How to Cultivate the Flowering "Dragon Spitting Beads"
A bit of knowledge to share with you on how to cultivate the flowering "Dragon Spitting Beads" and the related introduction of its cultivation and propagation, let's find out together.
"Dragon Spitting Beads" can be propagated by either sowing seeds or cuttage. Since the survival rate of sowing is relatively low, cuttage is more commonly used. Select a suitable stem or root from the mother plant as the cutting, insert it into clean substrate, and wait for it to root and survive. The choice of cuttings for "Dragon Spitting Beads" varies, with the operations differing, generally divided into stem cuttage and root cuttage. I will introduce them in detail below.
I. Stem Cuttage
Stem cuttage is generally done in spring and autumn each year. Select healthy, disease-free stem sections from vigorously growing "Dragon Spitting Beads" plants, both tender and hard branches can be used. Cut with a sterilized pair of scissors, remove 2/3 of the leaves, and retain 1-2 buds. Apply rooting powder to the wound and let it dry in a shaded area. Then insert it into sandy soil, compact the surrounding soil, water moderately, and place it in a shaded area for care, waiting for it to root.
II. Root Cuttage
The root system of "Dragon Spitting Beads" is very developed, and selecting roots as cuttings is also easy to survive. Choose a strong root from "Dragon Spitting Beads," cut a section with scissors, about 8-10 centimeters in length. Use a sterilized knife to cut the lower end of the root into a slanted surface to facilitate cuttage. Prepare decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and river sand, mix them in equal proportions as the cutting substrate. Place the "Dragon Spitting Beads" root segment flat on the substrate, cover it with a thin layer of soil, water to keep it moist, and place it in a shaded area for care, waiting for it to root.
The above is a detailed explanation of how to cultivate the flowering "Dragon Spitting Beads" and the cultivation and propagation of the plant. I hope this article can bring you some help in green plant management!
