Plum layering time in February to March, usually in sunny days, if it is overcast and rainy weather, it will affect its survival.As the saying goes, plum but the Beginning of Spring, so the time is generally not later than the Beginning of Spring, usually spring layering, until early winter can be divided, the latest to wait until the early spring of the second year.
1. Selection of branches: In order to ensure the success rate of layering, first of all, select plum branches.Generally, 1-3 years old robust branches are selected, and the age of the branches determines the layering method.1-2 years of branches need to use ordinary layering method, more than 2 years of branches need to use high-altitude layering method.
2. Appropriate treatment: After selecting a good branch, it is necessary to girdle it.The girdling position is generally in the middle of the branch, and the width is about 5 centimeters.The girdling area should be sprayed with carbendazim for disinfection, so as not to infect the bacteria in the air, resulting in decay, which can not take root.
3. Rooting and transplanting: After handling the branches, it is necessary to carry out layering. Generally, it is wrapped with moss or wet fertile soil at the location of girdling. The outside is wrapped with a layer of plastic cloth, and tied tightly at both ends. In this way, it can not only keep the inside wet, but also avoid water loss.Generally, it takes root after falling leaves in autumn and can be cut off and planted again.
4. Subsequent maintenance: After it is planted again, a proper amount of water is needed. Since it is usually in winter, it is not easy to water too much.In addition, if the climate is cold, it needs to be properly warmed to avoid frostbite.When spring comes, you can increase watering and apply a little nitrogen fertilizer to promote growth.
