Cuttage Propagation is the most important propagation method of Bauhinia. If we adopt the method of Cuttage Propagation to propagate Bauhinia, the best period of propagation is in the spring of a year, that is, between March and April.
We select a cutting branch, and there are three or four nodes on the branch. Then we trim the leaves at the lower end of the branch, and only the upper half of the leaves are kept. Then we insert the branch into the soil, and the soil is wet. We can cover the cutting with plastic film. Next, as long as we keep the temperature of the planting environment between 18 ° C and 25 ° C, generally, cuttings can grow callus in about ten days, and it will take about 50 days for cuttings to take root and sprout.
In the grafting and propagation of Bauhinia, the selection of rootstock is very important. Generally, we will choose the white flower claw nail and the poor claw nail as the rootstock for grafting Bauhinia, and use the bud grafting method to carry out the grafting. Specifically, we select the bud branch part of Bauhinia to be grafted on the Rootstock to achieve the effect of propagation of Bauhinia.
In a year, there are two periods suitable for the grafting of Bauhinia, one is between April and may in spring, the other is between August and September in autumn, because these two periods are just before the germination of seedlings, this period of grafting helps to improve the success rate of grafting.
