Michelia Hedyospatha is native to the Java region of Indonesia, and is now widely cultivated in Southeast Asia, with China mainly growing it in greenhouses and southern regions. Michelia Hedyospatha has a fragrant scent and is a famous ornamental tree species. There are many ways to propagate, which can be done by cutting, but the most common and frequently used methods are grafting and seeding. Let's take a detailed look at several propagation methods for Michelia Hedyospatha.
1. Propagation by cutting
In May to August, choose strong branches, about 10-15 cm long. Trim the leaves at the top of the branches, place them in a cool and well-ventilated area to dry, and after 1-2 days, insert them into the prepared soil, place them in a diffused light and well-ventilated area, and wait for them to germinate.
2. Propagation by grafting
Before grafting, cut a mature and strong branch from a Michelia Hedyospatha mother plant that has been growing for more than a year, use magnolia as the rootstock, cut a grafting joint on the rootstock, and also cut a grafting joint of the same width as the rootstock on the cut branch. Pay attention to disinfect the wounds of the rootstock and the branch to avoid infection. Then insert them together, align the two joints, and wrap the grafted wound with a special grafting film.
3. Propagation by seeding
Using the seeding propagation method, wait for the seeds of Michelia Hedyospatha to turn red and crack open, then harvest and store them. Disinfect them the following spring and then sow them. They will germinate in about a month, and when the seedlings grow to about 10 cm, they can be transplanted into pots.
4. Propagation by layering
Choose a branch that is free from diseases and pests and has good growth, dig a trench next to the plant, apply rooting powder on the branch, wrap the stripped part of the branch with slightly moist soil, then wrap it with a layer of film, tie it securely with a string, place it in the trench, and it will root and sprout the following spring.
