Cutting Propagation of Fig

Fig is rich in nutrition, good taste, its vitality is extremely tenacious, planting is mostly cutting, ramet propagation, of which cutting is the main. The following editor will take over the cutting propagation of figs and let's get to know it.

1. Cutting time

Fig cuttings are best eaten in spring and can be carried out when the temperature is about 20 degrees. At this time, the survival rate of cutting is higher, and it can bear fruit after transplanting in the following year, and some can even bear fruit in the same year. When cutting, it is best to choose non-saline-alkali soil, figs are resistant to saline-alkali, but when the salt content is too high, it is very easy to die after cutting, so it is appropriate to choose rich sandy loam soil or soil with high organic matter content.

2. Picking and cutting cuttings

The cutting of cuttings should be carried out before the sap flow after autumn, and before sprouting in spring, and no later than March at the latest, otherwise the survival rate is very low at that time, and cutting should not be cut immediately, which will affect the survival rate and can be stored in sand for 2-3 months. The length of cuttings is as long as possible, the branching time of figs is long, the development time of figs is different, and its maturity will be different. The branches pruned in early autumn are older and can be trimmed into 2-bud cuttings, while those in mid-autumn or late autumn are less mature and shorter internodes, so they should be trimmed into 4-bud cuttings.

3. Cutter treatment

After pruning, the upper end of the cuttings should be cut by one centimeter from the bud, and a 45-degree oblique cut under the cuttings to expand the contact area between cuttings and soil, which is conducive to rooting, but also for confusion, the phenomenon of inverted insertion. In order to promote the cuttings to take root as soon as possible, the cuttings can be soaked in clean water for 12-24 hours before cutting. the soaking time is judged according to the degree of water shortage, and the cuttings with serious water shortage should be soaked for longer.

4. Cuttage

Cuttings should be inserted obliquely, which is conducive to survival. The depth of cuttings is 1/3 of the length of cuttings. It is best to have a section on the ground. After cutting, the soil near the cuttings should be compacted so as not to lodge the cuttings and water them once. Figs just after cutting are afraid of strong light, so to do a good sunshade measure, you can put a plastic bag on the seedlings, fasten it with a rope, and then open two small holes in the plastic bag for ventilation. At the same time, the soil should be often watered to keep the soil moist, and when the branches grow new leaves, the plastic bags can be removed.
