Rooting method of cuttings of Fraxinus chinensis

1. Soak in rooting liquid: Soak the cuttings in rooting liquid. This is an important means to promote rooting of cuttings during the cutting process. This method is not limited to cuttings, but can also be used for seed soaking, fruit ripening, and storage. In cutting applications, indolebutyric acid can be used as a rooting liquid. Soak for half a day to a day, and then directly insert it into the cutting bed.

2. Spraying rooting liquid: In order to promote rooting of cuttings, in addition to soaking in rooting liquid, you can also spray the cuttings with rooting liquid, but you need to control the concentration of the rooting liquid, and the spraying method is also very important. After mixing the rooting liquid in an appropriate proportion, spray it evenly on the base of the cuttings until the cutting site becomes moist.

Management of Fraxinus chinensis cuttings

1. Before planting wax trees, level the planting bed, remove debris, rinse with water, and make sure there are no large gravel on the upper sand layer. Then disinfect it. Generally, potassium permanganate solution is used for disinfection with a concentration of about 2%.

2. Before the fraxinus chinensis officially takes root and grows new leaves, we do not need to expose it to sunlight. Just place it in a cool and ventilated environment for maintenance. After the fraxinus chinensis takes root, it can be exposed to the sun.

3. Do not apply fertilizer before the ash tree takes root. You can apply fertilizer after it takes root. You can apply basal fertilizer to the ash tree. Fertilizing the ash tree is divided into basal fertilizer and topdressing. The basal fertilizer is divided into spring application and autumn application. Spring basal fertilizer needs to be decomposed organic fertilizer. If it is not completely decomposed, it will easily lead to secondary growth. Autumn basal fertilizer should be applied around the autumnal equinox, which is conducive to the growth of new roots.

4. Water the Fraxinus chinensis once when grafting to keep the soil moist. Water again when it is almost dry. It is best to keep the soil slightly moist but without water accumulation.
