How to propagate tulips through cutting
Let me tell you about how to propagate tulips through cutting and the small gardening knowledge of tulip propagation methods. Below, the editor will provide a detailed explanation for you.
Tulips are relatively common plants in life, easy to cultivate, and also have high ornamental value, so they are loved by many people. Moreover, many people even grow them at home. However, not many people know how to propagate tulips through cutting. If you want to grow a pot of tulips, you have to buy them from the market. Next, let's follow the editor to learn about the propagation methods of tulips.
【One, How to Propagate Tulips through Cutting】
If you want to propagate tulips through cutting, you first need to prepare a pot of strong-growing tulips, then select a leaf from it to propagate. However, the survival rate is not high because this method is quite difficult and麻烦 to care for, and it is only considered alive when the tulip has re-rooted and sprouted.
Moreover, the leaves should be cut into moist soil for care. During the care period, it is necessary to avoid the phenomenon of root rot. Therefore, it is obviously not an easy task to propagate tulips well, which is relatively麻烦. Therefore, during the cultivation period, it is necessary to fertilize and water regularly to allow the tulips to root and sprout faster.
【Two, Tulip Propagation Methods】
<1. Bulb Division>
This method is the main method of tulip propagation. In early June, dig out the dormant tulip bulbs from the soil, dry them, and grade them by size, then store them in a cool and dry place. From September to October, take out the bulbs for division. Small bulbs need to be cultivated for 2-3 years before they can bloom.
And after planting, water thoroughly immediately. If the soil is dry before winter, water again. In early spring, after the soil thaws and the axillary buds germinate and emerge from the soil, fertilize once every two weeks with calcium nitrate or potassium nitrate 2%-3% liquid fertilizer, combined with watering. Stop watering and fertilizing three weeks before dormancy.
<2. Seed Propagation>
Seed propagation is suitable for large-scale planting and is often used to cultivate new varieties. First, select good seeds and mix multiple categories for sowing. Sow in indoor soil pots in October, cover with plastic film outdoors, and they will germinate the following spring. They bloom in March and April.
This method is used for large-scale propagation and breeding of new varieties. After the tulip capsules mature, harvest them in time, hang them in a cool and well-ventilated place to let the top of the fruit crack open, and the seeds fall out. The seeds do not have a dormancy period and require 7-9°C low temperature for 30-40 days to germinate, with a germination rate of up to 85%. Generally, sow in the open field in autumn, and after overwintering, the seeds germinate from the soil, forming bulbs by June, and then dig them up for storage after dormancy. Plants propagated using this method can take 5-6 years to bloom.
<Conclusion>
Through the detailed introduction above, I believe everyone now knows how to propagate tulips through cutting. In fact, propagating tulips is very simple, but the care period is relatively麻烦, and it is only considered alive when the tulip has re-rooted and sprouted. Therefore, friends who don't know how to propagate can follow the tulip propagation methods mentioned above to easily learn tulip propagation skills.
