How to propagate chrysanthemum cuttings
Let's talk about how to propagate chrysanthemum cuttings and the techniques for cutting and growing green plants and flowers. Next, the editor of this site will introduce to you.
As is well known, Jìn Táo Yuanming had a special love for chrysanthemums. A line from his poem, "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern篱笆, leisurely looking at the southern mountains," elevated the artistic conception of chrysanthemums to the highest level. Since then, whenever mentioning the solitary pride and integrity of a famous person or facing the cold frost, chrysanthemums are always unavoidable. Chrysanthemums symbolize purity and have a refined fragrance, making them very popular among literary scholars. Today, I will give you a brief introduction on how to propagate chrysanthemum cuttings.
One, Selecting cuttings
The best cuttings are those that have been growing for a long time and have a higher degree of lignification. Cut off the lower branches and leaves, leaving the branches about 15CM in length, and keep a few leaves and the top bud on the upper part. Soak the selected cuttings in a diluted solution of lightly disinfectant for half an hour, then dry them in a well-ventilated area for later use.
Two, Cutting method
It is best to cut in spring and summer. The soil is recommended to be mixed with four parts of decayed leaf soil, four parts of garden soil, one part of compost soil, and one part of sandy soil. Level the surface of the soil, insert a hole about 8CM deep with a thin stick, and then insert the cutting into the hole. Press the soil around the cutting tightly, spray some water, and place it in a well-ventilated area. It can take root in about one or two weeks.
Three, Daily maintenance
After it has survived, it can enter the normal maintenance stage. Chrysanthemums love light and can be placed in a well-lit area to promote photosynthesis. However, they should be shaded when the light is intense. Apply a small amount of light water-soluble fertilizer every two months. Watering should follow the principle of "water when dry, and keep moist."
