How to propagate begonia cuttings
An article about how to propagate begonia cuttings and the techniques for propagating begonias in the field of green plants and flowers, next, the editor will introduce.
Begonias are very beautiful flowers, usually cultivated outdoors, and they look particularly beautiful when in bloom. However, many people do not know how to propagate begonias, so if they want to grow a pot of begonias indoors, they can only purchase them from the market. Therefore, learning the propagation methods of begonias is quite important. Let's follow the editor to find out more.
【One, How to propagate begonia cuttings】
Propagation by cuttings is undoubtedly the simplest method among begonia propagation techniques. However, if you want to propagate at home, it is best to do so in the summer, as the warm climate helps the begonia cuttings to root and sprout. When propagating, it is best to choose strong and healthy cuttings, with a length not exceeding five centimeters, which is about three to four nodes.
And the most important thing is that the cuttings must have aerial roots, otherwise it will be difficult for them to root and sprout. Therefore, when propagating, first make a hole in the盆沙 with a bamboo chopstick, which should be the same thickness as the cutting. Then insert the begonia cutting into the hole, with a depth of about 1/3 of the cutting's length, and keep a distance of about 3 centimeters between plants. Slightly press the base to ensure good contact with the盆沙, and that completes the propagation.
【Two, Management techniques after begonia propagation】
After propagation, it is best not to water immediately, as this may cause waterlogging in the pot. Therefore, it is best to water after five days, and continue watering until water flows out from the bottom of the pot, then place it in a shady area. There is no need to water again. After about 10 days, when the roots are 3-4 centimeters long, you can place the pot in the sun. Watering should depend on the weather, and after a week, it can be transplanted.
Then, fertilize every month, but the amount of fertilizer should not be too much, as it may cause the leaves to turn yellow. Appropriate watering is also necessary. So, it won't take long for the begonias to grow lush and leafy, at which point you can do some pruning to make the begonias look even more beautiful.
【Three, Begonia propagation methods】
<1. Seed propagation>
How to propagate begonia cuttings
Due to the long blooming period and the ease of cultivation, people who propagate a large number of begonia seedlings can choose this method. Set the temperature to 21 degrees and provide sufficient water to make the begonia seeds germinate quickly and grow into strong seedlings. When they reach a certain height, you can transplant the begonia seedlings to the field where they will grow faster in a more spacious environment.
<2. Division propagation>
With just one pot of strong begonias, you can divide them into several pots. However, it is best to divide them when changing the soil. Each plant can be transplanted into a new pot. Since they are all complete plants, the survival rate is the highest. You can add more organic fertilizer to promote rapid recovery and accumulate enough nutrients, thus allowing them to bloom beautiful begonias when the flowering season arrives.
<Conclusion>
: Through the detailed introduction above, I believe everyone has learned how to propagate begonia cuttings. Just prepare a pot of strong begonias in advance and you can propagate. However, it is best to choose strong branches for propagation, as this will greatly increase the chances of survival. In addition to these two propagation methods, there are also two other methods that can be used for propagation.
The detailed content on how to propagate begonia cuttings and the techniques for propagating begonias has been shared above, hoping it can be of help to you!
