How to breed green apple and taro

Its propagation is usually carried out by cutting and branching, all in spring. When cutting, it is necessary to make the cuttings slightly tender, and cut half of the leaves on the cuttings, so as to reduce water loss. The plant spacing was 5 times 10 cm. After planting, the soil was watered and moistened. It took more than one month to take root. The branch is to use the blade to cut the bud root block of the root system of the mother plant and plant separately, which has a higher survival rate.

1. Cutting time: cutting is generally carried out from the end of spring to the beginning of summer. At this time, the temperature is about 20 ℃, which is more suitable for plant rooting and growth, and the survival rate can be higher

2. Treatment of cuttings: when cutting, the tender part at the top shall be used as cuttings, and the strong plants shall be selected and cut into about 10 cm segments. Then cut half of the upper leaves, which can reduce nutrient loss. After treatment, dip the rooting powder to prepare for cutting.

3. Prepare the soil: it likes to grow in the soil with good permeability and drainage. When cutting, it can use river sand and peat soil to mix as the substrate, which is more conducive to plant rooting.

4. Cutting maintenance: cutting can be carried out after preparation. When cutting, the distance between plants and rows should be 5 times 10 cm. After cutting, water appropriately, moisten the soil, and spray more water to improve the humidity. About more than a month to take root.

Branching is the most commonly used method of propagation, and the survival rate is higher than cutting. The branch is also carried out in spring, and the blade is used to cut the root buds of the root system of the mother plant and plant them separately. Attention should be paid to the maintenance in the shade after planting, and the new roots should be maintained normally after growing.
