Various propagation of phlox by cuttings

Phloxes are different. The parade of their flowering begins in the spring, when the cobblestones are flashing bright pillows, seizes the whole summer and lasts until October. Probably, there are no people who are indifferent to them. The only difference is that one of these Flowers seem old-fashioned, others are so much in love with them that collections of different varieties and species are collected on their sites.

The paniculate, broad-leaved, spotted, awl-shaped, oblique, Douglas, stoloniferous are only the most common phloxes perennial. Reproduction of these species will be considered in this article.

The division of rhizomes or the cutting off of parts of bushes is the simplest and often used method. The procedure is best done in the spring or early autumn, so that the plants can take root before the winter. It is advisable not to share bushes under 5 years. After digging out the overgrown plant, it must be cut with a sharp knife or shovel in such a way that it does not break a significant part of the shoots. Old roots before planting in a new place should be shortened, so that young people can develop better. And, of course, plenty of water.

Often there are situations when the plant is young, but I want to have several shrubs Or someone asks to share an interesting variety (kind). In this case, the propagation of phloxes by cuttings will help. The only question is how and at what time.

From an adult shrub without damage to it, up to 40% of seedlings can be removed. Reproduction of phlox by cuttings in this way gives almost 100% rooting. In this case, callus (an influx of tissue in the place of damage, which eventually develops roots) is formed about a week later.

In summer and in the beginning of autumn, it is possible to propagate phlox with stem cauliflower. To do this, you need to choose healthy, well-developed shoots. The stem should be divided into parts with two pairs of kidneys. Remove the lower leaves, and cut the lower ones by half. Until the end of July the rooting is high, later the stems begin to grow lignified, only their upper parts can be used. In this case, glass jars will be needed to create mini-greenhouses.

Closer to autumn, the reproduction of phloxes by cuttings is possible, but by those that form in the axils of the leaves, especially after trimming the faded stems. They need to be cut with a sharp knife, put into the root stimulus solution for 5 hours, and then planted on the prepared place, covered with a jar. For the winter, these plantings should be insulated.

Amazing and tenacious phlox plants. Reproduction by cuttings is possible and leafy. Approximately in the middle of the summer, you need to cut the leaves with a scabbard from the middle of the shoot with a sterile blade. Plant them in a canopy to a depth of 1.5 cm, positioning vertically and covering with any non-woven material. Root stimulation by the stimulant is desirable. This method is laborious, because Requires increased attention in the form of irrigation, spraying, ventilation. When drying and accumulating condensate, the cuttings can dry or rot.
