Six methods of Flower Reproduction

1. Seed propagation

Most herbaceous flowers can blossom and bear seeds for seed reproduction. At present, most of the commercially produced flower seeds are hybrid seeds, especially imported flower seeds.

two。 Cuttage propagation

Most flowers can be propagated by cutting, including herbaceous, woody, cactus succulent plants and so on. However, the survival rate of cutting propagation of different varieties is different, and the methods of cutting propagation are also different. Cuttings are mainly cut with branches, and there are also some varieties that can be cut with leaves, such as begonia, African violets, paulownia and so on.

3. Ramet propagation

Some flower varieties with strong tillering and ramet ability, such as Chinese orchid, Cymbidium, Cataran and so on, are suitable for this method.

4. Grafting propagation

There are some woody flowers in ①, such as rose, cherry blossom, blue peach and so on. Grafting can shorten the breeding period and achieve the effect of selecting good varieties and blooming early.

② banyan plants, such as the slow-growing star banyan and silver leaf banyan, can be grafted to meet the specifications of the commercial nursery ahead of time.

5. Bulb reproduction

① bulbous and perennial flowers, such as lilies, tulips, hyacinths, gladiolus, Zhu Dinglan, etc., are suitable for this method.

② tubers and root flowers can be propagated by cutting tubers and roots.

6. Tissue culture

All the flower varieties commercially produced by ① can be propagated rapidly on a large scale by this method. At present, more than 100 flower varieties have been propagated rapidly through tissue culture.

Flowers with underdeveloped ② seeds, such as orchids, can quickly grow into beads by aseptic culture.
