Cassia interpolation method
Today, I will introduce some knowledge about Cassia propagation, specifically the method of Cassia interpolation. The following is a detailed introduction for you.
Many flower enthusiasts think of propagating Cassia when they see it by the roadside. In this article, we will look at the specific Cassia interpolation method illustrations. With the combination of images and text, flower enthusiasts will find it easier to understand. I hope that all flower enthusiasts can successfully propagate Cassia.
1. First, understand the timing for Cassia interpolation. The best time for Cassia interpolation is from May to June. The rooting temperature for Cassia is 25°C to 28°C. If the temperature is too low, you should cover it with a plastic film, increase sunlight, and raise the seedbed temperature. If the temperature is too high, you should pay attention to shading and lift one corner of the plastic film to ventilate and cool down or spray to reduce the temperature.
The above is the best time. If flower enthusiasts miss this time, they should pay attention to controlling the temperature appropriately.
2. The selection of branches, it is best not to choose branches from the previous year, but to use the current year's semi-woody new branches, as this helps in fast rooting. Fully woody branches are not impossible to survive, but the rooting is slower and the survival rate is lower. Cut them into lengths of 10 to 12 centimeters, with the lower end cut into a horseshoe shape close to the node, and leave 2 to 3 leaves at the top.
3. The medium for interpolation can be pure perlite, but it should be noted that if you only use perlite, you need to cover it with a film because moisture easily evaporates. Other media can also be used, such as sand, peat, etc.
4. Generally, it takes about 30 days for the roots to grow. When interpolating, do not use fertile media. It is best to use simple soil, such as pure sand or perlite. Also, after the roots have grown, do not use too fertile media for potting, as the new roots cannot withstand fertilizers, which is not conducive to root growth and survival.
ps: When potting, be careful that using a large pot for seedlings is not good, as the soil does not dry easily and can easily cause root rot. It is recommended to use a pot with a diameter of 20 centimeters, planting 2 seedlings in one pot, spaced apart to minimize root damage when dividing pots in the future.
The above introduction to the Cassia interpolation method (illustrations) is brought to you. I hope you all like it!
