The invention discloses a method for cultivating Camellia maozi seedlings, which comprises the steps of air layering, management after
branch stripping, stripped
seedling transplantation and container
seedling management. Branches which have
diameter of more than 1cm at stripping parts, have length of more than 60cm above annular stripping cuts, grow robustly and do not have diseases and
insect pests are selected as branches to be stripped. Through the air layering of a mother tree, stripped seedlings with developed root systems are obtained, then the stripped seedlings are sheared and finally the seedlings are transplanted into containers for cultivation to obtain the Camellia maozi seedlings. The method for cultivating the Camellia maozi seedlings disclosed by the invention is simple and feasible, roots can grow fast from the annular stripping cuts, the seedlings are easy to manage in the containers, the
survival rate is high, the root systems of the seedlings are particularly thick, robust and developed, the
seedling formation period is short, the growth is fast after
transplantation, large seedlings can be obtained after 1-1.5 years of cultivation, the seedlings can be cultivated all through the year, the demands for indoor and outdoor
potting or planting and breeding of high-grade light purple red flower Camellia maozi seedlings are met, the market prospect is wide, and the economic benefit, the social benefit and the ecological benefit are better.
