The bubble is a culture that is able to delight and decorate the land not only with beautiful buds, but also with quite attractive foliage. This species is often called Meadowsweet or Kalinolistny spirea. As practice shows, the plant is excellent for creating a hedge, as it tolerates the process of cutting and shaping well. If necessary, planting material can be purchased at a specialized store or the vesicle can be propagated by cuttings in the summer on its own.
Peculiarities of propagation of the vesicle of the viburnum by cuttings
For reproduction, it is worth using adult bushes without obvious signs of disease. It is also not recommended to use weak plants. For work, it is worth choosing a sharp knife with which you can cut the required number of cuttings.
When is the best time to cut a vesicle?
As practice and reviews of experienced gardeners show, it is possible to carry out summer, spring and autumn cuttings of the vesicle. It is best to engage in the propagation of culture in the summer. This is due primarily to the fact that in this case all the signs of the mother bush will be transferred to the plant. This breeding option is great when it is planned to plant a large number of vesicles on the site, and there is not enough planting material.
Reproduction of the vesicle by cuttings in the summer
Since grafting is the most popular method of propagation, it is also perfect for the vesicle. In this case, it is best to carry out work in the first half of summer, until the moment when the flowering period begins. Shoots must be the current year, green. The length of the cuttings should be at least 20 cm, while each should have about 4 nodes (growth points).
Reproduction of the vesicle by cuttings in the spring
If necessary, cuttings of the vesicle can be carried out in the spring. For these purposes, it is necessary to initially select the healthiest and strongest shoot, remove the leaves, leaving only the leaf plates at the top. Work must be done carefully so as not to harm the mother bush. Young green shoots should be about 10-15 cm long. The lower cut should be made at an angle of 45 degrees just below the bud.
Propagation of the vesicle by cuttings in autumn
It is recommended to carry out cuttings of the vesicle in autumn early in the morning or in cloudy weather, which will significantly reduce the amount of evaporation. For propagation, the length of the cutting should be approximately 10 cm. The upper cut is always straight, while the lower should be done at a slight angle. The leaves are usually cut about half.
How to propagate the vesicle cuttings
Propagating the vesicle by cuttings is not as difficult as it might seem initially. As practice shows, anyone can carry out such work even without special skills. Work can be done in summer, spring or autumn – each gardener chooses a convenient time for himself.
Rules for cutting cuttings
For propagation of the culture, it is important to choose and cut the cuttings correctly. In this case, it is recommended to give preference to young and strong shoots. In most cases, almost all leaves are removed, as they take a large amount of the nutrients necessary for the formation of the root system. The lower cut must be oblique, while it is recommended to plant the cutting at a slight angle.
Preparation of cuttings
It is important to understand not only how to propagate the vesicle using the cutting method, but also how to properly process the planting material, plant it in a permanent place of growth, and take care of it. In order for the root system to appear as quickly as possible, it is recommended to place the cuttings immediately after they have been cut in a container with a growth stimulator. As a rule, such preparations are dissolved in water, after which the cuttings are soaked for a period of 12 to 24 hours. In some cases, you can purchase a powder rooter, which is simply sprinkled on the bottom.
Landing
A day after soaking in a growth stimulator, the material is planted on special school beds, where a mixture of sand and peat is used as soil. The containers are covered with a plastic film or a lid made of plastic. In the process of rooting, it is important to periodically ventilate the cuttings and irrigate the soil. In the spring, as a rule, they are engaged in landing on a permanent place of growth.
Cutting Care
After the cuttings have been cut and planted in nutrient soil, we can assume that the propagation process is about half completed. Until the moment when the planting material is planted in a permanent place of growth, it also needs to be given due attention. In this case, do not forget about the irrigation of the earth – it must be moist, the cuttings must receive a sufficient amount of moisture. Since in most cases the containers are covered with plastic wrap, it is worth periodically removing and ventilating the vesicle.
Transfer to a permanent place
For planting, it is recommended to choose an open area, which receives a large amount of sunlight. In order for a sufficiently lush crown to appear during the formation process, and there were many buds on the shoots, it is worth choosing a site with fertile soil, while lime should be completely absent.
The pit must necessarily be prepared in such a size that the root system of the cutting with an earthen clod completely fits into it. Fertile land, as a rule, is poured into a pit 14 days before the planned landing date. It is important to ensure that the root collar is flush with the soil surface.
After planting, planting material is watered abundantly. If the earth settles, add the required amount of earth. In order to retain moisture for a long time, it is recommended to mulch the ground.
Conclusion
Propagation of the vesicle by cuttings in the summer does not take much time and effort. As practice shows, you can carry out the work yourself, without resorting to outside help. In this case, it is recommended to adhere to a step-by-step algorithm of work, up to landing on a permanent place of growth. If the culture is provided with proper care, then the vesicle will delight with its attractive appearance for many years.
