Differences between herbaceous flower seedinglings and cutting seedlings:
The editor will talk about the common propagation methods of herbaceous flowers: related content about green plants, and then the editor of this site will introduce to everyone.
In family flower cultivation, there are many choices for the selection of flower varieties, which can be roughly divided into herbaceous flowers and woody flowers. For woody flowers, we often choose cutting or grafting seedlings when buying them, and try to avoid buying seedlings from seeds. However, the situation is a bit different for herbaceous flowers.
Common propagation methods of herbaceous flowers:
In family cultivation, the most commonly used method for herbaceous flowers is seeding propagation, of course, some species of herbaceous flowers can also be propagated by cuttings. But there are still significant differences between seedinglings and cutting seedlings.
Differences between herbaceous flower seedinglings and cutting seedlings:
Seedinglings of herbaceous flowers generally grow rapidly in the later stage and have good branching. The plant shape is easy to control. However, the seedling stage is longer and more difficult to manage.
While cutting seedlings generally have much poorer branching, resulting in a thinner and less full plant shape.
But in the production of seedlings, many merchants will adopt cutting propagation to speed up the growth of seedlings.
For example, the most common dwarf petunias that we buy online are mostly cutting seedlings.
Differences between herbaceous flower seedinglings and cutting seedlings:
Seedinglings of dwarf petunias, on the other hand, have very good branching. Even if autumn-sown dwarf petunias are not topped manually, they can branch naturally, achieving a fuller plant shape.
Also, the familiar Begonia semperflorens is the same. The cutting seedlings of Begonia semperflorens have significantly reduced branching, with few branches, while the seedinglings of Begonia semperflorens have good branching.
Thus, it can be seen that for flower propagation, seeding cannot be said to be bad, nor can it be said to be good; it still needs to be treated differently.
For herbaceous flowers, when buying young seedlings, it is best to choose seedlings from seeds or propagate them yourself. Later, Green Enthusiast Network will teach everyone how to sow. For woody flowers, cutting or grafting seedlings should be chosen.
Raising flowers is a very simple task, but it can also be very complex, just like when Green Enthusiast Network wants to raise a pet dog* and knows nothing about it, it really seems difficult and there are indeed many problems. But for experienced gardeners, it's not a big deal.
