Cutting propagation method

Generally, the twigs of the current year are used for softwood cutting in late spring and early autumn, or the old twigs are used for cutting in early spring

Cutting soil selection

Family cutting can use the special nutrient soil from the flower market or medium coarse river sand. Before cutting, it needs to be washed with clean water for several times

However, sea sand and river sand in saline alkali areas should not be used. They are not suitable for the growth of flowers and plants

Cutting branch selection

For softwood cutting, when the plant grows vigorously from late spring to early autumn, the thick branches of the current year are selected as heading. After cutting off the branches, select strong parts and cut them into a section 5 ~ 15 cm long, with more than 3 leaf nodes in each section

The upper cutting edge should be flat and the lower cutting edge should be oblique. The knife edge should be flat

Management of Ficus chinensis after cutting

Temperature

The suitable temperature for rooting is 20 ℃ ~ 30 ℃

If you encounter low temperature, you can wrap the whole flowerpot with film; If it is high temperature, we should pay attention to shading the sun and spray 3 to 5 times a day. p>

Moisture

cutting, the relative humidity of the air must be maintained at 75 to 85%. Spray evaporation is needed to reduce the moisture evaporation of the cuttings. p>

In sunny days, the temperature is higher, and the spraying times are more. In rainy days, the temperature is lower, and the spraying times are less or no

Illumination

Cutting propagation is inseparable from sunlight, but strong light will hinder the growth of new branches

After cutting, the sunlight must be covered by 50 ~ 80%. After the root system grows, the shading net shall be gradually removed: in sunny days, the shading net shall be removed at 4:00 p.m. every day, and the shading net shall be covered before 9:00 a.m. the next day
