How long can the plum flower cuttage take root, the plum flower cuttage propagation method

In cloudy days or light rain in winter and spring, when the plants enter the dormant period, digging and potting can improve the survival rate of the transplanted stumps. After digging out, it needs to be planted in wet sand land or in earthen pots for pile maintenance. Pruning dead roots, diseased roots and diseased branches, etc., and then sealing the incision with wax, or spreading a layer of erythromycin ointment and fine sand soil to allow the plant to heal. After planting, covering soil and compacting to recover the growth of the plant. It can be irrigated with root fixing water for about 3-5 days.

1. How long does cutting take root

Plum cuttings are usually carried out from November to January. Because the temperature is not high at this time and the rooting speed is not fast, it usually takes two months.However, compared with other seasons, the survival rate of winter cuttage was the highest.

2. Cuttage method

1. Cuttage time: The cuttage time of Prunus mume was mostly in winter.Unlike many plants, the survival rate of cuttings in spring is the lowest, but the survival rate in winter is very high, generally reaching about 90%.Compared with high temperature environment, it prefers a climate with soft light and suitable humidity, which is very helpful for rooting.

2. Cuttings treatment: The cuttings of plum blossoms should be 1-2 years old branches, and hard branches must be used. Softwood cuttings have high requirements on the environment, and are generally not easy to succeed.Choose a healthy mother tree and cut a branch 10-15 centimeters long.Since it was winter, there were no leaves to deal with.

3. Preparation of matrix: The quality of matrix plays a key role in ensuring the survival of cuttings.Generally, sandy loam should be used for soil, which is loose, fertile and breathable, and can reduce the risk of bacterial growth.If you prepare it yourself, you need to give priority to humus soil and add a proper amount of perlite, so as to ensure its drainage capacity.

4. Cutting: Insert the bottom of the cutting into the soil. Before cutting, you can first poke a hole. The hole should be deep, so that it can be fixed. It is enough for the upper part to be exposed by two centimeters.After cutting, it should be watered thoroughly and covered with plastic film, which can have the effect of heat preservation and moisture preservation, and is more helpful for its rooting.
