Chinese Cabbage Flower Cutting Detailed Steps
Main content introduction: Detailed steps of Chinese cabbage flower cutting and knowledge about the fastest method for root formation in cutting, grass and flower aspects, next the site editor will introduce to the netizens.
The propagation methods of Chinese cabbage flowers include seeding and cutting, and division. Generally speaking, seeding can be carried out from spring to autumn, and it takes half a year from seeding to flowering; cutting and division are carried out from January to June. The following introduces these two methods in detail.
I. Seeding Propagation
1. Timing
The seeding of Chinese cabbage flowers can be done from spring to autumn. If sown in July, they can bloom during the Spring Festival. Generally speaking, sowing in summer will result in a longer day length and earlier blooming, but the flower stems will be thin and long, and the plants will be short and not very ornamental. Therefore, it is best to sow Chinese cabbage flowers early so that the resulting plants will be strong and lush, and the sowing time should not be later than August.
2. Soil
The soil for sowing Chinese cabbage flowers can be a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and fine yellow sand in a ratio of 3:2:5. A layer of coarse sand can be placed at the bottom of the pot as a substrate before planting to increase soil aeration and drainage.
3. Method
Before sowing, select a shallow pot specifically for sowing, spread the coarse sand and soil into the flower pot, and then evenly broadcast the Chinese cabbage seeds on top of the soil. After sowing, cover with soil to a depth of about 1-2mm, then water thoroughly with a flower sprayer, cover with plastic wrap to keep moist, move to a semi-shaded area for maintenance, and keep the soil moist during the maintenance process. Seedlings should emerge in about a week.
II. Cutting and Division Propagation
1. Timing
Cutting and division are also common propagation methods for Chinese cabbage flowers, usually carried out from January to June. It takes about 5-6 months to bloom, at which time the tender buds from the roots can be used for division propagation.
2. Method
Take the root buds or axillary buds after flowering of the Chinese cabbage as cuttings, prepare river sand soil, insert the cuttings into the river sand soil, water thoroughly at once, and then move to a shaded position for maintenance. It takes 20-30 days to root, and after 5-6 months of cultivation, it will bloom. At this time, the tender buds from the roots can also be used for division propagation.
The above detailed introduction about the Chinese cabbage flower cutting steps and the fastest method for root formation in cutting is hoped to bring some flower knowledge to green plant enthusiasts.
