Crabapple cutting methods and timing
Here we share some small experiences in plant cultivation, including the cutting methods and timing of crabapple cutting and the rooting methods of seasonal crabapple. Let's follow the editor for the introduction.
Crabapple is a very beautiful flower, usually cultivated outdoors, and it looks particularly beautiful during the blooming season. However, many people do not know how to propagate crabapple, so if they want to have more crabapples indoors, they can only purchase them from the market. Therefore, learning the propagation methods of crabapple is quite important. Let's go and find out together. This article is compiled by Fresh Flower 24-Hour National Outstanding Florists and Quality Physical Flower Shop Alliance.
【One, How to cut crabapple】
Propagation by cutting is undoubtedly the simplest method among crabapple propagation methods. If you want to propagate at home, it is best to do so in the summer, as the warm weather in summer is conducive to the rooting and germination of crabapple seedlings. When cutting, it is best to choose strong and healthy seedlings, with a length not exceeding five centimeters, which is about three to four internodes.
And the most important thing is that the cuttings must have aerial roots; otherwise, it will be difficult to root and germinate. Therefore, when cutting, first use a chopstick to make a hole in the potting sand, preferably the same thickness as the cutting, and then insert the cutting of the seasonal crabapple into it, about 1/3 of the length of the cutting, with a spacing of about 3 centimeters. Press slightly at the base to ensure good contact with the potting sand, which is considered the completion of cutting.
【Two, Management skills after crabapple cutting】
After cutting, it is best not to water immediately, as this may cause waterlogging in the pot. Therefore, water can be given after five days, and continue until water flows out from the bottom of the pot, then place it in a shady place without further watering. About 10 days later, when the roots are 3-4 centimeters long, the pot can be placed in the sunlight, with watering depending on the weather. It can be transplanted into a pot after a week.
Then, fertilizing can be done every month, but the amount of fertilizer should not be excessive, as it may cause the leaves to turn yellow. And proper watering is also necessary. In no time, crabapple can grow lush and leafy, and it is time for proper pruning to make the crabapple look more beautiful.
【Three, Crabapple propagation methods】
<1. Seed propagation>
Crabapple cutting methods and timing
Crabapple has a long blooming period and is easy to grow, so those who propagate a large number of crabapple seedlings can choose this method. Set the temperature to 21 degrees and provide sufficient water to allow the crabapple seeds to germinate quickly and grow into strong seedlings. When they reach a certain height, they can be transplanted to the field, where they will grow faster in a more spacious environment.
<2. Division propagation>
Just one strong-growing crabapple plant can be divided into several pots. However, it is best to divide the plant when changing the soil. Each one can be transplanted into a new pot. Since they are all complete plants, the survival rate is the highest. You can add more organic fertilizer to promote rapid recovery and accumulate enough nutrients to bloom beautiful crabapple flowers when the flowering season arrives.
<Conclusion>
: Through the detailed introduction above, I believe everyone has learned how to propagate crabapple. By preparing a pot of strong-growing crabapple in advance, you can propagate it. It is best to choose thick branches for propagation, as this will significantly increase the chances of survival. In addition to these two propagation methods, crabapple can also be propagated using other methods, and you can choose different methods for propagation.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to crabapple cutting methods, timing, and seasonal crabapple cutting and rooting methods, hoping to bring some plant-related knowledge to green enthusiasts.
