There are four ways to propagate osmanthus trees, including layering, cuttings, grafting, and sowing, which are the most commonly used and simplest methods of propagating osmanthus trees. If you grow them at home, most people use cuttings for propagation. There are four methods of propagating osmanthus trees, all of which are the simplest methods commonly used to propagate osmanthus. Placing an osmanthus tree at home can not only purify the air, but also beautify the home environment. Therefore, many flower lovers want to know how many methods there are to propagate osmanthus trees. Generally, the most commonly used propagation methods are layering, cuttings, grafting, and sowing. If we grow it at home, most of us use cuttings for propagation. 1. Layering propagation For layering propagation, we can choose March to April every year. The temperature at this time is most suitable for layering propagation. Generally, 4 to 5 branches can be pressed around the mother plant. Along the natural extension direction of the branches, dig a small trench 20 cm deep and wide, and then press the branches into the trench, fill the trench with fertile soil and compact it. After watering enough, the soil at the pressed branch position will be cultivated into a steamed bun shape. 2. Cutting propagation Cutting propagation is the most commonly used method by flower lovers. Generally, it is best to choose cutting propagation in February when the new buds have just sprouted. We can take a few healthy branches from the well-growing mother plant, remove a few leaves on the lower part of the branches, and leave three or four leaves on the upper part. Then prepare slightly acidic soil and a flower pot with good air permeability, and cut the branches into it. The success rate of cutting propagation is generally 90%. 3. Grafting propagation Another method is grafting. How do you graft osmanthus trees? We need to select a lateral branch from a plant about 20 years old and prepare a female rootstock, because the female rootstock can be used as a graft to quickly cultivate osmanthus seedlings. Then cut off the two buds on the lateral branch and graft them onto the female rootstock. With this method, you can see the osmanthus tree sprouting in the season. This method of propagating osmanthus trees is likely to cause the trunk to be crooked. 4. Seed propagation Seed propagation can be used for landscaping. At the end of May every year, we can pick the ripe fruits from the osmanthus tree, remove its shell and dry it in the shade, then store the seeds in wet sand and prepare the land for sowing. In the spring of the second year, we can take out the stored seeds and sow them in the soil. When the weather gradually warms up in March, they will germinate and take root. |
