How to cultivate red掌
If you want to know how to cultivate red掌 and the small experience of plant cultivation for the propagation methods of red掌 hydroponic cutting, the specific contents are as follows:
Summer is approaching, and for red掌, summer is the golden season for growth. Everyone is not unfamiliar with red掌, and now more and more people like to plant a pot of red掌 at home when cultivating flowers. Firstly, it is very easy to maintain red掌, and it basically does not require our special care. Compared to pothos, it can also bloom, and the bright red flowers do not fade. Adding a bit of color to the home also brings some joy and celebration. Moreover, red掌 has a good meaning, symbolizing wealth, ease, and smooth sailing.
When propagating red掌, we can adopt two methods: one is division propagation, which involves using cuttings, and the other is seed propagation, which means planting seeds and letting them sprout. Regardless of the method chosen, as long as we master some tips, we can successfully propagate red掌, easily turning one pot into many.
1. Division Propagation
Firstly, when performing division propagation, we need to determine the best time for cutting. Generally, the best time for red掌 propagation is in spring and autumn when the weather is relatively cool, and the survival rate during propagation is higher. In summer, due to the hot temperature, it is best not to propagate.
Then we can take side buds from red掌 for propagation. When selecting side buds, there are a few points we need to pay attention to. We should not choose buds that are too weak or nearly dry, as these have a low survival rate and it would be a waste of effort to use them for propagation. After selecting suitable branches, we can use professional gardening pruning shears to cut the side buds and then soak them in a potassium permanganate solution before drying them for propagation.
After drying, the leaves can be planted in the soil. When planting the leaves, do not insert them directly into the soil. It is best to use a flat placement method to facilitate root growth. After planting, do not water immediately. Instead, sprinkle water on top and place it in a shaded area to allow it to root.
2. Seed Propagation
If seed propagation is chosen, we can plant seeds in any season. We can buy ready-made seeds, plant them in the soil without burying them too deep, about 1 centimeter is fine. After sowing the seeds, as long as we water them on time, the red掌 will sprout and take root in about two weeks. When green leaves appear, we need to plant them in pots.
