Cutting methods of Prunus mume

Five-colored plum, a small evergreen shrub also known as Lantana, often emits a special smell and is rich in color. The flowers of five-colored plum are composed of many small flowers, which are composed of many colors, such as yellow, red, pink, orange, blue and so on. Each inflorescence shows six colors without color, so it is called "five-colored plum". It can bloom throughout the year as long as the potted plant is properly maintained and managed, and it is very beautiful.

As the five-color plum blossom is rich and gorgeous, it can be used to make bonsai appreciation, and cuttings are often used to propagate young plants. So, how to cut the five-colored plum exactly? Today, the editor is going to talk about its cutting method:

1. The first thing to determine is the cutting time. The cutting process of five-color plum is generally completed in the growing season, during this period, the five-color plum cuttings are easier to root and sprout and have good stability.

The next step is to cut the cuttings. One-year-old branches with strong growth should be selected from the mother plant as cuttings. In addition to growing healthily, the selected branches should also be sure to have more than two nodes.

3. After selecting the branches as cuttings, we can use disinfection tools to cut them off from the mother plant. Then prune every two segments as a cuttage.

4. After the cuttings are made, put the prepared sand or vermiculite into the basin (pay attention to maintaining a certain humidity), and then insert the cuttings into the culture soil at certain intervals.

5. After the cuttage is finished, the whole pot with five-color plum branches is placed in a cool place for maintenance and management. at the same time, pay attention to protect the basin soil in a moist state and the air humidity is suitable. After about 1 extra, rooting can be found at the base of the cuttings, and the seedlings can be transplanted in the pot at this time.

6. for the upper pot transplanting of seedlings, the loose and fertile sandy loam rich in humus should be selected for planting. After finishing the pot, do a good job of maintenance and management in time.

7. In the process of maintenance and management, the first thing to do is the management of water and fertilizer, sufficient water and fertilizer can ensure the rapid growth of plants and make the trunk of young plants thicken rapidly.

8. In order to maintain a good plant shape, we need to cut the extra branches at an appropriate time to control the plant height. When the plant grows to the right size, we should shape it in time to ensure that the plant maintains a good ornamental.

Of course, in addition, we can also cut graceful and well-growing old branches from the mother plant, which has the advantage of blooming soon after the cuttings take root.

However, if it is to shorten the time of making bonsai, we can also use the old piles of five-colored plum to cultivate them, but we have certain requirements in the choice of old stakes, so we should choose the downhill piles with vigorous and sturdy branches as the cultivation piles. Because this kind of pile material is more ornamental and unique artistic effect, but this kind of pile material is not easy to find, especially in the northern region.
