Attention Points for Bougainvillea Cutting Propagation
Today's sharing: Points to note for Bougainvillea cutting propagation and the best method to propagate Bougainvillea, a discussion on green plants and flowers, following which we will learn together.
Cutting Propagation: Insert healthy Bougainvillea branches into the soil, then cover the outside of the pot with plastic wrap to prevent moisture loss, and finally place the pot in a position with scattered light. High-pressure Propagation: Wrap the branch that needs high-pressure with soil on the outside, then cover it with a plastic bag, and the branch can be planted after roots grow out.
1. Cutting Propagation
Preparations should be made in advance when propagating by cuttings. First is the soil, which can be sandy soil, or some perlite and peat can be added to the soil. Then, a pot should be prepared, with ordinary plastic or ceramic pots being fine. The last and most important thing to prepare during the cutting process is the branch, which should be a healthy branch that grew this year.
Insert the branch 7-8 centimeters into the mud, leaving the part with leaves exposed outside the soil. After the cutting is completed, water sufficiently, then cover the outside of the pot with plastic wrap to prevent moisture loss, and finally place the pot in a position with scattered light.
2. High-pressure Propagation
① The advantage of this method is that it is relatively easy to survive. The branches that grow new roots, as long as the roots are not damaged, can be cut and planted to generally grow into new plants. Another advantage is that it is relatively easy to shape. The branches propagated by high-pressure planted in new pots will quickly grow into beautiful potted flowers if pruned properly.
② First, about two inches above the connection between the branch that needs high-pressure and the mother plant, cut the outer bark about 3 millimeters wide all around with a knife. Wrap soil around the outside of the branch, then cover it with a plastic bag and tie the ends of the plastic bag tightly to prevent moisture loss. If the soil dries out, water should be supplemented in a timely manner. After about a month, you can see many roots growing on the branch, and at this time, the branch can be cut for planting.
The above is a specific introduction to the points to note for Bougainvillea cutting propagation and the best method to propagate Bougainvillea, hoping to bring some flower knowledge to green plant enthusiasts.
