How to cut poplar seedlings with high survival rate

1. Branch treatment: poplar seedlings need to be cut about 15cm for cutting, and then the branches, leaves, tops and roots are pruned. 2. Cutting time: It is best to cut poplar seedlings in early spring every year. 3. Cutting step: After inserting poplar seedlings into the soil, compact the surrounding soil, and then thoroughly irrigate with clear water. 4. Environmental maintenance: keep the surrounding cool and ventilated environment.

1 poplar cutting seedling raising method with high survival rate, branch treatment

Cutting poplar seedlings requires cutting branches about 1.5cm from the mother branch, and ensuring that there are 1 ~ 2 robust bud points above the branches, then cutting off branches and leaves, keeping the top cut flat, and trimming the root position at a 45-degree inclination.

2. Cutting time

It is best to cut poplar seedlings in early spring every year, when the temperature rises gradually, the plants gradually recover from dormancy and have strong vitality. After cutting, the roots and buds of poplar seedlings grow faster, which is beneficial to improve the survival rate of cutting.

3. Cutting step

When cutting poplar seedlings, we should provide them with loose and breathable soil. After the branches are inserted into the soil, the surrounding soil should be compacted, and then the soil should be thoroughly poured with clear water. Then, the position of plant incision should be wrapped with plastic film to reduce excess water loss.

4. Maintain the environment

After cutting poplar seedlings, keep the surrounding cool and ventilated environment away from direct sunlight, because the roots of poplar seedlings have not fully grown at this time, so they can't absorb the water in the soil. When the temperature is low at night, you can wrap the surrounding soil with a film to retain the heat accumulated during the day.
