What are the propagation methods for green diamond flowers?

Family cultivation using hydroponic breeding technology

Hydroponic flowers are a modern high-tech agricultural project that uses modern bioengineering technology to domesticate plants and flowers so they can grow in water for long periods. Hydroponic flowers have flowers, fish, are clean, beautiful, environmentally friendly, and easy to maintain, so they are called "lazy flowers." Figure 5-9 shows hydroponics sailing smoothly.

Flower hydroponics can be done in the following ways.

1. Nutrient film culture

A shallow 0.5 cm nutrient solution flows through the roots of the flower plant. The nutrient solution is very shallow, so it looks like a film of water, hence the name.

2. Deep liquid hydroponics

Because the liquid layer of the nutrient solution is deep, the flowers are suspended at the liquid surface, their weight is supported by the planting board, and the roots hang in the nutrient solution.

3. Mist training

Suspend the roots in a container and spray the nutrient solution directly onto the flower roots by misting.

4. Bottle plantlets

Stems or branches are taken from the mother plant and inserted into water for rooting.

5. Soil culture and water culture

Requirements of flowers for soil culture: highly ornamental, well formed. After washing the roots with running water, place them in a container and add water that does not cover 1-2-2/3 of the root system. At first, change the water every day, clean the roots and utensils, and reduce this appropriately after one week. After new roots are planted and the plant has adapted to the environment, change the water about every 10 days. This method is suitable for homes, offices, etc.

Techniques for home flower propagation and breeding

There are different types of flowers, and there are also differences in propagation methods. There are two main types: one is the shrub method for bushes and strong perennial flowers; the other is the bulb method for bulbs. .

1. Division method

Division means that the buds or stems at the root of the mother plant are cut and new plants are separated as divisions. This method is easy to operate, has a high survival rate, and the characteristics of the flower remain unchanged,

(1) Suitable flowers for division are mainly herbaceous and clumping flowers, such as aspidistra (pictured), bamboo palm, calla lily, iris, valerian, African lily, canna, asparagus fern, lady palm, stone lotus, etc., as well as bulbs and corms.

(2) The time for division is better in spring and autumn. Some flowers have no seasonal restriction.

(3) Before dividing, prepare toxic sharp small tools, new pots and an appropriate amount of culture soil, a small amount of sulfur powder, or mosquito ash; spray the culture soil with water (moist but not clumping).

(4) Operation steps

1. Orchids, such as orchids, asparagus fern, hosta, spider plant, calla lily, etc.

First, take the flower to be divided out of the original pot and shake it free of soil. Then use a knife to cut vertically on the rhizome, cutting it into 3 to 4 pieces, each with stems, leaves, and roots. Apply sulfur powder or mosquito-repellent ash to the cut surfaces, then plant them into the prepared new pots.

2. Bulbs, such as tulips, gladiolus, tuberose, lilies, etc.

After the flowers open, dig out the bulbs, remove them from the soil, dry the bulbs, store them, and cultivate them at the appropriate time (usually dug in summer and cold-stored until autumn).

3. Large flowers such as lady palm, ginkgo, etc.

Cut off some roots with buds from the mother plant, apply ash or sulfur powder to the cut surfaces to prevent rot, and plant them in prepared pots.

(5) Management after division

1. Water stem flowers, place them in a cool, ventilated place, move them into the sun after a few days, and enter normal management status;

2. Bulbs, corms, and large flowers and trees are managed the same as cuttings.

2. Splitting method

The general parts of bulbous flowers have a strong ability to regenerate underground parts, and a new bulb will be produced each year. This propagation is earlier than sowing and propagation, and the method is simple. The newly produced tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, corms, and roots are naturally separated and planted separately, and they will grow into independent new plants. Figure 5-4 shows a narcissus potted plant propagated by the bulb method.

Depending on the type of flower, meristem propagation has different methods and conditions; some are carried out during the growing season, most are carried out during dormancy or the bulb harvest period and before planting.
