Grafting of nocturnal flowers

For the grafting of nocturnal flowers, we usually choose the grafting method. The plants that can be used as rootstocks include magnolia, Phoebe, Manglietia, etc

Now we use the annual potted yellow orchid as the rootstock, select the scion from the mother plant in the plum rain season, align the incision formation layers on both sides, and tie them tightly with plastic film strips

Support the potted rootstock with a bamboo rod. After about 2-3 months, when the interface between the two becomes more and more alive, cut it from the lower mouth of the scion

Cutting method of nocturnal flower

In recent years, people often propagate nocturnal flowers by cutting

First, we should choose annual to biennial seedlings. And prepare the matrix for cutting. The matrix should be clean, including vermiculite, perlite, plain sandy soil, peat soil, etc pay attention to that the matrix of cutting should not be too thick, which will lead to the increase of matrix temperature during cutting and affect the rooting of cutting

Then, after the young are determined, the ears should be cut on the seedlings. When cutting, the section needs to be cut into an inclined plane, because this can increase the area of absorbing water, and pay attention to taking several leaves, because the plants need light cooperation to produce organic matter

Then, put the branches in a dry place and wait for the incision to dry, then you can go to the next step

Finally, when cutting, insert the cuttings into the matrix for the growth of nocturnal flowers. Pay attention not to reverse the top and bottom, otherwise they will not germinate

Then, just wait for it to take root according to the latest data, the survival rate of cutting is 90%
