Preparations before cuttage of pseudo-ginseng. Steps for cuttage of pseudo-ginseng. With the increasing demand for Chinese medicinal materials, pseudo-ginseng, as an important traditional Chinese medicinal material, its planting area is also expanding. pseudo-ginseng is not only of high medicinal value, but also in strong market demand. Cutting is one of the important methods for reproduction of pseudo-ginseng. This article will introduce in detail the cuttage method of pseudo-ginseng and help you master this reproduction skill. Preparations before cuttage of pseudo-ginseng 1. Select high-quality seedlings: Choosing healthy, disease-free pseudo-ginseng plants as seedlings is the key to successful cuttage.
2. Prepare cuttage substrates: Commonly used substrates for pseudo-ginseng cuttage include river sand, perlite, vermiculite, etc., which require good drainage and strong air permeability.
3. Determine the cuttage time: Generally choose to carry out cuttage in spring or autumn, when the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to the rooting of the cuttage seedlings. Sanqi cuttage Step 1. Select cuttings: Select twigs with a diameter of 1-2 mm from healthy Sanqi plants as cuttings, with a length of about 10-15 cm.
2. Cutting the cuttings: Cut the lower end of the cuttings into a bevel and the upper end into a flat surface to increase the water absorption area.
3. Treatment of cuttings: Soak the lower end of the cuttings in rooting hormone solution to promote rooting.
4. Cuttage: Insert the processed cuttings into the prepared cuttage substrate to a depth of about 3-5 cm.
5. Watering: Water thoroughly immediately after cuttage to keep the substrate moist.
6. Shading: In the early stage of cuttage, shading should be carried out in order to prevent the water from evaporating too quickly.
7. Management and maintenance: Regularly water and fertilize, keep the soil moist and ventilated, and prevent pests and diseases in a timely manner. Precautions for pseudo-ginseng cuttage 1. Cutting treatment: Cut the lower end of the cutting into a bevel and the upper end into a flat surface, which is conducive to the rooting of the cutting.
2. Cutting time: Choose the appropriate cutting time to help the cuttings take root.
3. Substrate selection: Choose a substrate with good drainage and strong air permeability, which is conducive to rooting of cuttings.
4. Watering management: Keep the substrate moist to prevent cuttings from losing water.
5. Shading treatment: In the early stage of cuttage, shade treatment is carried out to help the cuttage take root.
6. Management and maintenance: Regularly water and fertilize, keep the soil moist and ventilated, and prevent pests and diseases in a timely manner.
Sanqi cuttage is an effective propagation method. Mastering the correct cuttage method is conducive to improving the success rate of cuttage. During the cuttage process, pay attention to cuttage treatment, cuttage time, substrate selection, watering management, shading treatment, management and maintenance. In terms of etc., I believe you will be able to successfully reproduce high-quality Sanqi seedlings.
