微笑 flowers are evergreen shrubs, mainly cultivated in the southern part of Guangdong, China.微笑 flowers have a strong fragrance, and many flower enthusiasts grow微笑 flower potted plants indoors. They are mostly placed by the windowsill of the bedroom or in the living room. This plant looks beautiful and also has medicinal value, such as beauty and health care. To grow微笑 flowers, you need to know how to propagate them. Let's talk about the propagation methods of微笑 flowers.
I. Cutting Propagation
Most微笑 flower cuttings are done in spring and summer, with spring cuttings done in late March.
Spring cutting method: The terminal branches should be selected from two-year-old plants, with a length of about 12 centimeters. The lower leaves of the terminal branches should be cut off, and rooting hormone should be applied, then inserted into the seedbed. After cutting, it should be properly shaded, and the soil should be kept moist.
Summer cutting method: The branches should be selected from the current year's semi-woody branches, with a length of about 8 centimeters. The cutting method is the same as that in spring. The cutting medium should be disinfected in advance.
II. Grafting Propagation
Grafting propagation is mostly done in spring and autumn. Spring grafting should be done between March and April, and autumn grafting should be done between September and October.
The rootstock is usually chosen to be magnolia, and the grafting method usually uses the cut grafting method. First, select a good-quality one-year-old branch from the upper middle part of the mother plant, which can be two nodes long and leaves should be removed. Then, make an appropriate cut according to the cut grafting method, cover it with a layer of straw after grafting, and expose the top of the branch, avoiding excessive watering. After four weeks, the scion will recover well and new buds will grow. At this time, the straw needs to be removed, and the sprouts on the rootstock should also be removed.
III. Seed Propagation
From late February to early March,微笑 flowers can be sown. They can be sown immediately after collection or stored in sand.
When sowing, the seeds are directly sown in the flower pot. After sowing, cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, about 2 to 3 centimeters thick, and then place the微笑 flower pot in a semi-shaded environment. After a month, the微笑 flowers will sprout. After a period of care, they can be transplanted in the spring of the following year.
IV. Layering Propagation
Layering propagation is not limited by time, but the best results and highest survival rate are in April. For home cultivation of微笑 flower potted plants, 2 to 3 plants are sufficient.
Select strong two-year-old branches, control the length between 15 to 20 centimeters, choose a good position for soil生根, then make a ring-shaped stripping about 0.8 centimeters wide, reaching the xylem. Then put on a plastic bag, tie the lower end securely, fill the bag with moss and cultivation soil, and leave a hole at the top for watering and ventilation.
During the maintenance stage, maintain a certain humidity and water appropriately in the bag. After two months, it can生根, and when the roots are good, it can be transplanted to a pot. After potting, place the微笑 flower pot in a semi-shaded place for two weeks, no need to fertilize, and gradually increase sunlight later.
