Also known as golden plum, wax plum, wax plum flower, and fragrant plum, wintersweet is distributed in mainland China, Korea, America, Japan, and Europe. It belongs to the S wintersweet genus of the wintersweet family, which is a deciduous shrub. The love of the Chinese for wintersweet is beyond expression. Planting a wintersweet tree at home can reflect the owner's noble and upright spiritual quality, different from the excellent aesthetics of the ordinary. Let's together learn about the cutting methods of蜡 plum branches and the planting methods after the cuttings take root.
One, Cutting Time
The cutting time for wintersweet can be after the winter flowers bloom, but the best time is in December.
Two, Cutting Selection
Select one-year-old or two to three-year-old branches from the base of the wintersweet that are thicker than 1 centimeter. Use a disinfected cleaver to cut along the direction of the branch growth from top to bottom, and after cutting, trim the top of each branch to about 20 centimeters as cuttings.
Three, Cutting Treatment
After cutting the cuttings short, trim the hairy parts and flatten them. Then, place the cuttings flatly end to end, tie them up with a string, spray water on the bundled cuttings until half wet, and then wrap them in a thick plastic bag and seal it. Place it in a dark place with a temperature of 12 to 16℃ for about 20 days.
Four, Conducting Cuttage
After more than 20 days of placement, the lower part of the cuttings will grow white tissue, and the branches will sprout new buds. This is when you can proceed with the cuttage. The method is simple: make a few small holes in the river sand or vermiculite with a stick, insert the cuttings into the holes, and bury them with river sand. After burying, water thoroughly, cover the cuttings with plastic wrap, move them to a warm corner for careful care, and wait for them to root.
Five, Transplanting
When the wax plum cuttings have rooted and the root system is relatively healthy, they can be transplanted into flower pots for cultivation. The transplanting method is to place the cuttings into a prepared flower pot, layer by layer adding well-drained, loose, and fertile culture soil. After the culture soil covers the roots, press the soil with your hands and water once to settle the roots.
