How to Propagate Clematis
PROPAGATING CLEMATIS
Clematis are normally propagated from cuttings, seed or layering. Different clematis re re-act differently to different methods.
TAKING CUTTINGS
This method is guaranteed to reproduce plants exactly the same as the parent plant. Common clematis which can be grown from cuttings are:
EASY FROM
CUTTINGS/最容易扦插的种类
Alpinas
Montanas/蒙大拿
Clematis Tangutica
Clematis tibetana
'Bill MacKenzie'
MODERATELY EASY
FROM CUTTINGS/中等容易扦插的种类
Macropetalas
Viticellas
Large-flowered hybrids/大花铁线莲类
EASY FROM
CUTTINGS
Clematis armandii
Texensis
Cuttings should be taken in June from stems grown that year (not woody stems grown the previous season), but avoid the very soft part of the stem at the top end. The cuttings described below are often referred to as 'internodal' cuttings (taken between two leaf joints).扦插最好在6月进行(注:指英国的6月),选取当年萌生的枝条(不要用上个生长季节长成的枝条),但要避免使用枝条顶端很软的枝条。以下是用中段枝条的扦插方法:
STEP 1/步骤1
Cut the main stem about 5cm (2in) below a leaf joint - use a clean, sharp knife to avoid crushing the stem when cutting.在一对叶子连结点下5公分左右剪断要扦插的枝条--要使用干净、风力的刀具来切断,同时还要避免划伤枝条。
STEP 2/步骤2
Cut the main stem as near as possible just above the leaf joint. See diagram to the left to illustrate the cutting.在尽可能靠近一对叶子连结点的上方截断扦插枝条的另一端。详见图(复制不过来,建议大家看网页http://www.gardenaction.co.uk/plantfinder/clematis_22.asp)
STEP 3/步骤3
Cut away the leaves and stalk from one side of the stem and trim off any excess leaves from the other side so that only two leaves remain.只留一侧的叶子,其余多余的叶子都剪除。
This trimming process will reduce loss of water through the leaves of the cutting.这样做可以减少水分的消耗。
Having created the clematis cutting, dip the base of the cutting into hormone rooting powder (to help the cutting produce roots), and insert it into a small pot filled with potting compost. Don't force the cutting into the compost - make a small hole first, place the cutting in the hole and gently firm the compost round the stem. 完成剪枝工作后,将扦插枝条根部蘸一下生根粉,然后植入培养介质。小心不要直接插进去,应该先在介质里挖一小洞,然后将枝条温柔的放进去。
The cutting should be placed in the compost so that all of the main stem is covered. Only the very top of the stem and the leaf and stalk should be above the compost. Water well (preferably from the base) then label and date the cutting. 尽可能将整个扦插枝条叶子下端都插入介质中。只留顶端和叶子在介质外面。然后浇水并标注扦插日期。
To avoid the cutting loosing too much water place it in a covered propagator, or cover the pot with a plastic bag. Place the covered cutting in a light protected place but not one exposed to direct sunlight. 为防止水分流失,可以罩一塑料袋或其他覆盖物。不要直接将其暴露在直射阳光下。
Plants grown this way will be ready for planting out after a year (re-pot into larger pots as the roots fill the pot) and will flower after another year.这样扦插后一年后可以移出容器外种植(如根部生长满容器可以换盆)。再隔一年后会开花。
