First, cutting osmanthus fragrans 1 the fastest rooting method, cutting time
The suitable season for cutting osmanthus fragrans is generally from April to July, and the climate in May and June is the most suitable for cutting osmanthus fragrans, because the most suitable temperature for rooting osmanthus fragrans is about 25 ~ 28℃. If the temperature is not enough, plastic film can be used to cover the soil where osmanthus fragrans is cut to raise the temperature.
Step 2 prepare the matrix
The soil for cutting osmanthus fragrans should be loose, breathable and well drained, preferably slightly acidic sandy soil, which is more conducive to the rooting and future growth of osmanthus fragrans.
3. Cutting treatment
Select healthy and robust branches on the mother plant of osmanthus fragrans, and trim them to 10 ~ 12 cm long, and the cutting time is best in the morning and evening or cloudy days. Choosing semi-lignified branches will be more energetic. Cut the lower end into a horseshoe shape, leaving only 2 ~ 3 leaves at the top.
4. Cut into the soil
Before cutting, you can dip the lower end of the cuttings in rooting powder, insert 2/3 of the cuttings into the soil, and then pour water once, preferably covered with plastic film, so as to control the temperature and humidity and make the cuttings of osmanthus take root faster.
5. Maintenance and rooting
After cutting, the soil humidity should be controlled at about 50%, and the cuttings should be properly shaded. The cuttings should be placed in a place with sufficient sunlight scattering, so that they cannot be completely shaded and cannot accept direct sunlight. At about 10 day, potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be applied to the leaves to promote their growth. Generally, it has already begun to take root in about 20 days, and basically takes root and begins to grow leaves in 30 days. This is the fastest way to cut osmanthus roots.
Second, the maintenance skills of osmanthus fragrans after cutting 1, reasonable watering
The newborn osmanthus only needs to keep the soil slightly moist. Too much watering will affect the growth of new roots and even make them rot. Generally, water can be poured once a week in spring and autumn, once every two days in summer1~, and once every two months in winter. You can also spray water mist on the blades at ordinary times to keep humidity.
2. Plenty of light
Osmanthus fragrans is a kind of plant with long sunshine time, which needs enough sunshine to grow normally. If you stay in the shade for a long time, its branches and leaves will be slender and weak, and it is difficult to form flower buds, let alone bloom.
Step 3 control the temperature
The optimum temperature for the growth of Osmanthus fragrans is about 15 ~ 28℃, but when Osmanthus fragrans just takes root, it can't accept high temperature environment and needs to be placed in a cool and ventilated place, otherwise it will wither easily. If the temperature is 5℃ in winter, it is necessary to move osmanthus indoors to prevent freezing and frostbite.
4. Quantitative fertilization
During the growth of osmanthus fragrans, pancake fertilizer can be applied once every half month, which is helpful to the growth of osmanthus fragrans branches. Before the flowering period of osmanthus fragrans, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied every 10 day or half a month to make osmanthus fragrans accumulate nutrients and bloom.
Conclusion: After reading the above contents, I believe everyone should know that if the cuttings of osmanthus fragrans take root quickly, they can naturally take root faster as long as they master the skills and maintain them reasonably.
