When is the best time to propagate Begonia cyclichea?
The following article will introduce some experiences on the best time to propagate Begonia cyclichea to netizens.
When is the best time to propagate Begonia cyclichea?
The best time to propagate Begonia cyclichea is in mid-June and mid-July, mainly because the temperature is relatively suitable during this period, the humidity of the air is also relatively high, which is also the vigorous growth period of Begonia cyclichea. The survival rate of propagation during this time will increase. If the climate conditions are suitable and well maintained, it can take root in about half a month.
Propagation Time of Begonia cyclichea
Begonia cyclichea can be propagated at any time of the year, but doing so in mid-June and mid-July will increase its survival rate. This is because the temperature is more suitable and the air humidity is relatively high during this period. It is also the plant's vigorous growth period, which will enhance the survival rate of propagation.
Propagation Method of Begonia cyclichea
1. Selecting branches: Choose strong, disease-free branches of Begonia cyclichea, about 13-15 cm in length. The top part of the branch should have 2-3 leaves and some young buds, while all leaves at the bottom should be removed. The cutting end of the bamboo node should be oblique.
2. Preparing soil: Fresh and clean vermiculite is generally chosen as it can inhibit bacteria and is very moisture-retaining and breathable. If vermiculite is not used, coarse river sand can also be an option.
3. Preparing for propagation: Dip the cut end of the processed branch into a little rooting powder, then insert the branch into the cultivation soil 5 cm deep.
Precautions for Propagating Begonia cyclichea
After propagating Begonia cyclichea, it must be placed in a cool and well-ventilated area. The humidity of the cultivation environment should be sufficiently wet, with the temperature generally maintained between 20℃ and 24℃. Spray water once at noon between 12-14 o'clock every day. If the climate conditions are suitable and well maintained, it can take root in about half a month. After a month of rooting, it can be transplanted into a pot.
The above sharing on the best time to propagate Begonia cyclichea is for the reference of green plant enthusiasts, hoping to solve your problems in the management of green plants and flowers.
