Strelitzia ramensis breeding method

Strelitzia reginae, also known as Bird of Paradise, is a rare and cut flower for the market. The ramets method is the best breeding method for Strelitzia reginae. First, the choice of mother plants. Mother plants should be selected for more tillers, neat leaves; robust adult plants without pests and diseases. The mother plants used for cultivating the ramets in whole plants are generally selected to have more than 4 plants with more than 4 buds and a total number of leaves of 16 or more that have been grown for more than 3 years. After the ramets were used for potting, there were more plants with rooted tillers. Second, ramets time. Whether planted in a greenhouse. Or Daejeon seedlings for potted plants. The suitable time is May-June. Third, the ramets method. 1, does not retain the ramet method of the mother plant, that is, the entire plant to dig ramets. This method is applicable to the need to plant seedlings when there is a need for dense seedlings. Divide whole plants from soil (as much as possible with roots). After clearly distinguishing the root system from the buds and shoot gaps, make a reasonable choice based on the size of the plant to ensure that there are 2-3 shoots per plantlet. Cut the entrance and use a sharp knife to divide the mother plants into 2–3 clumps from the gaps in the rhizomes. The incision shall be adhered to grass ash and dried in a ventilated place for 3-5 hours. Long roots may be cut short and can be planted. In the process of ramets, it should be noted that the root length of the new plant should not be less than 3, and the total number of leaves should not be less than 8-10, and generally 2-3 shoots are required. If the root system is too small or there are too few lateral shoots, several strains may be planted together. 2, retain the parent strain method. If the seedlings grow too prosperous and there is no need for seedlings, do not dig the mother plant and directly plant the plants on the side of the mother plant with a sharp knife into several bundles (the method is the same as above). For potting, only a few well-grown lateral plants should be planted from the mother plant. Plants that are potted and lush can be mixed with a pot for propagation.
