The bubble plant is a culture that is able to delight and decorate the land plot not only with beautiful buds, but also with quite attractive foliage. This species is often called Tavolga or Kalinolistina 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 in a specialized store or propagate the bladder by cuttings in the summer on your own.
Features of the reproduction of the bladderwort of the Vine-leaved cuttings
For reproduction, it is worth using adult bushes without obvious signs of disease. Weak plants are also not recommended. For work, it is worth choosing a sharp knife, with which you can cut the required number of cuttings.
When is it better to cut the bladder
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 breed the culture in the summer. This is due primarily to the fact that in this case all the characteristics of the mother bush will be transferred to the plant. This breeding option is great when it is planned to plant a large amount of bladder on the site, and there is not enough planting material.
Propagation of the vesicle by cuttings in summer
Since cuttings are the most popular propagation method, it is perfect for the bladderworm. In this case, it is best to carry out work in the first half of summer, until the moment when the flowering period begins. The shoots must be green in the current year. The length of the cuttings should be at least 20 cm, while each should have about 4 nodes (growth points).
Propagation of the vesicle by cuttings in spring
If necessary, you can carry out cuttings of the bladder in the spring. For these purposes, it is necessary to initially choose the healthiest and strongest shoot, remove the leaves, leaving only the leaf plates on the crown. The work must be done carefully so as not to harm the mother bush. Young green shoots should be about 10-15 cm long. The bottom cut should be made at a 45 degree angle slightly below the bud.
Propagation of the vesicle by cuttings in the fall
It is recommended to carry out cuttings of the bladder 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 about 10 cm. The upper cut is always straight, while the lower should be done at a slight angle. Leaves are usually trimmed to about half.
How to propagate the vesicle by cuttings
Propagating the bladder by cuttings is not as difficult as it might initially seem. As practice shows, everyone can carry out such work, even without special skills. Work can be done in summer, spring or autumn - every gardener chooses a convenient time for himself.
Rules for harvesting cuttings
For the propagation of a 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 of the leaves are removed, as they take up a large amount of nutrients necessary for the formation of the root system. The lower cut is necessarily oblique, while it is recommended to plant the cutting at a slight angle.
Preparing cuttings
It is important to understand not only how to propagate the bladder by cuttings, 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 the rooting agent in powder form, which is simply sprinkled on the bottom.
Landing
A day after soaking in a growth stimulator, the material is planted on special beds, schools, where a mixture of sand and peat is used as a soil. The containers are covered with plastic wrap or a plastic lid. During the rooting process, it is important to periodically ventilate the cuttings and irrigate the soil. In the spring, as a rule, they are engaged in planting in a permanent place of growth.
Care of cuttings
After the cuttings have been cut and planted in a nutritious soil, it can be assumed that the reproduction process is approximately 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 land - 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 it and ventilating the bladder.
Transfer to a permanent place
For planting, it is recommended to choose an open area that receives a lot of sunlight. In order for a sufficiently lush crown to appear during the formation process, and there are many buds on the shoots, it is worth choosing a site with fertile soil, while there should be no lime at all.
The pit must be prepared of such a size that the root system of the cuttings with an earthen lump will fully fit into it. Fertile soil, as a rule, is poured into a pit 14 days before the planned time of disembarkation. It is important to ensure that the root collar is flush with the soil surface.
After planting, the planting material is watered abundantly. If the earth settles, add the required amount of earth. In order for moisture to remain 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 planting in a permanent place of growth. If you provide the culture with proper care, then the vesicle will delight with its attractive appearance for many years.
