pressed out! This small day out of the root will be very strong survival rate will be very high, followed by disinfection of the matrix, generally with a multi-bacteria Ling melt water treatment, summer with methyl thiophanate more than the proportion of treatment.

Third, I see many people use some old branches to do seedlings, maybe we think this branch is thicker and the survival rate is relatively high, but I think it is not very ideal, old branches almost have no advantage, I generally use young branches, young branches have several advantages, 1 vitality is strong, the top advantage is good and rich in nutrients. The seedling stage is short, but the old branch not only takes root slowly but also carries miscellaneous bacteria and is easy to rot. 2 Rooting fast, cutting cycle can be reduced by about a week. 3 save area, plug many times can be batch management, branches can reduce watering times, and ventilation is ideal to reduce disease due to poor ventilation. 3 After survival, it grows rapidly and can easily control the plant type!

The fourth cut management, small branches do not use rooting powder treatment, it is easy to rot, especially in summer. In fact, it is easy to root, pay attention to the humidity of the matrix, see dry see wet (the surface of the matrix is dry and the day is not withered) do not always wet, rather dry. Once a week with a fungicide, watering choice in the morning is better, the light problem is more important, out of the summer after 3 days in the semi-cool place, after the long-term storage in the sun, as long as pay attention to the substrate dry and wet is good. In summer, it needs to be placed in a semi-shady place, and some sunshine will be seen in the morning and evening. It will take about 15 to 20 days to root.

The above is the whole content of the breeding points of geranium I summarized for everyone. I hope this article can help you. Please continue to pay attention to us.
