There is a pot of goldfish and spider plants at home. The small yellow flowers are like a group of lively little goldfish dancing! Watching them grow day by day, I feel happy. But do you know how to make these cute little guys reproduce? Today, let me give you a detailed introduction to the breeding methods of goldfish spider plants, so that you can easily have your own "goldfish garden"! 1. Breeding methods of goldfish spider plant
There are three main breeding methods of goldfish spider plant plant: sowing propagation, sub-plant propagation and cuttage propagation. Below, we will reveal their mystery one by one. 1. Sowing and breeding
Sowing and breeding may sound a bit complicated, but it is actually not difficult to operate. Spring and autumn are the best times for sowing seeds. First of all, you need to pick some healthy seeds that are plump and undamaged. Sprinkle them evenly in the soil, covering with soil about 1 cm thick. Next, control the temperature to around 20 ° C and wait for the seeds to take root and germinate. However, it should be noted that it is difficult to collect the seeds of goldfish spider plants, so this method is not commonly used. 2. Plant breeding
Plant breeding is a popular method on the market. When the goldfish spider plants are turned over and replaced with soil every spring, the ramets next to them can be isolated from the base of the mother plant. Apply carbendazim solution to disinfect the wound, dry the wound in a cool and ventilated place, and then plant it into new pot soil! 3. Cuttage propagation Cuttage propagation is the most common breeding method for goldfish spider and is relatively simple to operate. Spring and autumn are the best periods for cuttage. First, select the annual branches of the goldfish spider and cut them off. The length of the branches is about 10 - 15 cm, and the excess leaves are removed at the same time. Only 3-4 leaves are left for each branch. Place the branches in a cool place to let the wound dry. After the branches are dried, insert them directly into river sand or vermiculite, and then water them appropriately to moisturize. At the same time, they should be covered with glass or plastic film to keep them warm and moist. The ambient temperature is controlled at 20℃, and branches can take root after 3 weeks to 4 weeks of cuttage. 2. Precautions for the breeding of goldfish and spider plants Although the breeding method of goldfish and spider plants sounds simple, there are still some points that need to be paid attention to in the actual operation process. 1. Soil selection The soil of goldfish spider plants requires rich humus, loose and well-drained. It is generally common to mix peat soil, perlite and vermiculite in equal amounts and make the soil slightly acidic to facilitate growth. 2. Lighting and watering Goldfish spider plants prefer bright, non-direct light environments, so they must be shaded (50% shading) when the light is too strong in summer. Liquid fertilizer is applied every 1-2 weeks during the growth period, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers must be applied more during the growth and peak flowering periods. There is a short dormant period in winter. During this period, you can water less and keep the soil properly dry. In winter (i.e., flowering period), water can be appropriately applied. There must be sufficient water during the growing period. The soil must be kept wet often, and efforts should be made to increase the air humidity. 3. Picked treatment The most important thing after the cuttage survives is to carry out picking treatment so that it can grow more branches so that more flowers can be produced in the coming year. Two months after transplanting and survival, a picking treatment can be carried out. After the new branches grow to 10-15 centimeters, a second picking treatment can be carried out, so that a lush goldfish spider will grow. 3. Maintenance skills for goldfish spider plants The maintenance of goldfish spider plants is actually not difficult. As long as you master the following points, your little goldfish can thrive. 1. Light goldfish spider plants prefer bright and non-direct light environments, so they must be shaded (50% shading) when the light is too strong in summer. In order to promote the formation of flower buds, sunlight is given in autumn and the soil is kept slightly dry. It is best to place it in a dry and cool environment during hibernation in winter to promote flower bud differentiation. The light can be appropriately increased before flowering in winter, and it must be moved to the brightest window indoors. To ensure vigorous growth and flowering. 2. Temperature goldfish spider plants are high-temperature plants, and the most ideal growth environment should be between 15-25℃. In winter (i.e. flowering period), light can be increased appropriately, and it must be moved to the brightest window indoors to ensure vigorous growth and flowering. 3. Humidity Goldfish spider plants have high requirements on the moisture of the basin soil and air humidity, so it is necessary to ensure that the water content of the basin soil is sufficient to avoid buds falling caused by drought. 4. Fertilizer requires sufficient fertilizer. Topdressing should be applied every half month during the autumn growing period. After entering the flowering period, fertilization should be reduced to avoid the impact on flower buds caused by improper fertilization.
Now, have you learned? Come and try these methods to make your goldfish and spider plant full of flowers and become a beautiful scenery at home! Remember to take care of them carefully during the maintenance process. They will definitely bring you endless joy!
