1. Preparation of substrate: soilless substrate is preferred.Can be prepare from rice chaff and perlite in a ratio of 3:1.The prepared matrix is placed in a seedling container and leveled for later use.Because cuttings grow with their own nutrients, the substrate can not contain nutrients, nor need to apply base fertilizer.
2. Cutting time: the best time is in May-June, the high temperature has not yet come.The cutting period should be determined according to the length of seedling raising time, the number of pinching and other factors.Generally, it takes about 2 weeks to raise seedlings in soilless substrate and about 20 days in soil-containing substrate.And then that seedling are potted for about 10 day for pinching, and the heading period is between July and August.According to this, the best cutting period can be selected.
3. Lecting branches: selecting branches with good growth, robustness and no plant diseases and insect pests as cuttings.Generally, the germination of chrysanthemum plants after multiple pinching is used as cutting seedlings.The length of the cuttings should be 5-6 cm, and the leaves at the base of the cuttings should be removed.It should be noted that the picked cuttings should not be exposed to the sun, but should be placed in the shade and sprayed with water to keep them moist.
4. Cuttage: When cutting, the row spacing should be about 3cm, and one third of the cuttings should be inserted into the matrix.After insertion, gently press the matrix around the base with your fingers so that it can be tightly integrated with the matrix.After inserting, spray enough clean water for it with a watering can.
5. Potting: After the cuttings take root and grow into seedlings, they need to be potted in time.When the length of fibrous root is about 2 cm, it is the most suitable for potting.When potting, we should avoid damaging the root system, and try to use smaller pots to concentrate nutrients.The pot needs to be planted shallowly, the pot soil should not be filled up at one time, and the pot can be filled up to half of the pot, and the soil can be filled with the growth of the plant.After the completion of the basin, it should be placed in the shade for about 3-5 days, and then moved to a sunny place for normal maintenance and management.
If Chrysanthemum morifolium is propagated by seeds, the sowing time is mostly from February to April.Normally, it can blossom in the year of sowing.After sowing, the soil moisture should be maintained and the temperature should be controlled at about 10-18 C to germinate.
