Propagation method of passionflower: strip method

Strip propagation is a kind of asexual propagation, which is best carried out in February and March in spring

It is a propagation method that the branches on the mother plant are pressed into the soil or wrapped with soil to form adventitious roots, and then the branches above the adventitious roots are separated from the mother plant to form an independent new plant

When pressing, in order to interrupt the downward transport of organic substances such as sugar, auxin and other substances from the upper end of leaves and branches, so as to accumulate these substances in the upper part of the treatment for rooting, circular peeling can be carried out. This method is simple, rapid growth and short seedling forming time

After planting passionflower plants, in order to achieve early fruit and early harvest, in addition to water and fertilizer management, the branches of passionflower should be pulled by bamboo or wood in time to climb up and grow, and the branches on the dry vine should be removed in time to reduce unnecessary nutrient loss, so as to form a reasonable and high-yield tree shape as soon as possible, which is conducive to early fruit and early production

Propagation method of passionflower: sowing method

Sowing and breeding can be carried out all year round, but sowing in spring and autumn is the best

Generally, plants with strong growth, no diseases and insect pests, high and stable yield are selected as the mother plant. The fruits with correct shape, slightly heavy and fully mature are collected, the seeds are taken out, the residue is washed and dried, and then they can be sown

Stir the seeds evenly on the seedling bed for about 20 kg, and then sprinkle them on the seedling bed for more than 20 minutes

After sowing, cover the seedbed with a thin layer of grass and drench with enough water

After sowing, it should be watered according to the weather conditions. On sunny days, it should be sprayed once in the morning and evening every day, and the excavation will begin about half a month later

When the emergence of seedlings reaches more than 80%, topdressing shall be carried out in time. Dilute water and fertilizer or dilute urea solution can be used to cultivate strong seedlings. When the seedlings grow 4 true leaves, they shall be transplanted

Although the sowing method is relatively simple, the seedlings propagated by seeds have strong roots and strong stress resistance, but they have large variation, late results, unstable yield and uneven fruit size
