Avocado grafting usually uses Mexican varieties as rootstocks, which have strong cold tolerance and can adapt to low temperature. There are three kinds of grafting methods, namely bud grafting, cleft grafting and close grafting. Budding requires cutting off the full axillary bud with bark, cutting the bark into a shield shape, and inserting it into the T-shaped incision of the rootstock. Cleavage and butt grafting require cutting the bottom of the scion into a wedge or bevel and inserting it into the rootstock.

1. how to propagate orchids in the wild

Wild orchids grow and reproduce mainly through seed germination.After flowering and natural pollination, the mother plant produces seed pods, which will naturally crack when they mature.A seed pod contains many seeds, small in size and light in weight, and can be blown by the wind.So orchid seeds will float to other places with the wind, take root and grow dragon root seedlings, long leaves and mature plants.Before the formation of orchid seedlings growing in the wild, the root system first grows in the soil, then slowly grows leaflets, and then gradually expands the pseudobulb, which grows into a seedling with a very short internode, curved and fragile root system below, that is, Longgen seedling.

Orchid seeds drift with the wind. If they fall into rock crevices in the mountains, under shrubs, mountain valleys, and other places suitable for growth, they can take root, take root, sprout, and grow leaves there. After two to three years, the plants can be naturally pollinated again after flowering, grow seed pods, and then continue to multiply and live.

2. How to propagate domestic orchids

Domestic orchids are generally propagated by division.Because of the harsh conditions and low survival rate of seed sowing, it is not suitable for family reproduction.Orchid division propagation can be carried out all year round, but in order to ensure the survival rate, it is often carried out between 12 and 30 degrees Celsius.The orchid which is cultivated for about three years and has a developed root system is dug out, the root matrix is washed away, the rotten root is cut off, the root is cut off, and then the potted plant is carried out.
