How to Propagate海棠 Flower
Today, the editor will introduce how to propagate海棠 flowers and share some small green plant maintenance experiences about the propagation techniques of海棠 flowers. Next, let me give you a detailed explanation.
In order to successfully propagate海棠 flowers, it is necessary to make the corresponding preparations. The first step is to choose the right soil, which is crucial for propagation. The second is to cut the cuttings, choosing branches with good growth for propagation to increase the survival rate. The last is the maintenance work after propagation, such as watering and temperature control. Let's talk about how to propagate海棠 flowers from these three aspects.
1. Soil Selection
Before propagating海棠 flowers, choosing the right soil is very important. It is best to choose soil that is loose, fertile, well-ventilated, and easy to drain. To increase the survival rate of propagation, you can also add some perlite or use organic soil to ensure sufficient nutrients for faster growth.
2. Cutting the Cuttings
Find a branch with good growth on the海棠 flower and cut it to retain a length of about 12-15 cm. Then use a root stimulator to trim the bottom of it, with a horseshoe shape being the best. After that, make the soil closely contact with its bottom to facilitate the growth of new roots.
3. Propagation
Make a hole in the soil about 5 cm deep. Then insert the trimmed branch into the soil and press the surrounding soil firmly with your hands to fix its bottom, which is convenient for the growth of the roots in the future.
4. After Propagation Care
The care after propagation mainly emphasizes three aspects: light, humidity, and temperature. First, there is no need for too much light during the propagation process, so the branches after propagation should be placed in a shaded position to avoid direct sunlight. Second, there is no need to water within the first two days after propagation, just keep the soil moist, and it can be watered on the fifth day. Finally, ensuring a warm environment is very important. Under constant temperature conditions, it will take about half a month to notice that the roots start to grow. After the roots have grown, applying scientific and reasonable fertilization can promote the growth and reproduction of the plant.
The above-mentioned experience and knowledge about how to propagate海棠 flowers and share propagation techniques hope to bring you some help after reading this article!
