Stem insertion

Most of the stems and leaves of herbaceous plants can produce buds, and most of them can grow buds on the stems and leaves of herbaceous plants

Plant cutting -- Taking Camellia as an example

The best time for cutting: Autumn

Selection of cuttings: select the branches with strong growth in the current year, that is, the branches germinating after the flowering period in spring, and mature in autumn

Standard for cuttings:

Select 15 ~ 20cm old lignified branches with three to five nodes. If there are expanded flower buds on the branches, remove the leaves at the lower part of the branches

Cutting substrate:

The cutting matrix must be well drained, and 80% perlite and 20% coarse sand can be used

Post cutting management:

Cover and fix the flowerpot with a transparent plastic bag, poke a small hole in the plastic film and pour water, which can play a moisturizing role. Place the cutted flowerpot where the light is scattered to keep the pot soil moist

After about a month or two, it will take root and sprout

Leaf insert

Fallen leaves not only return to their roots, but also have the ability to take root. The leaves that can usually be used as cuttings belong to plants with relatively thick leaves, such as African pansy, big rock Tung, capsicum and succulent plants

Plant leaf insertion -- taking big rock Tung as an example

1. Take off the leaves with petioles, and hang the petioles in the water. It takes about three or four weeks to take root in winter and about a week in summer

2. Bury the rooting petiole in the soil or water moss

3. It is easy for leaves to take root, but budding is a long process. It takes two or three months to see seedlings. In summer, the time is relatively shorter

Bud insertion

It is mainly aimed at herbaceous plants. Cuttings with terminal buds have high survival rate and short time to form seedlings, such as colored leafy grass, African Impatiens, sunflower, four seasons Begonia, etc

Bud insertion -- Taking Mint as an example

1. Select strong Mint branches with terminal buds, preferably with close internodes. The best cuttings are nine to fifteen centimeters

Remove the lowest blade

2. The cuttings can be directly inserted into the water, put on the pot after growing roots, or directly inserted into the flower pot with substrate

3. Peppermint grows faster, and many roots can be produced in one to two weeks. After cuttings take root, thin slow-release fertilizer can be applied, which is conducive to the initial growth

Rooting

The roots of some plants also have the ability to grow adventitious buds, so the roots also have the potential of asexual reproduction. Like dragon spitting beads, June snow, fireworks trees and other plants

Root insertion -- Taking dragon spitting beads as an example

Cut the root of the strong end of the mother plant, cut the oblique mouth at the bottom and the bottle mouth at the top, so as to distinguish the top and bottom. After that, insert the root system into the matrix, water it and put it at the scattered light

In general, the root system can produce seedlings in about two to five weeks, and sufficient light should be ensured after germination
