How do keels reproduce? How and when?

The main propagation mode of keel is cutting propagation. For it, the best cutting season is in the growing season, that is, spring and autumn. Theoretically speaking, these two seasons are the easiest to survive, because the climate and environment at that time are relatively suitable, and they can grow vigorously after logging.

Common breeding methods of keel

Cutting propagation of keel

1. The most common propagation mode of keel is cutting propagation with high survival rate. It is necessary to choose robust stem segments as cuttings, and the best length is about 30cm. After incision, wrap the incision with plant ash and put it in a cool place until the wound is dry.

2. In order to make the keel take root more easily, it needs to be fully dried for about seven days when it is maintained in the shade. Suitable growth environment is needed when cutting, and watering is needed in time after cutting is completed. Then it can be maintained in a cool place and will soon take root and sprout.

3. Pay attention to the keel when cutting, and be sure to use a suitable substrate to ensure that the soil is loose, transparent and fertile. In the growing period, in order to increase its survival rate, it is necessary to fertilize regularly. Generally, it can be applied once a month, and it can take root in about one and a half months.
