How to plant cyclamen
You may not be familiar with the planting and cultivation techniques of cyclamen, here are some related experiences in flower planting for you, the following editor will explain in detail for you
Seed propagation: Collect seeds, soak them and then plant them in a pot, keep them moist, and they will germinate in 40 days. Tuber division propagation: Cut the tubers into small pieces from the top longitudinally, ensuring each piece has an eye, then dry them and plant them in a pot. Tissue culture: Select part of its outer explants, use hormones to induce the growth of small seedlings, and then plant them in a pot.
1. Seed propagation
First, collect its seeds, and make sure the seeds chosen are full and healthy. The seeds just picked may contain more moisture, so we can dry them in the shade for 3 to 4 days, then dry them in the sun. It's best to plant seeds between the beginning of autumn and before the light snow. Before planting, soak the seeds in water for a night. Then plant the soaked seeds in the prepared potting soil and water them sufficiently. After that, keep the soil moist and provide it with proper temperature, and it will germinate in about 40 days.
2. Tuber division propagation
This propagation method requires us to cut the tubers ourselves. The time is usually in late August, because this is when the tubers are about to germinate. Cut the tubers into several small pieces from the top longitudinally, ensuring each piece has an eye, and apply some wood ash to the cut surfaces to sterilize. Then place them in a cool place to dry, and after that, you can plant them in the prepared pot. With patient care, they will quickly grow leaves.
3. Tissue culture propagation
You can select the young stems or flower buds from plants that have been growing for 1 to 2 years as outer explants. Then use hormones to induce the growth of small seedlings, among which the stem pieces are the most easily induced. If stem pieces are chosen as outer explants, we can use MS medium. After the seedlings have grown, let them gradually exposed to light, and then plant them in the prepared potting soil, provide a suitable environment, and they will quickly grow leaves and bloom. However, this method is not very practical for home use, so we usually choose the first two methods.
