Syringa, as a traditional Chinese precious flower, is deeply loved by people for its unique fragrance and beautiful posture. The propagation methods of Syringa are relatively complex, among which grafting propagation is a common method. This article will introduce in detail the method of Syringa grafting propagation to help you easily cultivate beautiful Syringa.
Principle of Syringa grafting propagationSyringa grafting propagation utilizes the method of asexual plant propagation, combining two different plant bodies through grafting to share nutrients and growth conditions, thus achieving the purpose of propagation. Grafting propagation has the advantages of fast propagation speed and stable offspring traits.
Method of Syringa grafting propagation1. Select grafting materials
Before grafting, first select healthy Syringa plants as scions and rootstocks. The scions should be vigorous branches free of diseases and pests, and the rootstocks should be plants with developed root systems and strong growth.
2. Prepare grafting tools
The grafting process requires sharp grafting knives, grafting film, grafting glue, and other tools. The grafting knife should be sharp and rust-free to ensure the cutting effect during grafting.
3. Grafting operation steps
(1) Select scions: From healthy Syringa plants, select vigorous branches as scions, about 5-10 cm in length.
(2) Cut rootstock: At an appropriate position on the rootstock, make an oblique cut with a grafting knife about 1-2 cm deep.
(3) Cut scion: Cut one end of the scion to match the rootstock cut with an oblique surface about 2-3 cm in length.
(4) Graft: Fit the scion's斜面 closely with the rootstock's cut and wrap it well with grafting film to prevent moisture evaporation.
(5) Fix: Use grafting glue or fine thread to secure the grafted area to ensure the close bonding of the scion and rootstock.
4. Management after grafting
(1) Watering: After grafting, water in time to keep the soil moist, which is conducive to the bonding of scion and rootstock.
(2) Shading: In the early stage of grafting, shade appropriately to avoid direct sunlight to prevent the survival of the graft.
(3) Pruning: After the graft has taken, prune the excess branches on the rootstock to ensure the growth space of the scion.
(4) Fertilization: After the graft has taken, fertilize in time to ensure the normal growth of the plant.
Advantages of Syringa grafting propagation1. Fast propagation speed: Syringa grafting propagation can rapidly expand the planting scale and shorten the cultivation period.
2. Stable offspring traits: The offspring traits of grafting propagation are relatively stable, which is beneficial for maintaining the original quality of Syringa.
3. Strong resistance to diseases and pests: The plants propagated by grafting have strong resistance to diseases and pests, which is beneficial for improving the growth benefits of Syringa.
Syringa grafting propagation is an efficient and stable propagation method. Mastering the correct grafting skills can easily cultivate beautiful Syringa. I hope this article is helpful to you and wish you success on the road of Syringa grafting propagation!
