Yueji, known as the "Queen of Flowers", is deeply loved for its beauty and fragrance. In order to be able to grow a beautiful moon season at home, many people choose to propagate by cuttings. However, there are some contraindications to be aware of when performing cuttings to avoid adverse effects on the growth of the moon.
First of all, choosing the right time for cuttings is crucial. The best time to plant cuttings is in spring and autumn, when the temperature is moderate and the humidity is suitable, which is conducive to the rooting and survival of the month. Avoid cutting during high temperatures in summer or low temperatures in winter, so as to avoid damage or slow growth of shoots during the lunar season.
Secondly, choosing healthy, pest-free shoots is the key to successful cuttings. Branches with strong growth, no diseases and pests, and full bud points should be selected, and the young shoots of the current year should be selected as cuttings as the cutting material. The success rate of cuttings of old branches or diseased branches is low, and it is easy to be infected with pests and diseases.
In addition, the choice of soil for cuttings should not be overlooked. The suitable soil has good air permeability and good drainage, which is conducive to the rooting of branches in the monthly season. It is recommended to use a substrate for cuttings made from a mixture of materials such as vermiculite and perlite, or to choose loose sandy soils. Avoid using heavy or poorly drained soils to avoid rotting shoots.
In addition, humidity and light control during cuttings are also important factors affecting the survival rate. Maintain proper soil moisture and avoid over-wetting or over-drying; Proper scattered light exposure should be given to avoid direct sunlight to promote the rooting and growth of branches in the lunar season.
Finally, when carrying out monthly cuttings, it is also necessary to pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases. Regularly check the growth of cuttings, and take timely control measures to ensure the healthy growth of cuttings.
To sum up, there are some taboos that need to be avoided when carrying out monthly cuttings, such as inappropriate time, pests and diseases, poor soil, excessive light, etc. Only by paying attention to these details and following the correct cutting method can you improve the success rate of the cuttings and make the beautiful moon season bloom more brilliant colors in your own garden.
