　　ZiBao has a small plant, although it is a succulent, but the plant is small and grows slowly, so it is ideal for small pots. There are many varieties of ZiBao and they are full of character, making them ideal for tables, balconies, desks, windowsills and so on.

ZiBao

　　Zi Bao like semi-shady and ventilated place, like loose fertile, well-drained sandy loam as cultivation substrate, if there are conditions, the potting soil used can be made from rotting leaves, fine sand, garden soil; hardy, overwintering temperature is not less than 5 ℃; summer can not be exposed to the sun, Zi Bao sun exposure will be scorched, sun out of the black spots and thin leaves, not bright green and other poor growth conditions, drought tolerant.

　　Although Zi Bao grows slowly, but its base often sprouted many small buds, so the propagation of more for the division of plants, can also be sown. Zi Bao plant is small, slow-growing, full of characteristics, varieties, suitable for small pots planted in the window sill, desk, desk, balcony, etc., is more ideal for the table side of the cultivated plants.

　　Broad-leaved ten Gonglao is a collection of leaves, flowers, fruit of a plant, its cultivation history is long, and the whole plant can be used as medicine, so in the folk is a very popular plant. In the market, the broadleaf ten Gonglao also has a very good prospect, Xiaobing will introduce you to the broadleaf ten Gonglao’s three propagation methods.

Broadleaf ten Gonglao

　　First, sowing propagation method

　　Fruit in late November before maturity, December fruit, first do not thresh, pile them up over a period of time after ripening, and then rubbed off the peel, the seed panned clean, dry winter sowing or mixed with wet sand Zang winter, spring sowing in March of the following year in the open ground seedbed open ditch strip sowing, germination temperature 20-22 ℃. Row spacing 15-20cm, ditch depth of 7cm, mulch thickness of 2-2.5cm, late April began to sprout out of the soil should be even if the cover grass uncovered, mouldy rain after the erection of reed curtains or sunshade net cane shade. There are also places to take hole sowing, hole spacing of 20cm or so, each hole sprinkled seed 4 or so, mulch 6cm or so; can also be stored in the clean seed germination in wet sand, to be its seed cracks white, and then open the furrow sowing, the seedlings are more neat and consistent. Hole sowing saves seeds, keep the soil moist after sowing, about 2 weeks time can be seedling. Early spring of the next year, transplanted once, still continue to cane shade, in the cultivation of a year can be out of the nursery. Live seedlings will not flower until 4-5 years after planting.

　　Seedlings need to be cultivated in the nursery bed after 2-3 years, when the seedling height of 30-40cm can be transplanted, generally transplanted in March-April each year, arid and semi-arid areas in the autumn in September-October transplantation is good. Before planting, dig out the seedlings and cut off part of the leaves to reduce the evaporation area. Make a good ground, make a 130cm wide bed, the length of the bed according to the number of miaomu.w.cn seedlings and the terrain to determine the specific. The rows of plants are spaced 30cm apart according to digging a pit to plant a plant, fill the soil to the ground level, watering root water, water seepage in the cover of a layer of moisture barrier soil.

　　Second, split-plant propagation method

　　Broadleaf ten Gonglao planting in mid-October to mid-November or spring in late February to late March. Broadleaf ten Gonglao’s stem was clumps of strong upright upward growth, weak branching force cuttings propagation need to cut off the stem of the strip, so that the mother plant can not be temporarily ornamental, so more winter pots to change the soil, the whole clump of plants cork to open up the pots planting, after the survival of the original stem for short cuts to promote the root system to sprout new tiller strips and the formation of a new plant clumps. Transplantation in spring and autumn can be, stay in the soil or with mud ball, maintenance management is simple, pay attention to pruning dead branches, keep the plant tidy.

　　Third, cuttings propagation method

　　Ten broad-leaved Gonglao cuttings propagation should be carried out in late March, take the winter deciduous robust stem to do spike, according to a 15cm section cut open, inserted into the loose fertile sandy loam soil, into the soil depth of 10cm, and set up reed curtains or sunshade net cane shade. In the north should be taken in June to July shoot cuttings, cuttings 10 to 12cm long, retain the apex of a compound leaf, the apex of the compound leaflets cut off, only the base of the 2 branches of leaflets and cut off 1/2, with vegetative sand inserted into large pots, into the soil depth of 5cm, sugar cane shade maintenance, after autumn can grow new roots, before the winter seedlings into pots, and then moved into the cold room over winter.

　　Gin leaf coral flowering period is relatively long, but the flowers are not large, brightly coloured gin leaf coral still has a certain status in China’s landscaping. Now, it is still widely used in the landscape and large potted plants.

Gin Leaf Coral

　　Gin Leaf Coral is commonly propagated by cuttings, which are taken in spring. Gin Leaf Coral is an excellent garden ornamental flowers, cuttings test results show that: hard cuttings have a high survival rate, the number of main roots, root length; spikes with CPD rooting powder 400mg/kg treatment, river sand as cuttings substrate, branch spread 16 ~ 20d and then cut into spikes cuttings the best results.

　　With the development of the economy, people’s requirements for landscaping continue to improve, the more widely used gin coral, gin coral because of its beautiful leaves, flowers, long flowering period, easy to propagate and maintain the characteristics, in the garden hair extraordinary application.

　　Artificial cultivation of Bird cherry is not difficult, artificial propagation of Bird cherry can be used in the method of seeding, as long as you understand the growth habit of Bird cherry, Bird cherry seeding survival rate can also be increased a lot. I will introduce you to the seed propagation of thick plum, like thick plum friends can learn together.

Bird cherry (details)

　　1, seed collection

　　Choose 20 ~ 30 years old, good dry shape, no pests and diseases of the mother tree, around early July when the drupe skin from the green to yellow collection in time, otherwise easy to be eaten by birds. Recovered fruit spread indoors after ripening for 4 to 5 days, to the skin soft, rubbing off the skin, rinsed, cooled indoors for 1 to 2 days, indoor sand storage. However, because of the hot season, improper storage of seeds is very easy to mould, to pick and sow as appropriate, the peel does not have to deal with. Seed rate of about 20% of the drupe, 1,000 grains weighing 50 grams, per kilogram has 22,000 seeds. Nursery germination rate of up to 65%.

　　2, seedling

　　Light-loving, cold-tolerant, shallow-rooted, in slightly acidic and neutral, calcareous soil can grow. It is advisable to choose loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam as a nursery. When preparing the ground, apply 1500 kg of rotted organic fertiliser per mu, 50 kg of phosphate fertiliser and 10 kg of urea. Strip sowing, strip spacing 20 ~ 25 cm, sowing at the end of February, 7.5 ~ 10 kg of seed per mu, after sowing cover wolf coat. When sown with the harvest, the seedlings can emerge in mid-March of the following year. To be most of the seedlings out of the ground, to uncover grass in a timely manner, uncovering grass too late easily caused by high feet, bent foot seedlings, affecting the seedlings.

　　July to August for the seedling growth period, after September gradually slow, late October topped off the leaves. The current year’s seedling height of 70 to 100 cm, ground diameter of 0.6 to 0.8 cm, the middle of the seedling above the purplish red, 1.5 to 20,000 seedlings per mu.

　　Peach Leaf Coral is easy to cultivate and manage, and because it is shade tolerant, it is ideal for keeping indoor as a decorative plant. Artificial propagation of peach leaf coral usually use cuttings and sowing method, spring is the peach leaf coral growth season, appropriate pruning can make peach leaf coral faster growth.

Peach leaf coral

　　Peach leaf coral commonly used cuttings and seed propagation. Cuttings propagation, in May-June period is best, choose the current year of robust and full peach leaf coral branches. The base with a few 2-year-old branches, about 15 cm long, leaving 2 leaves at the top, inserted into the sand bed. Peach leaf coral branches inserted after the need for shade, timely watering, to maintain a certain air humidity and temperature. In 20-25 ℃ conditions, about 50 days after insertion of peach leaf coral will be rooted.

　　Peach leaf coral can also use water plug method, simple and convenient, high survival rate. For cuttings difficult to survive other varieties of peach leaf coral, can be used as a rootstock for grafting propagation of live seedlings. Seed propagation, winter fruit maturity, remove the pulp and wash the sand. Sowing in the spring, because the seeds have physiological maturation period, fewer seedlings that year, the second year a large number of seedlings.

　　Wild peony is a genus of wild peony in the family Paeoniaceae, and its flowering period is from May to July, and it is a common flower in acidic soil. Artificial propagation of wild peony can be done by sowing seeds and taking cuttings, usually in the spring.

Wild Peony

　　As wild peony prefers warm and humid climate, it is slightly drought and barren tolerant. Therefore, it is better to cultivate it in sunny, loose soil with a lot of humus. The wild peony is widely distributed in most of the provinces and districts of Jiangnan, in the open field slopes, in the scrub forests beside the mountain roads, and under the sparse forests. It likes shade, suitable for growing in acidic soil, tolerates barrenness, has good resistance to pests and diseases, and is managed in a loose way. Need to prune in time after flowering to control the height and shape of the plant. It can be planted in the forest. Seedlings grow slowly, and cuttings should be taken in spring and summer for fast rooting.

　　Wild peony is propagated by seeds. Sow seeds in spring from late March to early April, mix the seeds with grass ash or fine soil, evenly spread on the seedbed, cover with fine soil for 2cm, then cover with grass and water. Each 1h㎡ sowing amount 22.5 ~ 30kg, the temperature is above 25 ℃, about 20d seedling, after the seedling uncovered cover grass. Seedling height of about 15cm, according to the row spacing of 40cm × 40cm open holes, each hole planted 3 plants.

　　Bromeliads have a relatively strong reproductive ability, but because they were once introduced by many countries and are widely distributed around the world, they are listed as one of the world’s top 100 invasive alien species. Artificial propagation of bromeliads is not very difficult, so I will give you a brief introduction.

Bromeliad

　　Bromeliads are extremely capable of asexual reproduction. Stolons growing from axillary buds form both new plants. The stolons of the mother plant and the new plant are very fragile and can become new plants after being broken off. Spring will be separated from the mother plant or cut from the mother plant axillary buds into the water, can be rooted, very easy to survive. It can also be propagated by sowing, but it is not often used. Fertiliser can be applied during the growth period to promote growth. Potted plants should be fertilised with humus or pond mud, and filled with water after planting.

　　Fengyinglian like to grow in shallow water and fertile soil in the pond, water depth of about 30 cm is appropriate. China’s provinces mostly use the mother plant to prevent wintering, stocked in the pond in the spring. High temperature season, breeding rapidly. Its various cultivation management with other aquatic flowers.

　　Jade Weng is not difficult to cultivate, but Jade Weng is native to Mexico, so you need to pay attention to the amount of watering, so as not to over-watering Jade Weng death. Jade Weng is a popular variety of cactus ball category, I will introduce you to several common methods of propagation of Jade Weng.

Jade Weng

　　Sowing

　　Sowing propagation in April to June, germination suitable temperature of 15 ~ 25 ℃, 7 days after sowing can germinate. Seedlings grow for a period of time and then divided into loads, several seedlings planted in a pot. Watering should be appropriate, the soil can not be too dry. When the tops of the seedlings grow burrs, they can be divided into pots, 1 pot 1 seedling. It is best to do this in the spring. Overwintering temperature of seedlings is above 10℃.

　　Cuttings

　　Outdoor cuttings in April to October is appropriate, summer heat and rain can not cuttings. However, cuttings can be taken in the greenhouse all year round. The cuttings are made of river sand with a small amount of saw. The full and full of the seed ball as a spike, if the seed ball is too small, easy to rot. The cut surface of the spike should be smooth, the cut surface coated with charcoal powder or sulphur powder and put in the shade, dry for 2 to 3 days, until the juice is dry, the cut surface can be cut after shrinkage. Do not insert too deep, the incision slightly into the soil is appropriate. After insertion in the shade, and spray water to keep the soil moist, 40 days or so can be rooted and live.

　　Grafting

　　Rootstock with cactus or measuring tape (details), scion with the ball, using the flat grafting method for grafting. Don’t water after grafting, put it in a cool place. Grafting method, see the relevant part of the golden amber.

　　The plant prefers a sunny, warm and humid environment, and its flowering period is from March to April, when the leaves bloom first or the flowers and leaves bloom together, which is very beautiful when it blooms. It has a strong adaptability to slightly acidic soils. Artificial propagation of the Yu Li can be divided, sowing, cuttings, pressure, grafting and other methods, the production of the main planting reproduction is mainly.

Plum

　　First, split-plant reproduction

　　The strong cork, cork many, it is appropriate in the spring before the emergence of the mother plant root cork seedlings with a sharp knife to separate, each plant can be divided into 3 to 5 plants, and then transplanted can be. Generally two years after the survival of visible flowers.

　　Second, cuttings propagation

　　Can be in February to March cuttings, select the annual stout tiller of the lower section, cut the length of 10 cm to 15 cm and with two or three buds as a spike, inserted into the soil 2 / 3. cuttings watered, maintain high air humidity, 1 month or so can be rooted. Because of the roots of Yu Li easily produce adventitious buds, with the root of the propagation effect is also better.

　　Sowing propagation

　　Spring and autumn seasons can be sown, spring can be in late February to late March, autumn can be in September to mid-October, but autumn sowing is good. Seeds can be collected in early June, pile ripe after the seeds are washed and dried, to autumn sowing, or seeds for low-temperature sand, the following spring open field sowing can be. The amount of seed sown per square metre of about 10 grams can be, sowing depth of 4 cm to 5 cm, after sowing covered with a layer of fine soil, and straw or other objects to cover the surface, to maintain soil humidity, so that it emerges neatly.

　　Fourth, grafting propagation

　　Grafting is mainly used “T” shaped budding, selecting robust 2012-year-old excellent Yu Li varieties as scion, rootstock can be used robust apricot, plum, peach, cherry and so on. When taking buds, first in the buds of the upper 1 cm with a sharp knife cut into, through the xylem cut to the buds under 1 cm, take off the buds with a wet towel package. Carve out a “T” shape on the rootstock, set the bud into the rootstock, align the upper end with the formation layer, and then tie it with plastic tape. The graft has a high affinity and is relatively easy to survive, so untie and cut the rootstock after it has survived. Plum is also often used as a rootstock for peach, apricot and plum.

　　It prefers hot, dry and sunny environments, and has a strong adaptability, but does not tolerate acidic soils. Chrysanthemum is a good wind and sand plant, usually planted as an annual herb, the flowering period for the July-October, artificial propagation can be sown and cuttings.

Chrysanthemum

　　Sowing Propagation

　　Sowing is often carried out in summer, and the best way to sterilise the substrate for sowing is to put it into a pan and fry it hot, so that any pests and diseases can be scalded to death. Soak the seeds in warm water (about the same temperature as washing water) for 3 to 10 hours until they absorb water and swell up. For very common seeds that germinate easily, this work can be left out. For tiny seeds that are difficult to pinch up by hand or other tools, you can wet the end of a toothpick with water, stick the seeds one by one on the surface of the substrate, cover the substrate 1cm thick, and then put the sown pots into the water to a depth of 1/2 to 2/3 of the height of the pots, and let the water slowly soak up. For seeds that can be clamped up by hand or other tools with larger seeds, put the seeds directly into the substrate, according to the 3 × 3 cm spacing spot sowing. Cover the substrate after sowing with a thickness of 2 to 3 times that of the seed grain. After sowing, you can use a sprayer or a fine hole shower to drench the sowing substrate, and then drench it later when the potting soil is slightly dry, but still pay attention to the watering strength should not be too strong, so as not to wash up the seeds; Management after sowing: after sowing, when the seedling emerges from the soil, you need to remove the film in a timely manner, and let the seedling accept the sun’s rays every day before 9:30 a.m. or after 3:30 p.m. Otherwise, the seedling will grow very tender; After most of the seeds come out, it is necessary to properly inter-seedling: pull out the diseased and unhealthy growing seedlings, so that the seedlings left behind have some space between each other; when most of the seedlings have grown 3 or more leaves, they can be transplanted into pots.

　　Second, cuttings propagation

　　The branches used for cuttings are called spikes. Usually combined with the work of plucking, the thick, disease-free tops of the cuttings as the spike, directly with the tops of the cuttings. Cuttings should pay attention to the following management: Temperature: the optimal temperature for rooting scion is 18 ℃ ~ 25 ℃, below 18 ℃, scion rooting is difficult, slow; higher than 25 ℃, scion cuttings are susceptible to disease infection and rot, and the higher the temperature, the greater the proportion of rot. Cuttings encountered after the low temperature, heat preservation measures are mainly used to cuttings with film pots or containers wrapped up; cuttings after the temperature is too high temperature, cooling measures are mainly to give the scion shade, to cover up the sun’s 50 to 80%, at the same time, to the scion for spraying, 3 to 5 times a day, sunny days with higher temperatures sprayed more often, cloudy and rainy days with lower temperatures and higher temperatures, spraying is less frequent or do not spray.
