The embarrassment sums up in one sentence: the difference between the seedlings and cutting seedlings of woody flowers.

Differences between seedlings and cuttings of woody flowers:

Today, the editor will explain the differences between the seedlings and cuttings of woody flowers: introduction to green plants and flowers, let's get to know them together.

When our flower friends go to the flower shop to buy flowers, they all hope to be like an expert, so that the flower shop owner doesn't realize that we are beginners at a glance and ask for an exorbitant price. Or recommended some poor quality flowers.

But if we want to prevent the boss from seeing that we are beginners, in addition to being cautious in speaking, we still need to improve our flower knowledge.

Flower friends who often read articles know that there are also rose seedlings sold online, and many flower friends will ask before buying seedlings:

Are your roses seeds or seedlings?

In fact, just from this sentence, it can be known that this flower friend is definitely a beginner, or a novice in flower cultivation.

Why?

Currently on the market (C-S), the roses are all rose seedlings, cuttings or grafted seedlings, and rose seeds are very rare, and it is not recommended to start from sowing in home cultivation.

As one of the woody flowers, roses are mainly propagated by cutting and grafting. Although roses can also be propagated by sowing, there are many disadvantages in sowing propagation.

Here, only woody flowers are used as an example to illustrate.

Differences between seedlings and cuttings of woody flowers:

Firstly, let's briefly introduce the characteristics of seedlings. Seedlings, also known as true seedlings, are seedlings grown from seeds.

1. -- Variability --

Since the seeds are combined from the female and male parents, the seeds carry the genetic genes of both the female and male parents, so the true seedlings will first have variability.

Therefore, rose seed propagation is mostly used in the cultivation of new varieties. And the roses sold in the market are all cuttings or grafted seedlings.

2. -- Delayed or difficult blooming --

In addition to variability, true seedlings also have a very big problem, which is the delay of blooming time, or even no blooming.

Roses are still good, generally, they can bloom after half a year of sowing, but it takes 2-3 years to meet the standard flower shape.

For example, Wisteria needs a long time for the true seedlings to bloom. Generally, it takes 6-7 years for Wisteria's true seedlings to bloom.

So many flower friends will find that the small Wisteria dug from under the big Wisteria tree has not bloomed for several years, which is because of the relationship with true seedlings. And if it is a cutting or grafted seedling, the blooming time can be提前ened.

You might say:

Since sowing is so bad, why do so many people still use it? And the flowers sown by others bloom in two or three months, and it doesn't take as long as you said on the Green Plant Enthusiast website.
