Triceratops is a common ornamental plant that is loved by people for its colorful flowers and unique leaf shapes. So, how do you make the Triangle Plum thrive?Today, we are going to talk about the propagation method of the Triangle Plum, so that the beautiful Triangle Plum can bloom more brilliantly in our garden.
A brief introduction to the propagation method of the Triangle Plum
1. Propagation by cuttings
Cuttings are the most commonly used propagation method of Triceratopus triangulata, with high survival rate and simple operation. Cuttings time is generally carried out in spring or autumn, cut the semi-lignified branches of the year, choose healthy triangular plum branches, ensure that the incision is smooth, free of diseases and pests, 10-15 cm long, retain 2-3 leaves, remove the lower leaves, cut the base of the cuttings obliquely at 45 degrees, soak the rooting powder solution for 1-2 hours and then cut in a loose and breathable sand bed, keep the soil moist, and take root in about 20-30 days.
2. Strip propagation
Strip propagation can also be called ramification propagation, which is a method of propagation by using the regenerative ability of the branches of Triangle Plum. The stripping time is generally carried out in spring or autumn, select strong branches, ring peel part of the bark, wrap it with moss or vermiculite, tie it tightly with plastic film, keep it moist, it can take root in about 20-30 days, and cut off the branches after rooting and cultivate it separately. When the seedlings grow to a certain height, they can be transplanted into pots for maintenance.
3. Sowing and propagating
Sowing is one of the propagation methods of Triangle Plum, but the survival rate is low, and the seeds that are generally used for breeding or large-scale propagation of Triangle Plum are smaller, and usually require special treatment to germinate. Sowing is generally done in the spring, where the ripe fruit is collected and soaked in warm water for a period of time to soften the peel. Then, peel off the peel and remove the seeds. Next, the seeds are wrapped in gauze and placed in a moist environment for germination. In about a week or so, the seeds will sprout. When the seedlings grow to a certain height, they can be transplanted into pots for maintenance.
The above is the commonly used propagation method of Triangle Plum: seed propagation, cuttings propagation and strip pressing. Each method has its own characteristics and applicability, and we can choose the right method for propagation according to our needs. Hopefully, these breeding methods will help you when breeding the Triangle Plum.
