Gardenia can be hydroponic.
Hydroponic gardenia breeding method:
1, select branch
Select robust branch, the branch is good or bad to decide whether the plant can grow robustly. The hydroponic gardenia can choose the thick and strong main stem branch, each main stem to keep more than 3 small branches, this kind of branch hydroponics is more easy to survive, the plant is beautiful.
2, treatment
Gardenia branch may be with insect eggs, in order to avoid hydroponics bugs, hydroponics before, will flower branch with water rinse clean, pay attention to do not damage the epidermis. After cleaning, the flower branch too dense branches and leaves and the leaves bitten by the bugs cut off, when the leaves are bigger, cut half horizontally, prevent the water from evaporating faster, make the gardenia wilt and wither.
3, hydroponics
Will handle the branch cut into the shape of horse ear, put it into 0.1% potassium permanganate solution soak 4-6 hours, take out and insert into the clear water, into the water length for the insertion of the total length of the strip of 1/3.
4, maintenance
Hydroponics gardenia initial best choice of dark container, 1~2 days to change the water, after rooting, can be changed to transparent Container. Or choose to drill some small holes in the foam board, insert the branch in it, and put the foam on the water surface to float.
When the root grows to 1.5~2 centimeters, and there are 6~7 roots on a single plant, you can choose to move it to a pot or plant it in the ground.
Precautions:
When dealing with the branches of gardenia, the incision should be flat, placed in a ventilated place for 1~2 days, and sterilized them before use.
Hydroponics usually root in about 2 weeks, but different varieties vary, be patient.
Dark-colored containers can be lifted up to observe the plant during hydroponics, and remove the rotten roots promptly if they appear.
Yellowing of leaves may occur during hydroponics, ignore it, it does not prevent branches from rooting. Just cut off the yellowed leaves when transplanting.
