The cutting Propagation method of Primrose-- Water cutting method

In the last article pushed by the editor, the editor introduced the time and method of primrose cutting, but it is a way to propagate young plants in soil. Today, the editor will introduce to you another way of cutting propagation-water cutting. So, how to put primroses in water? Next, the editor will share with you the water insertion method of primrose.

In short, the water insertion of primrose is to cut branches from adult plants and insert them into a container containing water. Glass containers are generally used so that you can see the germination and growth of the cuttings in the bottle. During this period, the main thing is to change water frequently, and after rooting and budding, transplanting soil culture can be carried out. This method tends to take root faster and is more suitable for the reproduction of young plants.

1. Water insertion time

As long as the temperature is suitable, the water insertion of primrose can be carried out all the year round. However, if water insertion is carried out in winter, the vase needs to be placed in the sunny place where the indoor light is bright. Summer needs to avoid direct sunlight, so shading measures need to be taken in time. Moreover, when inserting water, the water temperature should be kept between 15-20 ℃, and the indoor temperature should also be close to this temperature. In such an environment, cuttings can often germinate normally, and the success rate is relatively high.

2. Making cuttings

The selection of cuttings requires robust growth, bud eyes are also very full, the length should be pruned to a length of about 8-12 cm, while retaining 2-4 nodes. Generally cut off from the position of about 2 mm below the branch, while retaining a few leaves to avoid excessive evaporation of water, which is also more conducive to promoting rooting.

Third, select the container

Usually we choose a transparent glass container, which can be a glass vase. The caliber of the vase should be slightly larger, it is best to have a bottleneck under the mouth of the original bottle, and the local capacity should also be larger. Sterilize and disinfect before use, and then wash it with clean water.

IV. Water insertion process

Fill the container with clean water, it is recommended to use pure water, keep the depth at 8-10 cm, then tie up the cuttings and insert them into the bottle, the cuttings that are not in the water should be about 4-6 cm, and then put the vase in a semi-shady and ventilated place. During this period, you need to keep the water quality clean, so you need to change the water frequently, and you can also drop a few drops of nutrient solution in the right amount. Usually a change of water can be carried out in 3-5 days. If it goes well, part of the wound will gradually heal in about 3 weeks and take root after 1 month.

V. planting in pots

When the root system of cutting seedlings grows to 3-5 cm long, we need to transplant them in time, either in water or in soil, but they are usually transplanted to potted soil for soil cultivation. But the operation process needs to be careful, as far as possible to avoid damage to the root system, after planting in a semi-shady position management. Usually after more than a week, the normal management can be restored after the plant returns to normal growth.
