How to breed osmanthus fragrans and matters needing attention.

There are many propagation methods of osmanthus fragrans, mainly including grafting propagation, hardwood cutting, softwood cutting, meristem propagation, sowing propagation and so on. Osmanthus fragrans seeds can be propagated, and natural offspring propagation is seed propagation, and cutting propagation is the fastest.

Hydroponic propagation of Osmunda japonica

If Osmanthus fragrans is to be successfully hydroponically cultivated, branch selection is the first priority. Before starting hydroponics, we should first find the disease-free and robust mother plant, cut off healthy and insect-free branches from it, obliquely cut the bottom incision, and remove some unnecessary branches and leaves to prepare for future hydroponics.

Reproductive time of Osmunda japonica

The high cutting survival rate of Lagerstroemia indica mainly depends on the selected cuttings. When hardwood is cut down, it can be cut down in March-April. At this time, the survival rate of cutting is relatively high. Softwood cutting can be carried out in July and August when the survival rate of cutting is relatively high.

Propagation method of Osmunda japonica

Division propagation of Osmunda japonica

When the buds germinate in early spring in March, the buds of Lagerstroemia indica roots can be separated from the mother plant and planted separately. According to the growth situation, 2-3 plants or single sprout seedlings can be planted, and they can survive after watering.

Cutting propagation of Osmunda japonica

Hardwood cutting: Hardwood cutting is carried out from late March to early April before branch germination. Annual thick branches, length 15 cm, inserted into a loose and fertile seedbed with good drainage. The terminal bud is exposed, watered and covered with plastic film for moisture retention. When the seedlings grow to 20 cm, remove the film and put on a sunshade net. Softwood cutting: Softwood cutting is usually carried out in July-August every year. This time is the vigorous growth period of new branches. First, select a lignified branch with the length of 10 cm and leave two or three leaves on it. Then, insert them into the soil, water them, and build a shade net to shade them. It will take root and sprout in about twenty days, and then the film will be uncovered.

Sowing and propagation of Osmunda japonica

Osmanthus fragrans can be sown in March, directly drilled, or covered with a layer of soil, seeds and grass on the seedbed to keep warm and promote germination. After about ten days, the seeds germinated and grew two leaves, and the grass was uncovered immediately and weeding was carried out after the rain. A small amount of fertilizer will be added in June and July.

Matters needing attention in the reproduction of Osmunda japonica

Lagerstroemia indica has strong adaptability to the environment and is easy to cultivate, but it is suitable for planting in deep and fertile sandy loam. It is best to keep the soil slightly moist. Drainage should be done well in rainy season, and the environment should be protected from light. If it is dark, it will grow weak and have small branches and leaves.
