Propagation of domestic Michelia mollissima flowers

The aroma of Michelia flowers has a mature melon fragrance. If you put it in your pocket, it will be fumigated by body temperature, and the warmer it is, the more fragrant it will be. So Song Shiyun said: only this flower can not be stolen, and no one knows where it suddenly smells. Therefore, people love to raise several pots of Michelia flowers. According to practical experience, the author introduces the breeding methods of Michelia mollissima: the reproduction of Michelia mollissima can be sowed and grafted. The commonly used methods are cutting and striping. Although cutting and striping are two methods, they are actually the same principle, which make use of the ability of branches to grow adventitious roots.

Flower cutting is separated from the mother, the reliability of survival is not as reliable as striping, and the number of production can be more. It is enough to raise one or two flowers in the family, so the high position pressing method (high pressure method) is often used. Striping can be carried out during the growing period of Michelle, usually in April. Select sturdy branches of appropriate size, well developed and well-organized, with a length of 15 cm to 20 cm. Under the section where hope starts, cut it, or peel it around. Half cm to 1 cm wide, deep to xylem.

Then mix the fertile soil with dry moss or water grass into a wet mud mass, wrap it in a ring peeling place, wrap it with plastic film, make it solid at the bottom, and irrigate with holes at the upper end. Bamboo tubes and earthen pots can also be used instead of plastic film and fastened with ropes. Must be often irrigated to ensure a certain degree of humidity, must not dry up. It takes about 2 months to produce new roots. If you want to know whether there are many new roots extending to the soil surface, you can open the film to observe. When the new root is fully developed, the young plant can be cut off from the mother plant and planted in a 20 cm diameter earthen pot.

In addition to watering enough water for the first time, flowers should not have too much water in the future, and there is no need to apply fertilizer, so as to expand the development of new roots. You should also be careful to avoid strong sunlight. As for the cutting method, spring cutting is carried out in late March and autumn cutting is carried out in mid-September. Choose one-or two-year-old full branches, about 10 cm long, cut in the open field, and take root for about one and a half months. Pot in early September in spring and in mid-March the following year in autumn.
