Cutting and Propagation of Flower and Leaf Stone

Phyllostachys pubescens is a woody vine of Apocynaceae, which is widely distributed in China. It is also a very important greening plant, whether it is landscape engineering or road greening, it can use flower and leaf stone. So now Huaye Luoshi has a larger planting area. So when planting flowers and leaves, how to cut them? What are the methods of reproduction? Next, let's take a look at the cutting and propagation of flower and leaf stone with the editor.

1. How to cut

Before we cut the flower and leaf stone, we should first prepare the cutting bed and prepare the cutting substrate. The cutting substrate of mosaic complex stone can be mixed with vermiculite powder, peat soil and perlite. Then put it into the cuttage plate, nutrition bowl to raise seedlings, then you need to add a fine sand. If you find it troublesome, you can also insert the cuttings directly into the fine sand. Finally, we should pay attention to the cutting time of flower and leaf stone, although it can be carried out all year round. But in the spring and autumn cuttage, then its survival rate is the highest.

2. Cutting management

Then we need to choose a branch with strong growth, which is free from wounds, diseases and insect pests. Cut the branches into cuttings of about 10 centimeters, with at least one bud hole on each cuttings. Then cut the base of the branch with rooting agent and soak it, then insert it directly into the seedbed and pour enough water. After cutting, it is necessary to do a good job of management, keep the soil moist, and the soil water content should not be less than 50%. The temperature should also be kept at about 35 degrees, but it should not be too high, and if it is too high, it should be cooled in time. Before taking root and sprouting, cuttings should be protected from direct sunlight. Usually under normal management, cuttings can take root and sprout in about a week.

3. Other methods of reproduction

In addition to cutting propagation, mosaic collaterals can also be propagated by means of strip propagation. Before striping propagation, you also need to select good branches, perennial branches or tender shoots can be striped. However, the time of crimping will be different with different branches. Perennial branches should be carried out in spring and tender shoots in summer. When pressing, the branches should be peeled around about 20 centimeters from the base, then sterilized and dried, and then pressed directly into the soil. Do a good job in the management of water and fertilizer, and after the branches take root and the bile branches grow new buds, they gradually take root. At this time, it can be directly isolated from the mother plant into a single plant.

The above is a brief introduction to the cutting and propagation of mosaic stone. In reproduction, the flower and leaf stone is basically mainly by cutting, because the striping operation is more troublesome, and the rooting period is also relatively long, so it is not commonly used. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
