Propagation method of Dragon Blood Tree

Striping propagation

Conditions of striping propagation

The stem of the dragon blood tree grows mostly erect and has few branches. After several years of plant growth, the basal leaves fall off and naturally lose their ornamental value.

According to this situation, breeders can carry out striping reproduction in the high-temperature and humid season from May to July.

Striping method

In the appropriate part of the stem of the plant, the ring is cut in a ring, with a width of 1.8cm to 2.2cm, deep to the xylem, peel off the skin of the ring with a knife, wipe off the liquid branch of the incision with a clean wet cloth, smear the upper layer of the incision with 5000-1000ppm aqueous solution of naphthalene acetic acid, then tie it to the lower end of the incision with white plastic film, straighten it out into a funnel, and install the rooting stem mixed with moss and mountain soil, and the ring wraps the knife edge. Irrigate once, fasten the upper end of the river film, and then put the plant outside to cultivate, strengthen fertilizer and water management.

Dragon blood tree after high pressure, at any time to check whether the matrix is dry, to replenish water at any time. Generally, after 30 to 40 days of cultivation, new roots appear at the circumferential site, and can be cut off from the mother to grow into an independent plant from September to October.

Cutting time selection

The dragon blood tree can also be propagated asexually by cutting, which is from May to June. At this time, it is the exuberant growth period of the dragon blood tree, the plant is rich in nutrition, and it is easy to survive after cutting.

Cutting branch selection

Before cutting, you can select the mother plant with high ornamental value, and take the robust branches that have grown for more than two years, each section is about 10-20 cm long, with leaves or no leaves.

Specific cutting skills

The base of the cuttings is cut into a flat mouth, and the leaves are retained after the upper part is crosscut. The upper and lower incisions can be soaked in clean water to wash the overflowing juice, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry for a period of time, and then soak the cuttings base 2-3 cm with 500-1000ppm naphthalene acetic acid, usually for 5 seconds.

Dragon blood tree cuttings, nursery bed can use small pottery flowerpots, matrix can be vermiculite, perlite or high-temperature sterilized plain sand, on the pot for cutting. One plant in each pot, pour water once after it is inserted, put the seedling bed in the bright place of flowers, and maintain it carefully.

Cuttage maintenance

The future management work is mainly to keep the matrix moist. The dragon blood tree wound heals quickly, takes root early, germinates quickly, generally 15 to 20 days, the incision under the action of wound hormone, will produce callus; 25 to 35 days, cuttings under the action of endogenous hormones, can quickly appear the primitive root, 35 to 40 days can sprout new roots, two months later, you can use culture soil to turn over the pot and transplant.
