Potted plants are a popular choice for home decoration and office greening, not only beautifying the environment but also purifying the air. High branch layering is a common propagation method for potted plants. Through this method, we can cultivate more ornamental potted plants. This article will introduce the types of potted plants suitable for high branch layering technology and their care points.
Principle of high branch layering technology:As the name implies, high branch layering is a method of layering propagation on the higher branches of plants. This method can promote root formation and create new plants. The advantages of high branch layering propagation include high survival rate, fast propagation speed, and retention of the superior characteristics of the parent plant.
Types of potted plants suitable for high branch layering:1. Red Maple
Red Maple is an excellent choice for high branch layering propagation, with its bright leaf color and high ornamental value. Under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, the survival rate of red maple layering is relatively high.
2. Crape Myrtle
Crape Myrtle has high ornamental value, with flexible branches that are easy to layer. The propagation technique of crape myrtle is simple, and the survival rate is also high.
3. Flowering Quince
Flowering Quince has beautiful flowers and high ornamental value. When propagating flowering quince through layering, it is necessary to choose vigorous branches to increase the survival rate.
4. Kumquat
Kumquat fruit is golden yellow and has high ornamental value. Propagating kumquat through high branch layering can retain the superior quality of the parent plant.
5. Jasmine
Jasmine has a strong fragrance and is a favorite potted plant for many enthusiasts. High branch layering propagation of jasmine can make it reproduce quickly and enhance its ornamental effect.
Key points for caring for high branch layered plants:1. Choose the appropriate layering time: High branch layering is generally carried out in spring or autumn when the temperature is suitable for root formation.
2. Layering method: Bend the branch to the ground, fix it with soil or stones, and maintain a certain pressure to promote callus formation on the branch.
3. Watering and moisturizing: During the layering period, keep the soil moist to facilitate root formation but also avoid waterlogging to prevent branch rot.
4. Fertilization: Apply nitrogen fertilizer appropriately during the layering period to promote branch growth.
5. Pay attention to pest and disease control: During the layering period, closely monitor the occurrence of pests and diseases and take timely preventive measures.
High branch layering is a simple and feasible propagation method for potted plants, suitable for a variety of ornamental plants. Through the introduction of this article, you should now understand the types of potted plants suitable for high branch layering and their care points. In practice, try and summarize more, and you will certainly be able to cultivate more ornamental potted plants.
