The propagation methods of Aquilegia
For many girls, the experience of propagating Aquilegia, the propagation methods of Aquilegia, and the specific related content are as follows:
In this article, we will learn about the propagation methods of Aquilegia. Generally, the propagation of Aquilegia mainly focuses on division and sowing. In this article, we will mainly discuss these two propagation methods.
For potted Aquilegia, division is the main method of propagation, usually carried out in September to October in autumn. After the tubers have been dormant over the summer, they are dug up, the soil is shaken off, and they are separated by hand along their natural growth. Each separated part must have a section of root neck and 1-2 new buds, as well as 3-4 small tubers. If conditions permit, they can be sterilized and disinfected before being slightly dried and planted.
The planting should not be too deep, just covering the root neck is fine. Planting too deep is not conducive to leaf emergence; planting too shallow is not conducive to root growth. Control watering before seedlings emerge, keeping the soil moist, and then gradually increase the amount of watering after the seedlings are even.
For seed propagation, the normal sowing period for Aquilegia is autumn, preferably in October when the temperature drops below 20°C. However, the temperature varies significantly from year to year, and the germination time is not consistent. If the seed germination temperature can be controlled between 10°C and 15°C, the seeds will germinate in about 20 days. Early sowing, with temperatures above 20°C, will not germinate until the temperature drops to the germination level, and the time required for germination after sowing is longer; late sowing, with insufficient vegetative growth before winter, will result in smaller flowers in the following spring; sowing too late, with temperatures below 5°C, will not germinate until February of the following year, when the temperature rises.
