Propagation method of Ivy

The leaf color and shape of ivy are varied, evergreen all the year round, is a beautiful climbing plant, can be used as scaffolding or wall vertical greening. It is also suitable for indoor pot culture, and it is also a very good indoor foliage plant, which can be used as potted plant, hanging basket, totem, plastic plant and so on. Ivy is also the configuration material for cut flowers. In addition, it is a good ground cover material to be planted with other plants.

Ivy is very effective in purifying the air, and hanging pots make people feel happy, and such green plants are still very popular. In addition, the cold resistance of ivy is also relatively strong, in North China have seen people use to beautify the wall, you can think of how hardy it is.

Ivy is also known as ivy, Araliaceae ivy. Perennial evergreen vine. Ivy can be propagated by sowing, cutting and pressing.

1. Sowing and reproduction

Generally, sowing can be carried out in the south of the Yangtze River and South China. The propagation of ivy seeds mainly refers to harvesting when the fruit is ripe, stacking and ripening, soaking and kneading, seed washing and shade drying, then sowing; it can also be stored in wet sand and sowed in the following spring. After sowing, cover the soil with 1cm and cover with grass to moisturize. The seedlings were unearthed and shaded in a shed, and large seedlings were cultivated after transplanting or fixing seedlings in the spring of the second year.

2. Cuttage propagation

The vines of ivy are easy to root and are usually propagated by cuttings. The stem segment with three budding eyes was cut and inserted into loose plain soil and kept at room temperature of 15-25 ℃. It could take root in about a week. In the practice of cuttings propagation, there are also those who take root with blisters, which only soak the lower end of the cuttings in shallow water to keep the water clean and properly at room temperature, which also takes root for about a week.

Under the condition of cultivation in greenhouse, it can be cut all year round. Family reproduction is generally suitable for cutting from April to May in spring and from August to September in autumn. The key to cuttage survival is the selection of cuttings and the season of cuttings. generally, semi-lignified and robust branches should be selected, which are not easy to be cut alive if they are too tender or too old. each section is 3 nodes, 10-20 cm long, and the basal 1-2 segments with aerial roots are inserted into the culture soil. The substrate of cutting is disinfected medium sand, temperature control is 20 ℃, humidity is 80%, 90%, plastic film is covered, and 500x Kuaibao is used to irrigate roots before cutting. It can take root in about two weeks, and 3-5 roots can be inserted in each pot, which can grow into plump plants. Management should maintain a high air humidity and scattered light environment.

Pay attention to cuttings can not use perennial old branches, but to choose the strong growth of twigs, remove the lower leaves, slightly dry the wound can be cuttings, protect the bud points on the cuttings, it is easy to survive.

3. Striping propagation

Ivy will have creeping branches to grow, and creeping branches will produce air roots at the branches and root into the soil, so it is easy to propagate ivy by striping. The striping method is to press the stem vine continuously, press the soil block on the stem, make the node take root, cut off 4-5 segments after rooting, and transplant when the axillary bud germinates 8-10 cm.
