I. fig cutting method 1, land selection
Many people don't know how to cut figs, but it's not difficult. The best planting soil for figs is sandy soil, which is moist but not easy to accumulate water. The planting land should be flat and the soil should be loose. Cover the bed with plastic wrap to reduce water evaporation. When the light is strong in April and May, shading nets or other methods should be adopted to avoid direct sunlight, which can improve the survival rate of cutting. If the soil is fertile and cuttings are carried out under sunny conditions, the survival rate can be greatly improved.
2. Cutting and ear picking
It is best to carry out cutting after autumn every year and before the sap flows out in the next year, which is about 65438+February to February of the next year. Try not to cut before 65438+February or after March, when the survival rate of cutting will be very low. Do not cut immediately after cutting, which will affect the survival rate of cutting. Generally, it takes 3 months to store cuttings in the sand after cutting.
3. Selection of cuttings
Cuttings should be cut as long as possible. It takes a long time for fig trees to branch, and the development of branches varies with the time of long branches. Branches that grew before early autumn were fully developed when the leaves fell. At this time, the branches are older and can be cut into cuttings with only 2 buds. Branches developed in mid-autumn are not mature enough and their internodes are short. At this time, they should be cut into cuttings with at least 4 buds and the length should not be less than 15cm.
4, cutting processing
After the cuttings are selected, a flat mouth should be cut at the upper end of the cuttings about 1 cm away from the bud, and a 45-degree oblique mouth should be cut below the cuttings to increase the contact area between the cuttings and the soil, which is conducive to the rooting of the cuttings, and can clearly distinguish which side is the head and which side is the root, so as to avoid the phenomenon of inverted cuttings. In order to speed up the rooting of cuttings, the cuttings can be soaked in water 12 ~ 24 hours. If the cuttings lose a lot of water, the longer the soaking time.
5, branch cutting
When cutting, try to make an oblique angle of 30 ~ 45 degrees with the ground, which is beneficial to the survival of figs. When cutting, the cuttings should be inserted into the soil, with a length of 1/3, and it is best to have nodes exposed outside the soil. Compacting the soil around the cuttings to prevent the cuttings from toppling, then spreading a layer of sand with a thickness of 1cm on the surface around the cuttings, and then watering.
6. Shade and moisturize
Newly cut fig seedlings are afraid of strong light, so they should be covered with plastic bags and tied tightly with ropes. Two small holes should be punched in the plastic bag at the top, so that plants can breathe easily and avoid strong light. Observe the water condition every two weeks. If the soil is dry, it should be replenished in time to keep the soil moist. After the branches grow new leaves, the plastic bag can be removed and the fig cutting is successful.
Second, the maintenance points of Figure 1, lighting and watering
Figs like light. When you grow figs at home, you should put them in a well-lit place. If the light time is insufficient, the fig will be bare and fruitless. It should be placed in a well-lit place, so as to bear delicious fruit. Figs need high water, so they should be watered frequently. Especially in hot summer, water should be poured once a day. Don't spray leaves with water when the sun is strongest at noon to avoid burns. Just water it twice a month in winter.
2, fertilization and pruning
Figs are in great demand for fertilizers. Generally, fertilization should be done two or three times a month. If the fertilizer is thin, apply it several times. It is best to choose NPK fertilizer. Especially when the fruit is ripe, it is necessary to apply fertilizer twice more to provide the nutrients needed by the fruit. If you want to bear more fruits, you should always prune the fig tree. Fig trees grow very fast. If not pruned regularly, branches and leaves will absorb nutrients, resulting in small fruits and few fruits. The height of fig trees should be kept at1.5m. ..
Conclusion: Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has understood the cutting method and maintenance points of figs. I hope everyone can eat the fruit of the fig tree they planted.
