Sowing and propagation of broccoli

Harvest the fruit from September to October every year, dry the fruit, rub it into pieces, and remove the sundries to get the seeds. Before sowing, the seeds should be soaked in cold water for 2-3 hours and wrapped with wet cloth

The sowing shall be conducted in windless weather, and the method of Sowing on the bed surface or drill sowing can be adopted. The soil covering after sowing shall not be too thick. The bed surface shall be kept wet within 30 days, and the seedlings can emerge in about 20 days

During the growth period of the seedlings of broccoli, weeds and insects should be often pulled out. The planting method is used to propagate the ribbon flower, which has a long growth period and is generally used for mass propagation

Cutting propagation of brocade

Cutting is a common method of propagation of brocade

Brocade generally selects softwood cutting from June to July in summer. Select the strong branches and cut them into about 15cm long Cymbidium, leaving only the upper 2 ~ 3 leaves. Prepare a sand bed or a seedbed of peat trees. After inserting, put up a shade and pay attention to heat preservation and moisture retention. Generally, it can take root more than 20 days after inserting. Hard branch cutting can also be carried out in March in spring, and the survival rate is also very high. Cuttings can bloom in 2 ~ 3 years

Layering propagation of striped broccoli

Layering method is also a simple and easy breeding method

The branches of C. odoratum are creeping. Select the branches of robust C. odoratum, remove the skin, press them into the soil in the growing season and wait for them to take root. After rooting, the branches, roots and mother plants shall be separated and replanted in the spring of the next year

Ramet propagation of striped broccoli

The ramet propagation of ribbon flower can be carried out in early spring, autumn and winter. Generally, it is carried out in combination with transplanting when the plant grows again in spring

When broccoli propagates separately, dig out the whole plant, take several plants as a cluster, divide them into several clusters, and plant them separately
