Sowing and propagation

Seed collection

The best seed for this plant is a healthy, harmless, strong and straight mother tree with a tree age of more than 20 years. Generally, the purple fruit is selected after October and before November every year, and then exposed to the sun, dehydrated and dried, and processed manually to obtain seeds. Then rub the seeds in water and store them in wet sand. (if you feel it's too troublesome to collect seeds by yourself, you can buy them directly in the flower market)

Habits

The living environment of zuixiang Michelia seeds should be medium sunlight, and the seeds should be buried a little deeper, but the air permeability and drainage of the soil must be guaranteed. The best time for reproduction is generally early spring. The seedlings of zuixiang Michelia can be cultivated within two months, and can be transplanted after reaching a certain height. If sowing and breeding are carried out in the second half of the year, the plastic film can be covered on it when it is cold, and the seedlings can be taken out when they break through the soil

Strip propagation

Strip cutting

Like the selection conditions of seeds, the straight, healthy and strong paper strip is suitable for layering to reproduce zuixiang Michelia. The selected branches are measured down from the end and cut 15 to 30 cm with a knife. The width is about 1 cm, and the depth is the depth of the bark just cut off

Processing process

Wrap the incision of the note with a film, which is similar to the way the patient wraps up the wound. Seal the two ends tightly and leave a gap in the middle. Then pull down the branches and bury them with a layer of wet pastoral soil. In about a month, new roots will grow, and then cut them off to reproduce a new seedling
