For the grafting of nocturnal flowers, we usually choose the grafting method. The plants that can be used as rootstock include magnolia, Phoebe, Manglietia, etc.
Now we use annual potted yellow orchid as rootstock. In the rainy season, we choose scions from the mother plant, align the two cutting formation layers, and fasten them with plastic film strips.
Support the potted rootstock with bamboo pole. After about 2-3 months, when the interface between the two is more active, cut it from the lower part of the scion!
In recent years, people often propagate nocturnal flowers by cutting.
First of all, we have to choose annual to biennial seedlings. And prepare the cutting matrix, which should be clean, vermiculite, perlite, sandy soil, peat soil, etc. note that the cutting medium should not be too thick, which will cause the temperature of the medium not to rise when cutting, and affect the cutting root.
Then, when the young plants are determined, the scion should be cut on the seedlings. When cutting, the scion needs to be cut into an inclined plane, because this can increase the area of water absorption, and also pay attention to taking several leaves, because the plants need to carry out light cooperation to produce organics.
Then, put the branch in a dry place, wait for the cut to dry, and then you can proceed to the next step!
Finally, when cutting, insert the cuttings into the growth medium of nocturnal flowers. Pay attention that the upper and lower parts must not be reversed, or they will not germinate!
Then, just wait for it to take root and sprout. According to the latest data, the survival rate of cutting is 90%.
