If you want to sow Lagerstroemia indica, which planting and cutting method is better?
The flowering period of Lagerstroemia indica is very long, about eight months, and its adaptability is also very strong. It can be said that it can survive in any environment, and the requirements for soil are not very high. But if it is planted in a fertile place, it will be more beneficial to it. The main breeding methods of Lagerstroemia indica are sowing and cutting.
If it is sowing, you can choose to sow in April. When planting, sprinkle a few seeds every three centimeters or so, and then cover the soil. It will germinate in about thirteen days. Then make sure the soil is moist after sprouting, and make sure there is enough air circulation and enough light after growing leaves. This period of time is very important for Ziwei. We must strengthen management and always pay attention to its situation.
If it is cutting propagation, it should be carried out in August, because at this time, the new branches grow best and have the highest survival rate. It is necessary to choose larger branches for cutting and then trim them to about 9 cm. The cutting depth should be about10cm. Water immediately after cutting and seal it with plastic wrap to ensure its humidity. Generally, it can take root in about 0/3 days, and more attention should be paid to watering during the growing period.
These are the better sowing and cutting methods that I personally think.
