Cultivation Method of Cyclamen Seedlings
Today, we are introducing the cultivation method of cyclamen seedlings and detailed tips for cyclamen care. Let's follow the editor to learn more!
Seed Propagation: Collect seeds, soak them, and then plant them in a pot, ensuring they stay moist. They will germinate in about 40 days. Tuber Propagation: Cut the tubers into small longitudinal sections from the top, making sure each section contains an eye, then dry them and plant them in a pot. Tissue Culture: Select some parts of the plant's outer tissues, use hormones to induce the growth of seedlings, and then plant them in a pot.
1. Seed Propagation
Firstly, collect the seeds, ensuring they are plump and healthy. Freshly harvested seeds may contain a lot of moisture, so we can dry them in the shade for 3 to 4 days and then in the sun. It is best to plant the seeds after the beginning of autumn and before the first snow. Before planting, soak the seeds in water for about one night. Then, plant the soaked seeds in the prepared potting soil and water them thoroughly. Maintain the moisture of the soil and provide appropriate temperature, and they will germinate in about 40 days.
2. Tuber Propagation
This method requires us to cut the tubers ourselves. The usual time is in late August when the tubers are about to sprout. Cut the tubers into several small sections from the top, making sure each section contains an eye and apply some wood ash to the cut areas to sterilize them. Then, place them in a shaded place to dry before planting them in the prepared pot. With patient care, they will quickly grow leaves.
3. Tissue Culture Propagation
We can select the young stems or flower buds from plants that have been growing for 1 to 2 years as the outer tissues. Use hormones to induce the growth of seedlings, with the stem blocks being the easiest to induce. If stem blocks are used as the outer tissues, MS medium can be used. After the seedlings have grown, let them gradually receive light and then plant them into the prepared potting soil, providing a suitable environment. They will quickly grow leaves and flowers. However, this method is not very practical for home use, so we usually choose the first two methods.
