Today, the editor will simply share with you the cutting propagation method of Phnom Penh Daphne.

I. preparation of substrates

Phnom Penh Daphne likes the slightly acidic sandy loam which is fertile and loose, permeable and permeable. It generally uses rotten leaf soil, garden soil and sandy soil to prepare a mixed substrate for cutting propagation. You can also use laterite, rotten leaf soil and river sand or pond mud, humus and river sand to form a mixed matrix. In order to improve the fertility of the substrate, we can also add a little cake fertilizer as the base fertilizer in the mixed soil to ensure that the cuttings can get sufficient nutrients from the soil to maintain their growth.

2. Cutting cuttings

For the cutting of Phnom Penh Daphne, it is appropriate to choose semi-lignified or lignified branches as cuttings, and it is most appropriate to control the original length at about 10 cm. However, it is suggested that the lower end of the cuttings be cut into a smooth slope, or the lower port be cut into two tapered wedges to increase the contact area with the substrate, so as to better promote the rooting of the base. Two or three halves of leaves can be kept above the branches for photosynthesis, and then the cuttings are set aside to dry the wound.

3. Cutting process

When the wound on the cuttings of Daphne odorifera in Phnom Penh condenses and dries, apply a little rooting agent to the end of the cuttings, or soak it in a rooting solution. Then insert the cuttings into the cutting substrate, and the insertion depth should be controlled at about 2-3 cm. Finally, after watering, the cuttings will be placed in a semi-shady place with sufficient scattered light for maintenance, during which attention should be paid to moisturizing work, which will take about 3 weeks to take root.

IV. Maintenance and management

When Phnom Penh Daphne takes root and survives smoothly, in addition to light and temperature management, it is also necessary to do a good job in watering and fertilization management. But watering can not be too frequent, you can water at most once a day, because if the soil is too wet or stagnant for a long time, it is easy to cause rotten roots. Fertilization also needs to be decided according to the growth of cuttings, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be sprayed once in the evening to promote root growth.

Fifth, transplant into the pot

When the root system of Phnom Penh Daphne incense cuttings is strong and sprouting, we choose a suitable weather environment and time to transplant into the pot. However, before planning to transplant into the pot, it is recommended to fertilize it again in advance. After finishing the pot, you still need to put the potted plants in a cool place to slow down the seedlings and provide them with a little scattered light at most. Wait for the plant to take the pot smoothly, and then return to normal maintenance and management.
