The success rate of propagation of Pistacia weinmannifolia is high. The propagation method suitable for family flower keepers is Cuttage Propagation. Of course, there is no problem in sowing propagation. I will introduce you one by one!
In spring and autumn, the cutting seedling can be carried out, and the flowering period is in spring.
In the dormancy period, we can choose the one-year strong branches of the mature mother tree, which are cut into 12-15cm cuttings. There is a certain distance between the upper and lower incisions and the young buds (the distance between the upper incisions and the young buds is 1-1.5cm; the distance between the lower incisions and the young buds is 0.3-0.5cm).
It is recommended to select the soil with good permeability, medium water holding capacity, neutral pH value or slight acid as the substrate for Cuttage Propagation. Here, it is recommended to use permeable river sand or perlite with high success rate.
It's best to plant Pistacia weinmannifolia seeds in autumn and spring. According to Xiaobian's recommendation, the success rate of sowing in autumn is higher than that in spring.
The first is the acquisition and treatment of seeds: the mature period of Pistacia weinmannifolia seeds is very close to the scattered period. Once they are mature, they will fall off when encountering wind and grass, which makes it difficult for us to collect them or suffer from birds and animals' pecking.
So when the seeds begin to mature, they are immediately picked from the trees and processed.
The seeds of Pistacia weinmannifolia are wrapped in juicy pulp, which is easy to be polluted by mildew. It is necessary to retouch the fruit and mash the peel to wash it in water. Dry in the shade after threshing and discarding impurities, and store in a ventilated and dry place.
The sowing process of Pistacia weinmannifolia is very simple. Before sowing, soak the seeds in the warm water with the initial temperature of 20 ℃ for a day (24 hours), take them out after water absorption and expansion, accelerate the germination under the warm and humid conditions, and then sow them!
