Ipomoea nil breeding methods
Ipomoea nil is a horticultural variety of morning glory. There are two methods for growing Ipomoea nil: buying seeds and buying seedlings. In fact, it can self-replicate, mainly through seeds and cutting propagation. If you want to see the blooming effect of Ipomoea nil after cultivation, it is best to choose seed sowing, or buy seedlings sown from seeds.
Flower friends ask: I have three pots of Ipomoea nil, two pots have many flowers but almost no seeds, and the other pot has few flowers but is full of seed pods. Question 1: What's going on? Does Ipomoea nil have male and female? Today I collected a lot of seeds. Do these fresh seeds need to be treated? Can I directly sprinkle them in the potting soil to grow seedlings?
Ipomoea nil is a horticultural variety of morning glory. It is easy to see morning glories in rural areas, most of which are vines that grow everywhere.
However, Ipomoea nil is a plant with a short stature and a very high blooming rate, which can easily fill the pot with hundreds of flowers at once.
There are two methods for growing Ipomoea nil: buying seeds and buying seedlings. In fact, it can self-replicate, mainly through seeds and cutting propagation.
① Seed propagationFirstly, let's talk about seed propagation. When we grow Ipomoea nil at home. If it is a single-petal variety, it can usually be pollinated successfully by wind after flowering, and the seeds will mature after pollination.
After maturation, its seed pods will turn into a gray-brown color, which we can collect directly.
For the collected Ipomoea nil seeds, they can be collected and sown at any time, but the sowing temperature must not be lower than 15 degrees Celsius.
When sowing, find a small container and put the seeds in it. Then cover it with a thin layer of 1~2 mm of soil, and you can cover it with some vermiculite to keep the soil moist.
After sowing, ensure the temperature is between 20~25 degrees Celsius, with some sunlight, and it will quickly germinate in about a week.
When the seedlings grow and have two or three pairs of leaves, pinch the top to promote side bud growth continuously. Finally, it will form a multi-side bud appearance, blooming together, which is very beautiful.
Ipomoea nil seedlings have a strong flowering performance and grow well, so it is recommended to use seed sowing.
② Cutting propagationThe second method is cutting, which is also very simple as long as the temperature is not lower than 15 degrees Celsius.
When cutting, keep the branches about 5~10 cm long and retain at least 5~6 leaves, and don't dry the cut branches.
What we need to do is cut the branches, find a container, add some water and rooting hormone, and then soak the branches for about 20 minutes.
After soaking, find a soil with good breathability and a small container, such as a plug tray, and directly plant it in the soil.
After the cutting is done, water thoroughly, pour the water with the rooting hormone, and place it in a place with scattered light and good ventilation.
During this period of cutting, make sure to spray the leaves with a spray bottle every day to prevent them from wilting too much, and don't let the potting soil lack moisture. In about 1~2 weeks, it will gradually recover its vitality.
When the roots are well-grown and it starts to grow normally, it means the roots have grown well, and we can then transplant it into a new flower pot for cultivation and blooming.
【Summary】
Ipomoea nil is mainly propagated through these two methods, but the cuttings have weaker roots and a lower flowering performance compared to seed sowing, with fewer flowers.
Therefore, if you want to see the blooming effect, it is best to choose seed sowing, or buy seedlings sown from seeds.
It is very easy to care for, and in daily maintenance, it should be exposed to more sunlight and ensure it does not lack water. Generally, when the soil surface is dry, water it thoroughly.
For fertilizers, use multi-element or high nitrogen content ones during the growing season to promote the growth of side branches and quick shaping.
When you want it to bloom, choose a high phosphorus content and other elements, such as "Flower More No. 2," to promote continuous growth and flowering.
It is a flowering machine. Follow the method described by Xiaoqi, and you can grow it without any problems. If you want to propagate, you can choose reasonably and easily survive.
