Multi肉 plant Jilu moon is loved by multi肉 enthusiasts for its unique leaf shape and drought resistance. In the process of raising, propagating Jilu moon has become the focus of many flower friends. This article will introduce three efficient propagation methods of multi肉 Jilu moon to help you easily expand your Jilu moon family.
Leaf insertion propagation methodLeaf insertion is a common method of propagating multi肉 plants, and Jilu moon is no exception. Here are the specific steps for leaf insertion propagation of Jilu moon:
1. Choose healthy Jilu moon leaves: during the vigorous growth period of Jilu moon, choose full leaves without diseases and insects for propagation.
2. Cut the leaves: gently remove the leaves from the mother plant without damaging the leaves.
3. Prepare propagation medium: choose a soil with good breathability and drainage, such as peat soil, perlite, etc.
4. Insert leaves: place the leaves flat on the prepared medium and maintain a certain distance.
5. Watering and moisturizing: spray water on the leaves to keep the soil moist.
6. Placement and maintenance: place the inserted Jilu moon in a ventilated and diffused light environment to avoid direct sunlight.
7. Observe the root growth: after about 2-3 weeks, the bottom of the leaves will begin to take root, and the leaves together with the roots can be transplanted to a new flowerpot at this time.
Plant division propagation methodPlant division propagation is a method of propagation using the natural growth characteristics of the Jilu moon mother plant, which is simple to operate and has a high success rate.
1. Choose a healthy mother plant: choose a vigorous Jilu moon mother plant without diseases and insects.
2. Plant division: during the vigorous growth period of the mother plant, remove the mother plant from the flowerpot and use a clean pair of scissors to divide the root system into several independent small plants.
3. Transplanting: transplant the divided small plants into new pots respectively, and pay attention to keeping the soil moist.
4. Maintenance: after transplanting, Jilu moon needs to be strengthened with light and ventilation, keep the soil moist, and can return to normal growth after about 1-2 months.
Grafting propagation methodGrafting propagation is a method of rapidly propagating by grafting Jilu moon leaves onto other multi肉 plants.
1. Choose the grafting material: choose a vigorous multi肉 plant with developed root system as the rootstock, such as Sedum, Echeveria, etc.
2. Grafting operation: cut the leaves of Jilu moon into an appropriate shape with a grafting knife and then graft them onto the rootstock.
3. Maintenance: after grafting, Jilu moon needs to maintain a certain humidity and avoid direct sunlight. It can survive after about 1-2 weeks.
The three methods are all efficient ways to propagate Jilu moon. You can choose the appropriate method according to your own situation. It should be noted that during the propagation process, it is necessary to keep the soil moist and well ventilated, prevent the occurrence of diseases and insects, fertilize reasonably, ensure the nutritional needs of Jilu moon, and make it grow strongly.
