What is a high-pressure branch?

High-pressure branching is a plant propagation technology that artificially induces plant branches to take root on the mother body to form independent plants. This method is often used for plants that are difficult to propagate by cutting or sowing, such as some fruit trees, ornamental trees, etc. High-pressure branch technology is simple to operate and has a high survival rate. It has attracted much attention among gardening enthusiasts in recent years.

The principle of high-pressure branches

The core principle of high-pressure shoots is to stimulate callus formation and rooting by blocking the nutrient transport of the shoots. Specific steps include:

1. Select healthy branches and remove part of the bark (girdling).
2. Apply rooting powder to the wound and wrap it with moist medium (such as sphagnum moss, vermiculite).
3. Wrap and secure with plastic film to maintain humidity.
4. Cut and transplant after the root system is developed.

Advantages and Disadvantages of High-Pressure Branches

Common plants suitable for high-pressure propagation

According to recent hot discussions on the Internet, the following plants are particularly suitable for propagation using high-pressure branch technology:

Precautions for handling high-pressure branches

Based on recent failure cases hotly discussed by netizens, here is a special reminder:

1.Girdling should be thorough: The phloem must be completely cut, about 1-2 cm wide
2.Moisturizing is key: The moisture content of the medium is maintained at 60-70%
3.Light-proof treatment: Wrapping with aluminum foil or black film can promote rooting
4.Transplant at the right time: Wait until the roots turn brown (mature) before transplanting
5.Disinfection and disease prevention: Tools and wounds must be disinfected

New developments in high-pressure branch technology

Innovative methods that have been hotly discussed on the Internet recently:

1.air high pressure method: No medium, spray water directly to moisturize
2.Intelligent monitoring:Use humidity sensor to monitor rooting
3.Nutrient solution assistance: Regular injection of diluted nutrient solution
4.winter high pressure: Cooperate with heat preservation measures to achieve off-season reproduction

With the expansion of the group of gardening enthusiasts, high-pressure branch technology is becoming one of the mainstream methods of plant propagation due to its simple operation and high success rate. Mastering the correct operation essentials and combining it with the latest technological improvements can make your plant propagation more effective with half the effort.
