Cutting method of Blue Snow Flower

He had blue snowflakes and wanted to propagate by cutting them. He cut off a branch, plucked the lower half of the leaves, and soaked them in water. After a few days, the bottom would turn black, and the top leaves would wither. Then, he would cut off the black part at the bottom and continue to soak them in water. After a few days, the bottom would turn black again...

How did the blue snowflake grow?

Blue snowflake cuttage is an important method of blue snowflake propagation, because blue snowflake seed difficult, affecting her propagation speed, so blue snowflake cuttage propagation becomes inevitable, but many flower friends lack experience in cuttage, so this article summarizes the key to the success of blue snowflake cuttage are as follows:

1, cuttage time: late spring or early autumn is the best (some flower friends want to carry out cuttage or seeding operations throughout the year, in fact, this is unreasonable, although there will be successful cases, but the probability is much smaller).

2. Medium: clean vermiculite (vermiculite must also be used, perlite can also be used, water can also be inserted, flower friends can try more).

3, moisture: moisture should be saturated, there should be clear water under the medium, the whole film coverage moisture (bad ventilation will be black tip, but black words cut to improve ventilation, or no problem).

4. Branches: new buds or young shoots of the current year (5-7 cm, you can cut the leaves below in half and keep the tender tips).

Cuttings began on September 1.

Because it is a nursery box, so cover the cover moisture, if it is a basin, it is recommended to cover the plastic bag and the like moisture.

On September 29, long roots, nine survived seven trees, because vermiculite has no nutrition, October 3 for false planting.

Cuttage key points recorded:

1. Spring insertion (autumn is also possible);

2. Knives should be sharp. New knives should be washed away with water first, and then disinfected with alcohol.

3. Choose this year's semi-lignified branches, about 10 cm;

4, medium with long coconut fiber and sponge;

5, the basin bag moisture, there are holes;

6. Place it in a bright place with astigmatism;

7, about 3 weeks or more root;

8. After rooting, bag and moisturize for 1~2 weeks.

Cuttage propagation can not be separated from sunlight, because cuttings continue to carry out photosynthesis to produce nutrients and rooting substances to supply their rooting needs. However, the stronger the light, the higher the temperature in the cutting body, the more vigorous the transpiration of the cutting, the more water consumed, which is not conducive to the survival of the cutting. Therefore, after cutting, the sun must be blocked by 50~80%. After the roots grow out, the shading net is gradually removed: the shading net is removed at 4:00 p.m. every day on a sunny day, and the shading net is covered before 9:00 a.m. the next day.

PS:

Cuttings always have success and failure, generally speaking, 10 cuttings can live 7-8 roots, is more common.
