Are your clematis growing more and more beautiful? Have you ever thought about how to make them reproduce faster? Don't worry, I'll reveal the breeding secrets of clematis today, so that you can easily become a flower grower! 1. Sowing and breeding: Small seeds, big hope
Sowing and breeding is the most traditional breeding method of Clematis chinensis. In spring, when the sun is shining and everything is recovering, you can choose some strong clematis seeds and sprinkle them in the moist soil. Note that seeds of the cotyledon-unearthed type (smaller achenes and thinner skins) are sown in the spring and will germinate in about 3-4 weeks. However, seeds of the cotyledon-soil type (larger and thicker testa) need to go through a low-temperature vernalization stage before germinating, and the first pair of true leaves are born. Some varieties even require two low-temperature stages, such as rotund lotus. If you are worried about this process, you can freeze the seeds at a low temperature of 0-3 ° C for 40 days, and the germination time will take about 9-10 months. Of course, you can also use a certain concentration of gibberellin to accelerate the germination process. 2. Layered propagation: Branches turn into babies
Layered propagation is a relatively simple method in clematis breeding. In March, you can choose a mature branch of last year, wrap part of the branch with soil or moss, and bury it in the soil. Keep the soil moist and take root in about a year. After taking root, you can dig them out and plant them for maintenance. 3. Grafting propagation: Newborn
Grafting propagation of hybrids is suitable for hybrids such as Clematis chinensis. You can use a single-node scion to cleave to a C.vitalba or C.viticella rootstock. There should be 12 buds on the scion, 5-10cm long under the node. Grafting in a heated and sealed grafting box has a very high survival rate. 4. Plant propagation: The beautiful clematis is a cluster plant, and plant propagation is very simple. When clematis grows into clusters, you can divide them into small pieces, each piece should have enough roots and leaves. Then plant them in new flower pots and continue to maintain them. 5. Cutting propagation: Cutting propagation of branches into new seedlings is the main propagation method for cultivated varieties of hybrid clematis. In July and August, you can select semi-mature branches and cut a branch with nodes as a cutting. Insert cuttings into wet sand bed at a depth of about 3cm. Put it in a warm and dark place for conservation. Spring cuttings can be potted in summer, and autumn needs to wait until the second year. Notes: 1. Water management: Clematis likes a humid environment, but also pay attention to drainage. When planting, the hole depth is generally 40 cm and the hole diameter is 60 cm. In soil with poor drainage, peat soil or humus should be mixed into the bottom of the hole.
2. Light: Clematis likes plenty of sunlight, but is also afraid of strong direct sunlight. Appropriate shade is needed in summer.
3. Fertilization: Clematis needs sufficient nutrients during its vigorous growth period. Compound fertilizers or organic fertilizers can be applied.
4. Pest and pest control: Clematis is vulnerable to pests such as aphids and red spiders. It is necessary to detect it in a timely manner and take measures to prevent and control it.
5. Pruning: During the growth process of clematis, prune yellow leaves and sick branches in time to keep the plant ventilated and transparent.
With these breeding methods, I believe that your clematis will grow luxuriantly and become a beautiful scenery in your home! Come and try it out and let your clematis bloom with the most beautiful brilliance!
