Breeding and management of Ilex pubescens

Breeding and management of Ilex pubescens;

Breeding mode

1, the most commonly used propagation method of Ilex japonicus: one is direct seeding, but this method is slow, and it takes a long time from seed to seedling, which is time-consuming and troublesome. Therefore, cutting is often used. This method is relatively simple and convenient to use, and the survival rate is relatively high. It is also the most widely used method of Holly.

2. Cutting is mostly carried out in May-June. First, we can cut obliquely from the middle and upper part of the crown, take 5 ~ 10 cm long and vigorous lateral branches to cut off the lower leaflets, and keep all the upper leaves. Then it is treated with rooting powder, cut off and cut into seedbeds. The seedbed should be selected in a ventilated and shade-tolerant place, or it can be cut in shade, with high survival rate.

Seedling management

For Ilex pubescens, there is no need for too much fertilizer at seedling stage, as long as foliar fertilizer is properly applied; In addition, it is to shade the sun when the light is particularly strong, so as to avoid the high temperature from affecting the growth speed of seedlings.

decrease

Holly has a high growth density and will grow some new branches and leaves at any time. If we don't prune the holly, it will grow very miscellaneous, which will affect the ventilation inside the holly, lead to the abnormal growth of the holly, and also affect the ornamental value of the holly. We need to trim holly occasionally. Winter and summer are very important, and holly grows fastest in these two seasons. When pruning, we need to prune according to the growth direction of Holly.
