Bear cubs, as a bright pearl in the world of succulent plants, are loved by plant enthusiasts for their unique leaf shapes and rich color changes. How to propagate this lovely succulent plant smoothly has become a problem for many新手 flower growers. This article will provide a detailed analysis of the propagation methods of bear cubs, helping you to easily propagate your succulent plant family.
Bear cub propagation methodsThe propagation of bear cubs mainly falls into two methods: division propagation and seed propagation.
1. Division propagation
Division propagation is the most common method for propagating bear cubs, with simple operations and a high success rate.
(1) Choose a healthy and well-growing mother plant.
(2) Find a suitable division point at the bottom of the mother plant and cut it with a sharp knife.
(3) Place the division point in a cool and well-ventilated place to dry the wound and wait for the wound to heal.
(4) Plant the healed division point in new soil, keep the soil moist, and provide appropriate shading.
2. Seed propagation
Although seed propagation is more complicated, it can cultivate more varieties of bear cubs.
(1) Choose mature and plump seeds.
(2) Soak the seeds in water to remove impurities.
(3) Sprinkle the processed seeds on the surface of moist soil and cover them with a thin layer of soil.
(4) Keep the soil moist, provide appropriate shading, and wait for germination.
