Apropos this summer my cuttage 20 come a fig, survived finally only 3, talk about my a bit experience and lesson to consult in order to offer everybody here.
Fig divides a place in Chinese greater part is almost all the year round OK cuttage, but fig not quite cold-resistant, reach in the Huanghe valley with boreal area, winter makes step of good prevent frostbite as far as possible.
Main component is fig cuttage dry branch cuttage (before sprouting to spring after autumn fallen leaves) and take Xie Luzhi cuttage (5 it is better August to come) . Dry branch (do not take leave) cuttage is a few simpler, talk about the cuttage that take a page only now.
On May 30, I am looked at in roadside seeming is " in violet " a few branch were folded on the tree (photograph one) , the most of every leaf area is cut off after coming home, divide next for 11 paragraphs small, it is water is inserted first (photograph 2) , cut looks to cicatrization basically after more than 10 days (photograph 3) but still do not have rooted, 9 days are lain between to change second clear water during, next instead sand is inserted (photograph 4) , survive finally only two (photograph 5) .
I took a few branches again on June 12 branch of fig of not famous breed, still survive finally only by afore-mentioned method (because twice time-interval has 10 only,come day, think last of cuttage can survive, so cuttage method is mixed last identical. ) .
Sum up experience lesson:
One, cuttage matrix must clean, breathe freely, show water, the satisfaction that can have compared the vermiculite that sells on n and net these conditions. General clay and muck are bad, the bacterium is too much and easy sodden root, and permeability is poor.
2, after be being inserted dene, water cannot too much, water rots much more easily.
3, be in many and rooted previously, greenery must use polybag to wait cover, lest water portion is not supplied,go up vimineous dry.
4, adopted branch is inserted dene directly or insert 3 days two with respect to instead sand in water only best, the reason with my cuttage low survival rate basically is half forthcoming month was inserted in water, branch has decayed a bit ability instead sand inserts evidence. I discover fig water is inserted rooted more difficult than Chinese rose or oleander, the means that inserts with water so is bad.
