How to propagate French viburnum by cuttings? A detailed guide to the method
French viburnum is a relatively good street greening plant. Because its shape is very similar to the coral tree, it is also known as Japanese coral tree. Generally, French viburnum is mainly propagated by cuttings, with a high survival rate, so the cutting propagation method is widely used for French viburnum in production. So how should the cutting propagation of French viburnum be done? And what problems should be noted?
French viburnum
The cutting seedbed for French viburnum should be chosen as a plot with high terrain, deep soil layer, loose soil and good drainage and irrigation. After clearing grass roots and stones, form a high ridge of about 1-1.2 m, and drench with 10% imidacloprid at 1000 times plus 5% mancozeb at 1500 times to eliminate underground pests and harmful pathogens. After the seedbed is leveled, pat it flat with a spade, pour on 10% decomposed dilute human feces and urine, then spread a layer of sieved burnt mud ash or yellow soil on the bed surface, with a thickness of about 5 cm.
Cutting of French viburnum can be carried out all year round, with late spring and early summer and late summer and early autumn being the most suitable. For winter cuttings, good heat preservation of the seedbed should be done. For cuttings, choose well-grown one-year-old thick branches from young or mature mother trees, which are the easiest to survive. After the cuttings are collected, cutting the cuttings should be done in a cool and sheltered place, and the knives and scissors used should be sharp. When cutting, for branches that have already grown small branches at the nodes, cut off at 0.5 cm above and below the node, then split the stem node into two halves according to the position where the small branch grows, and insert the two branches separately for cutting. For branches that have not grown small branches, 2 nodes must be kept, the upper end cut into a flat cut surface 1 cm above the bud, and the lower end cut into a horse-ear shape or flat cut 0.5 cm away from the bud. After the cuttings are trimmed, dip them in 500 ppm naphthaleneacetic acid or 200 ppm ABT rooting powder for 5 seconds, then immediately cover with wet straw or wrap with agricultural film to prevent drying.
French viburnum cuttings should be inserted shallowly rather than deeply. For small-branch division cuttings, the flat cut surface faces downward, and the depth should be 1 cm of the mother plant entering the soil; for large-branch cuttings, the depth is 1 cm for the next stem node inserted into the soil, and the cutting should be tilted at about 45 degrees to the ground. Shallow and slanted insertion helps the cuttings take root and survive earlier. After cutting, compact the soil around the cuttings and immediately water thoroughly once, so that the lower part of the cuttings fits closely with the soil. The row spacing for cuttings is generally 12-15 cm, and the plant spacing is 6-8 cm. When cutting, the leaves on the cuttings should not be kept too many, nor should they all be cut off. The lower leaves can all be cut off together with the petioles, and 2 leaves are kept on the upper part. Then according to the size of the leaves, each leaf should be cut by another 1/2 to 2/3 to reduce excessive consumption of water and nutrients.
After cutting French viburnum, it is required to build a shed for shading to reduce transpiration and direct sunlight on the seedbed. When cutting in early spring or late autumn, a film should also be added to prevent winter damage. After cutting, it should also be watered frequently to keep the seedbed soil moist, so that the surface soil of the seedbed does not appear white. Topdressing for cutting seedlings can be carried out together with watering, or potassium dihydrogen phosphate plus urea can be used for foliar spraying. Weeding work should be very careful, and do not bump the cuttings. French viburnum has strong stress resistance and few pests and diseases. Occasionally there are stinging moths or aphids, which can be controlled by spraying pesticides such as dichlorvos and imidacloprid.
Cutting propagation of French viburnum
The propagation of French viburnum is mainly by cuttings, and it can also be propagated by sowing. Using cutting propagation is not only simple and easy, but also roots quickly and has a high survival rate, so it is widely used in production.The cutting seedbed for French viburnum should be chosen as a plot with high terrain, deep soil layer, loose soil and good drainage and irrigation. After clearing grass roots and stones, form a high ridge of about 1-1.2 m, and drench with 10% imidacloprid at 1000 times plus 5% mancozeb at 1500 times to eliminate underground pests and harmful pathogens.

Introduction to French viburnum cuttings
French viburnum cuttings. Everyone should be familiar with French viburnum. As far as I know, French viburnum is also called Japanese coral tree and early thousand tree. With this introduction, everyone knows what French viburnum actually is, because French viburnum exists in our lives and silently makes great contributions to our lives. French viburnum cuttings. The knowledge mainly discussed here involves biology. Anyone who has studied biology should understand what cuttings are, so I want to introduce to you the specific techniques of French viburnum cuttings, what problems should be noted when cutting, and so on.
Everyone should be familiar with French viburnum, so let us first introduce its habits. Growth habits: French viburnum has a long cultivation history in the Yangtze River Basin and areas to the south, and likes a warm and humid climate. It grows vigorously in moist and fertile neutral loam, can adapt to acidic and slightly acidic soil, likes light and is also tolerant of shade. The root system is developed, the sprouting ability is strong, it is especially tolerant of pruning, and it is very easy to shape.
Habitat overview: suitable areas: East China, South China; growth habits: shade-tolerant, light-loving plant. Likes warmth and sunlight. Slightly tolerant of shade, not tolerant of cold; growth type: shrub type, evergreen broad-leaved shrub.
Cultivation techniques editing. Garden use: hedges and green sculptures, cultivated in gardens in various places as hedges. Blocks dust, absorbs various harmful gases in the air, and reduces noise in the planting environment.
Propagation and cultivation. Propagation and cultivation are mainly by cuttings, and can also be propagated by sowing . The cutting seedbed should be chosen as a plot with high terrain, deep soil layer, loose soil and good drainage and irrigation. After clearing grass roots and stones, form a high ridge of about 1-1.2 m, and drench with 10% imidacloprid at 1000 times plus 5% mancozeb at 1500 times to eliminate underground pests and harmful pathogens. After the seedbed is leveled, pat it flat with a spade, pour on 10% decomposed dilute human feces and urine, then spread a layer of sieved burnt mud ash or yellow soil on the bed surface, with a thickness of about 5 cm. Cuttings should be inserted shallowly rather than deeply. For small-branch division cuttings, the flat cut surface faces downward, and the depth should be 1 cm of the mother plant entering the soil; for large-branch cuttings, the depth is 1 cm for the next stem node inserted into the soil, and the cutting should be tilted at about 45 degrees to the ground. Shallow and slanted insertion helps the cuttings take root and survive earlier. After cutting, compact the soil around the cuttings and immediately water thoroughly once, so that the lower part of the cuttings fits closely with the soil. The row spacing for cuttings is generally 12-15 cm, and the plant spacing is 6-8 cm. When cutting, the leaves on the cuttings should not be kept too many, nor should they all be cut off. The lower leaves can all be cut off together with the petioles, and 2 leaves are kept on the upper part. Then according to the size of the leaves, each leaf should be cut by another 1/2 to 2/3 to reduce excessive consumption of water and nutrients.
Maintenance and pests and diseases: after cutting, it is required to build a shed for shading to reduce transpiration and direct sunlight on the seedbed. When cutting in early spring or late autumn, a film should also be added to prevent winter damage. After cutting, it should also be watered frequently to keep the seedbed soil moist, so that the surface soil of the seedbed does not appear white. Topdressing for cutting seedlings can be carried out together with watering, or potassium dihydrogen phosphate plus urea can be used for foliar spraying. Weeding work should be very careful, and do not bump the cuttings. French viburnum has strong stress resistance and few pests and diseases. Occasionally there are stinging moths or aphids, which can be controlled by spraying pesticides such as dichlorvos and imidacloprid. French viburnum. French viburnum uses cutting propagation. After cutting, rooting generally begins in about 25 days, and new shoots sprout and grow in about 40 days. After 3-4 months of cultivation, when the seedlings are 15-20 cm tall, they can be removed from the bed and transplanted. The cutting success rate is below 95%.
French viburnum cuttings are very simple for professionals, but for those who do not understand, there are many problems to note. The above introduced related problems to note before, after and during French viburnum cuttings. We need to pay attention to every detail in life. French viburnum is not only for us to appreciate, but also an object for us to learn from. By understanding French viburnum, we can learn a lot! So come on, we can use our eyes to understand the changes in the world!
