Softwood cuttage technique of fig

The fig twigs bought online have finally received the goods after 3 days. The fig branches are not only twigs but also with terminal buds. As the summer weather is relatively hot, it took another 3 days on the road, after receiving the cuttings, you can obviously see that the cut has become a little black, and the state of the branches looks very general.

Because it is the first time to do the cutting experiment, it is divided into two groups, one group uses water culture cuttage, the other group uses soil culture cuttage.

1. Before cutting, these cuttings are disinfected, they are easily sprayed with carbendazim solution, and then the cuttings are soaked in rooting solution.

2. After 2-3 days, it can be found that there are some white spots at the base of cuttings propagated by hydroponic culture, but the branches planted in soil have not changed obviously.

3. After a few days, the white spots on the hydroponic cuttings became more prominent, and the leaf buds began to turn green. At this time, 2 drops of nutrient solution were dropped into the container. But by this time the branches planted in the soil had already begun to sprout.

4. After another 4-5 days, the white spots at the base of hydroponic cuttings had turned into white roots, and the leaf buds were clearly visible. At this time, change to clean water and drop 5 drops of nutrient solution at the same time. By this time, the branches planted in the soil had already grown two tender leaves.

5. After another week, the terminal and lateral buds of both water-cut and soil-cut shoots have been unfolded, and the plants have basically survived.

In the above cultivation process, the hydroponic branches are carried out outdoors, the sunlight is normal, and no shade measures are taken; the soil branches are always placed in the outdoor shady environment, but they are sprayed with water 4-5 times a day to keep the branches moist. However, by comparison, the rooting and sprouting of soil was obviously faster than that of hydroponics.

In fact, peach cuttings, whether in water or soil, can survive. However, compared with water planting, soil planting has more advantages in rooting and sprouting. But in the process of cultivation, disinfection and moisturizing are essential links.
