Breeding features of Kampsis rooting

Breeding Kampsis is fairly straightforward. This plant has air roots:

• In order to root a plant, its shoot needs only to be pinned to the ground.
• After this, it is necessary to perform watering pinned branch.
• In this state, it is necessary to leave the plant until next spring.
• This plant is very fond of light, so it must be planted in a sunny place.
• Immediately after planting this plant, it must be protected from sunlight, as they can burn it severely.
• The next year, the pinned branch will give roots. It must be disconnected from the plant and, if necessary transplant.

Campsis belongs to the category of aggressive plants. Its roots can easily penetrate into window frames and walls of buildings. That is why it is necessary to plant plants away from buildings.

Also, the reproduction of this plant can be done using seed:

• To do this, you need to collect seeds in the fall.
• The seeds must be stored in a dry and warm place. They are planted in the spring.
• The depth of planting seeds should be no more than half a centimeter.
• At a temperature of +25 degrees, the seeds will sprout in a month.
• After 6 leaves appear on the plant, you can transplant them to a permanent place.

The most effective way to propagate a given plant is to reproduce cuttings:

• This action is performed at the beginning of the flowering of the plant. For this purpose, green shoots from the green part of the plant are used.
• For planting shoots, choose fertile, moist and loose soil in a shaded place.
• Planting cuttings into the ground is carried out at an angle.
• The planting site is covered with leaves so that the area retains a sufficient amount of moisture for their rooting.

Very often, lignified cuttings are used for plant propagation:

• They are cut out immediately after the snow has melted.
• The growth of shoots must necessarily be last year.
• When using this breeding method, it is necessary to immediately select a place of constant growth of the kampsis.
• Planting lignified cuttings, like green ones, is carried out under a slope.

This plant can be propagated by a root cavity. If a large number of shoots have formed around this plant, then they can be cut off along with the root and transplanted to another place.

There are many ways to reproduce this plant.

The choice of the method directly depends on the wishes of the grower. The main thing is to provide him with appropriate care after landing.

Kampsis care

In preparation for winter, the plant must be protected at the base. After the plant is planted in the ground in a permanent place, its shoots are cut at a distance of 15 centimeters from the ground. This procedure allows the given plant to bloom.

New shoots, which are strong enough, are expanded into special rods that are placed between the supports.

• After severe pruning of Kampsis or damage to its roots, root suckers can form. That is why it is necessary to strictly monitor their growth. When root suckers appear, they must be removed immediately.

Campsis is a frost-resistant plant, but it will not be able to withstand very high frosts. If the cultivation of this plant is carried out in a harsh climate, then it is necessary to cover it.
