How to Propagate Yulan Trees
The editor will explain how to propagate Yulan trees and share some knowledge about the cultivation and propagation methods of Yulan trees. Let's take a look together.
Yulan tree propagation usually takes place in May and June of spring, selecting healthy branches for cutting. With proper care during this period, a new Yulan plant can be obtained. The cutting operation of Yulan is simple to learn and has a particularly high success rate, making it a commonly used propagation method. I will introduce the details below.
1. Cutting Time
The survival rate of Yulan cuttings is highest from May to June each year, as the weather is warm and humid during this season, making it easy for cuttings to root and survive.
2. Preparing Substrate
Before cutting, prepare the cutting substrate by selecting decomposed leaf soil or peat soil, then mix in some pine needles, river sand, and organic fertilizer in a proportion of 5:2:2:1. Mix well to use as the cutting substrate.
3. Selecting Cuttings
Select robust and disease-free branches from a healthy Yulan mother plant. Use a sterilized pair of scissors to cut branches about 15-20 centimeters long. Remove the lower leaves of the branch, retain 2-3 top tender leaves, and cut off 1/3 of the leaves to reduce nutrient loss. Treat the bottom of the branch with a slanted cut, apply rooting powder or wood ash, and place it in a semi-shaded area to dry in the shade.
4. Cutting
Prepare a flower pot of suitable size, fill it with cultivation soil, smooth the soil, and use an appropriate tool to make a few holes, about 4-5 centimeters deep. Insert the Yulan cutting into the hole, firm the surrounding soil, water thoroughly to keep the soil moist, and place it in a shaded area to care for it and wait for it to root.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of how to propagate Yulan trees and the methods of Yulan tree propagation and planting. I hope it can be a modest beginning to help solve your problems with green plants.
