Common Propagation Methods of White兰花
Today's sharing: knowledge about the propagation of White兰花 flowers, common propagation methods of White兰花, if there are any mistakes, please correct them!
White兰花 is commonly propagated by layering and grafting. Layering is done from June to July using the aerial layering method, keeping it moist, and roots develop in about two months. Grafting is done using two-year-old Xinyi as the rootstock, selecting branches of White兰花 that are the same thickness as the rootstock during the plum rain season. After 60-70 days of grafting, they heal and are separated from the mother plant to form seedlings.
The propagation of White兰花 can be done by grafting, layering, cutting, and sowing, but the most commonly used methods are grafting and layering.
Grafting Propagation
There are two methods of grafting: approach grafting and cutting grafting.
Approach Grafting: The time for approach grafting can be throughout the growing season from spring to autumn, with most being done from April to July. The best place for approach grafting is 70 centimeters from the ground. After binding, wrap with a ball of mud and tie with leaves to prevent erosion by rainwater. It can be cut off after about 60 days. Approach grafting is a method that is relatively easy to survive but not as vigorous as cutting grafting.
Layering Propagation
There are also ordinary layering and high branch layering methods.
① Ordinary Layering: It is best to do layering from February to March, cut half the depth of the base of the branch to be layered, then make an incision upwards, insert a piece of tile in the middle, gently press it into the soil without breaking it, insert a U-shaped thick wire into the soil to secure it and prevent it from tilting, then heap soil on it. When spring layering, it can be cut and transplanted after roots and buds have emerged.
② High Branch Layering: Before the start of the summer heat, select strong and disease-free young branches (1.5-2 cm in diameter) on the mother plant, cut a slit at the base of the branch, then cover it with a bamboo tube or a bottomless pot filled with culture soil, tie it with a thin rope outside, carefully not to touch it, spray a small amount of water frequently to keep it moist, and new roots will form by the following May, at which time they can be removed and planted.
