Cutting method of passion fruit

Passion fruit, also known as egg fruit, is a kind of fruit with high nutritional value. Passion fruit can be used not only as a raw fruit, but also as a vegetable. Now the planting area of passion fruit in our country is very extensive, when planting passion fruit, the most important thing is how to reproduce. Passion fruit has a method of propagation is cutting propagation, then the editor today brought you the cutting method of passion fruit, let's have a look!

1. Soil selection

As the main nutrient absorption point of passion fruit, soil has a great relationship with the cutting success rate of passion fruit. A good soil environment can make passion fruit cuttings grow normally, so we should first choose a soil with strong permeability and rich humus as cutting medium before cutting. Conditional choice of river sand, because of the strong permeability of river sand, and this good water conservation capacity, and can reduce the number of bacteria. It is very conducive to passion fruit cutting, but also can greatly improve the survival rate of cutting.

2. Cuttings selection

Passion fruit cuttings used for cutting should be strong enough, strong growth ability and free of diseases and insect pests, so as to effectively improve the survival rate. First of all, the growth time of cuttings should not be too long, should be within a year, because the branch growth ability is strong, the rooting rate is not low, and the diameter is also very suitable for cuttings. As long as the soil is nutritionally adequate and the surrounding environment is suitable, the survival rate can reach nearly 100%. But when cutting cuttings, we should pay attention to the strength, ensure that the incision is smooth, promote healing, and prevent bacterial infection.

3. Timely cutting

The branches should be cut into small segments before cutting, and there are about three bud holes on each segment. The cutting part is cut into an oblique mouth to improve the contact area of the soil and facilitate the absorption of nutrients. When cutting, we should pay attention to put the leaf buds upward, and then smear an appropriate amount of rooting agent to improve the rooting rate of cuttings. The cutting time should be carried out in spring, because the temperature and weather in spring are very suitable for the growth of cuttings, and other seasons will affect the survival rate. After cutting, it is necessary to control moisture to prevent excessive moisture from soaking roots and leading to cutting failure.

4. Plug-in management

After the cuttage is successful, it is necessary to control the temperature to avoid too high temperature and affect the rooting of cuttings. And also maintain a certain degree of shade to prevent the cuttings from rooting failure caused by direct sunlight. However, after the cuttings have successfully rooted, they need to provide a certain amount of light time, and then irrigate once to keep the soil moist enough to meet the nutrients needed for seedling growth. We can properly cover the soil with plastic film to improve the heat preservation and moisture retention capacity of the soil. Then it can be managed according to the management method of seedlings.

The above is a brief introduction to the cutting method of passion fruit. There are many breeding methods of passion fruit, mainly according to the actual situation to choose reasonably. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
