The basic principles of air press cuttage The application of air press cuttage The steps of air press cuttage The advantages of air press cuttage With the continuous pursuit of plant reproduction technology by horticulture enthusiasts, air press cuttage As an efficient and environmentally friendly breeding method, it has attracted more and more attention. Compared with traditional cuttage methods, air press cuttage has a higher survival rate and reproduction speed. This article will introduce in detail the methods and related skills of aerial branch pressing cuttage to help you easily master this new skill in plant reproduction. The basic principle of aerial branch pressing cuttage, as the name suggests, is to press the branches of plants in the air to produce adventitious roots, thereby achieving reproduction. The key to this method is to stimulate plants to produce callus and then differentiate into Adventitious roots. Suitable plants for aerial press cutting Aerial press cutting is suitable for a variety of plants, such as rose, rose, peony, osmanthus, plum blossom, etc. These plants have strong growth potential and reproductive ability and are suitable for aerial press cutting. Steps of air pressing cuttage 1. Select healthy branches: Select branches that grow vigorously and are free from pests and diseases as cuttage materials.
2. Cutting branches: Cut the branches into 15-20 cm long sections, retaining 2-3 bud eyes.
3. Cutting the wound: Cut an oblique opening at one end of the branch to facilitate rooting.
4. Pressing branches: Press the cut branches on the trunk or support to make them contact with the ground.
5. Fixing: Use string to fix the branch on the support to ensure that it is in close contact with the ground.
6. Covering: Cover the pressing area with plastic film or moisturizer to maintain humidity.
7. Waiting for rooting: It takes about 3-4 weeks. After the branches take root, the branches can be cut off and transplanted. Precautions for aerial branch pressing cutting 1. Choose the appropriate branch pressing time: Branch pressing is usually carried out in seasons when the plant is growing vigorously, such as spring and autumn.
2. Control the density of pressed branches: The number of pressed branches per plant should not be too large to avoid affecting its growth.
3. Pay attention to moisturizing: When covering plastic film or moisturizer, maintain a certain degree of breathability to prevent branches from rotting.
4. Timely pruning: After the branches take root, cut them off in time for transplantation to avoid affecting the growth of the mother plant. Advantages of air pressing cutting 1. High survival rate: The survival rate of air pressing cutting cutting is high, reaching more than 80%.
2. Fast propagation speed: Compared with traditional cuttage methods, air pressing cuttage propagation speed is fast and can reproduce in large quantities in a short time.
3. Environmental protection and energy conservation: Air pressing cuttage does not require a large amount of soil and fertilizer, which is conducive to saving resources.
Aerial branch pressing cutting is an efficient and environmentally friendly plant propagation method with wide application prospects. By mastering the skills and precautions of aerial branch pressing cutting, you can easily achieve large-scale reproduction of plants. I hope this article will help you., I wish you go further and further on the road of gardening!
