Propagation mode of potted five-color plum

There are often multicolor changes in a cluster of inflorescences, so the alias is also called five-colored plum and colorful flowers; at the same time, the branches and leaves contain a special irritating smell, so Ma Yingdan also has aliases such as smelly grass and smelly Jinfeng, flowering from June to October.

Potted five-color plum should turn the pot before leaving the house in spring, apply sufficient base fertilizer, and prune the branches appropriately. If it is a small seedling, it should be topped to promote lateral branches. For the formed plants, attention should be paid to the thinning of weak and diseased branches and proper truncation in order to maintain a good tree shape and promote more new shoots. If you do not leave seeds after flowering, you should pick off the residual flowers to facilitate the extraction of inflorescences from the axils of the lower leaves, keep plenty of sunshine and moist soil during the growing period, and not be too dry, especially during flowering. If it is too dry, it is easy to wilt and affect flowering.

To sow and reproduce:

Sowing can be sowed in pots with high humidity and temperature at the end of autumn, or in spring. Sowing seedlings in South China can be used to plant flower beds, and flowers can be seen in September of that year. After the fruit is ripe, it is picked and retted, soaked in water and scrubbed to remove the pulp, and the seeds are obtained. To avoid losing water, seeds can be sowed with picking in autumn, or stored in mixed sand, and sown again in spring. The temperature should be kept above 20C in the germination stage after sowing. The germination rate is about 60%, and the seedlings sown in the south can blossom in autumn.

Cutting propagation:

The cuttings are carried out more than May. One-year-old branches are taken as cuttings, every two sections are divided into one section, the two leaves of the upper section are retained and half of them are cut off, and the lower section is inserted into the matrix of plain sandy soil or fully mature humus soil, shading, film moisturizing, heat preservation, keeping the cutter moist and air humidity at 80%-90%, and sprouting roots and shoots in about 1 month. If the seedlings want to plant flower beds in the open field after survival, they should first be planted in a small flowerpot. When the roots of the cuttings grow to the 5cm or so and some of them are brown, they are transplanted into the pot and maintained in the shade for a period of time. After the new roots are developed and enriched, the white roots protrude from the bottom hole, and then take off the pot and plant.

Striping propagation:

The plant has many branches and takes root in the soil, so the soft branches are cut and pressed into the soil, and the roots are cut off after the root system grows.

Five-color plum bear pruning, as long as pay attention to pruning can make five-color plum grow healthier, plant type is also more beautiful, flowering is also more, five-color plum breeding is simple, do not need how to spend thought, like friends might as well have a try.
