Propagation methods1. Division propagation
Division propagation is the most common method for propagating Echeveria 'Fukurou'. Select a healthy mother plant, cut off the daughter plants with roots using sterilized horticultural shears, let the cut daughter plants dry to avoid infection, and after the wound heals, plant the daughter plants in loose and breathable soil, keeping the soil moist. They can take root in about a month.
2. Leaf insertion propagation
Leaf insertion propagation uses the leaves of Echeveria 'Fukurou' for propagation. Remove healthy leaves from the mother plant, place them in a well-ventilated and shaded area to dry the wound, and after the leaf edges are slightly dry, lay them flat on the soil surface, making sure the leaves do not overlap and keep the soil moist. After about a month, the bottom of the leaves will root and sprout, growing new plants.
3. Cutting propagation
Cutting propagation is suitable for Echeveria 'Fukurou' with good growth momentum. Cut off healthy branches, about 5-10 cm in length, remove the leaves, leaving only 1-2 leaves at the top, insert the branches into the soil, and keep the soil moist. After about a month, the bottom of the branches will root and sprout.
Precautions1. During the propagation process, keep the soil moist and avoid waterlogging to prevent the plant from rotting.
2. After propagation, the new plants need to gradually adapt to sunlight and avoid direct exposure to prevent leaf sunburn.
3. During the propagation process, check the plants regularly, promptly clean up the weak and diseased branches, and maintain the healthy growth of the plants.
