Does the silver bud willow need water?

When breeding silver bud willow, it can be raised dry or in water.

But relatively speaking, the curing time will be longer if it is dry. If the temperature is slightly higher when it is inserted into water for maintenance, its flowers may bloom, which will shorten the viewing time. After buying cut flowers, prepare a vase and put it in a bottle. If you don't add water, it will become dried flowers.

Silver willow is a traditional flower arrangement material in winter in China, which is mainly used for ornamental application by cutting off flower buds from branches. Cutting branches can be watered, and the viewing period can reach more than 2 months, while dry cutting takes longer; It can be inserted in a bottle alone, or it can be used as a material for arranging flowers and matching.

Propagation method of silver bud willow:

All the silver buds are propagated by cutting with mature branches and directly inserted into the field. Generally, in winter pre-sale finishing, the lower branches are cut off, trimmed into cuttings with 4-5 axillary buds of about 20 cm, tied into small bundles, vertically placed indoors, and stored with river sand for moisturizing.

In order to save cuttings, according to Wang Lijun's experiment, cuttings can be cut into only two leaf buds, about 8 cm long. The specific cutting time varies from place to place. February in the south is the suitable mowing time, and mowing began in early April in Beijing.

Taiwan Province Province also has a large number of planting and exporting silver buds. Their practice is: after harvesting at the end of February, cutting, picking, packaging, moisturizing and storing at 4℃. The method is simple and convenient, and saves storage space. Two weeks after spring is the suitable planting period. Cut the cuttings into 20 cm long, soak them with bactericide such as carbendazim before cutting, and then dry them in the shade before cutting.
