Propagation mode of mangji persimmon
1, Mangji persimmon seeds are parthenogenetic and asexual. The main methods are cutting, grafting, layering and branching. Transplanting can be carried out in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Cutting flowers, stems and leaves into the seedbed to make them grow into a complete plant is called cutting. Materials (roots, stems, leaves) used for cutting are called cuttings.
2. Grafting: grafting the buds or branches of one plant onto another plant, so that the two parts can grow into a complete plant. The grafted buds or branches are called scions, and the grafted plants are called rootstocks.
3, layering The method of pressing the branches of the mother plant into the soil and taking certain methods to make it take root, so as to get a new plant is called layering. For example, the branches of Begonia, oleander and mother plant are many and long, and they take root when pressed into the soil. Therefore, layering is often used for propagation. The layering method is easy to operate, does not need special management after pressing, and has a high survival rate. It is a common propagation method for woody flowers.
