Friends who like vanilla, do you want to breed your own vanilla? The propagation method of vanilla can be divided into three main types: cuttings, splitting and sowing and propagation, of which the propagation of separate plants is the simplest and fastest, next time try to challenge it! Vanilla propagation methods can be divided into three types.
Cuttings propagation: Cuttings propagation is mainly to cut the branches of vanilla to cut branches, and root powder can be dipped to improve the success rate when cutting, and should be avoided in the hot summer. Successful cutting techniques include choosing the right plant site, choosing clean soil, avoiding water loss, and more.
The so-called correct cuttings can choose the part where the woody plant is about to lignify, or the robust branches of the herbaceous plant, and the young shoots of the herb cannot be selected. One way to avoid water loss is to remove too many leaves from the cuttings you want to cut, just leave the top two leaves on the top of the branches. In the hot summer, you can also soak the branches in a bright place, about two weeks to get the roots intact, and then take out and plant in the soil, when the soil should remain moist.
As long as the thin white root system grows, it means that the cuttings are successful.
Propagation: Many plants can be propagated in separate plants, which is the most efficient and simplest way to reproduce, usually growing in the center of the bottom. Creeping vanilla plants can be propagated in separate plants, such as lemongrass, ezo onion, pandan and various mints, which are very suitable for this method.
The method of dividing the plant is very simple, first remove the soil at the root of the mother plant, divide the mother plant by hand or blade, and then plant the divided sub-plants into the pot or open ground one by one. In the process of segmentation, the plants will inevitably be damaged, and after a period of time, they will repair themselves, do not worry; but the plants that have just been divided are weak, do not let the sun shine directly immediately, first put in a bright place for a few days, and then move to the full sun environment.
Seedlings that are branched from lemongrass with dense growth and well-developed roots.
Sowing and propagation: When sowing, pay attention to the season in which each vanilla plant is suitable for sowing, especially the germination temperature stated on the seed packaging. Because the seed size of each vanilla plant is different, usually the large seeds are sown one by one, and the small seeds are sown. For small seeds, you can fold the white paper in half and put the seeds on it, and gently flick the white paper by hand when sowing, so that the seeds can be spread more evenly.
When sowing, we should pay attention to keeping the soil clean and properly moist, otherwise it is easy to get sick or moldy, reducing the success rate. After germination, six leaves can be transplanted into small pots, and after about a month, the heart can be plucked to promote the growth of the branches and leaves.
