Triangle plum, also known as leafy flower, is a vine shrub plant in the purple jasmine family. The ornamental value of triangular plum is very high, and now it is mostly used as a potted flower for decorating homes. Moreover, triangular plum has the medicinal effect of dispersing dysentery and reducing swelling, and the cultivation area in China is still very large. So how to cut when cultivating triangular plum? Below, the editor will bring you the cutting methods of triangular plum. Let's take a look together!

1. Preliminary preparation

Before cutting, we first need to select the cutting branches, which should be strong and free from pests and diseases. Both tender and old branches can be used for cutting of triangular plum. In general, it is better to use perennial old branches for cutting. Because the growth ability of the old branches of triangular plum is relatively strong, the healing tissue is fast, and the survival rate is also relatively high compared to the young branches. And if the old branch carries latent flower buds, it will begin to bloom shortly after cutting. Therefore, when selecting branches, it is important to choose old branches with strong growth ability.

2. Branch treatment

After selecting the branches, it is not possible to directly cut them. We need to process the branches in order to further improve their rooting rate. The length of each branch should be maintained at around 20 centimeters, and then 2-3 leaves should be retained at the top, and excess leaves should be cut off. Prevent excessive water consumption from affecting the survival rate of cuttings. Then trim the bottom of the cuttings into a flat cut to facilitate the growth of the cuttings. Soak the cuttings in the rooting agent for about a quarter of an hour to increase the rooting rate. After removing and drying, the cuttings can begin.

3. Timely cutting

Before cutting, prepare a cutting substrate that is mixed with coarse and fine river sand, with good permeability and strong water retention ability. Then, after processing the cuttings, insert them directly into the substrate by about 2/3, and then pour sufficient water. Then, it is necessary to prevent direct sunlight and provide a certain amount of shade. If cutting is done in spring and autumn, it is necessary to water it appropriately once a day. In summer, due to the high temperature, it is necessary to water twice a day, while in winter, it is necessary to control the amount of water poured. Generally, cuttings can take root within about a month, but if the temperature is too low, it can affect the survival rate of triangular plum.

4. Precautions

Before cutting, we need to disinfect the substrate to reduce the bacterial content. It can be disinfected by exposure to sunlight, watering with boiling water, or using disinfectants such as potassium permanganate to ensure the normal growth of triangular plum. Then, attention should be paid to the fertilization after cutting, and immature farmyard manure and high concentration fertilizers should not be applied, as they can easily burn the roots and cause the death of triangular plum cuttings. Therefore, the principle of fertilization should be to apply more and a small amount. Then it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the temperature, which should not be too high, otherwise the water evaporates too quickly and affects the rooting of cuttings. Finally, pay attention to the moisture content of the substrate, which should not be too high as it can easily breed various bacteria and cause yellowing of the plant leaves.

The above is a brief introduction to the cutting methods of triangular plum. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
