How to propagate Sansevieria
Today's focus is on introducing the experience of Sansevieria propagation and the related timing and methods for planting flowers. Let's proceed with the introduction.
The method of propagating Sansevieria is very simple and has a high survival rate. It is necessary to take good care of the mother plant before propagation, selecting healthy and robust leaves as cuttings, and planting them in a loose, fertile, and well-drained medium. Wait for 30-60 days for them to root before transplanting. Here is a detailed introduction to the steps for propagating Sansevieria.
I. Propagation Time
It is best to choose an environment with a temperature above 15℃ for Sansevieria propagation, with April to May in spring being the best. Warmth and appropriate humidity make it easier for Sansevieria to root after propagation.
II. Preparing Soil
Sansevieria does not have high demands for the soil used in propagation, ensuring it is loose and breathable is sufficient. You can prepare river sand and decomposed leaf soil, mix them evenly to use as growing medium.
III. Selecting Cuttings
Select robust leaves without diseases or pests from Sansevieria plants that have grown for 1-2 years. Cut them with a sterilized pair of scissors, trim off a part, apply rooting powder to the wound, and let them dry in a well-ventilated area for 5-7 days. Proceed with propagation after the wound has dried.
IV. Propagation
Prepare a suitable container, fill it with growing medium, and smooth the soil. Make some holes 1-2 centimeters deep in the soil with a chopstick, insert the Sansevieria leaves into the holes, and cover them with a thin layer of soil. If the temperature is controlled at around 20℃, the leaves can root in about 30 days. Then, transplant them into a new pot, keep them in a shaded and well-ventilated place for 5-7 days, and then move them to a location with better light for normal care and management.
