Multi肉 flower spike cutting
Do you know about these? The content about the propagation of multi肉 flower spikes, the cutting of multi肉 flower spikes, is a nice piece of knowledge. It is recommended to save it for later reference!
Many flower friends will cut off the multi肉 flower spikes to prevent the multi肉 from consuming too much nutrients. At this point, they might wonder if it's possible to cut the multi肉 flower spikes. In fact, it is completely possible, and many flower friends have succeeded, and the method is quite simple.
Of course, the multi肉 flower spikes we are talking about are part of the Sedum family multi肉 flower spikes, not all multi肉 flower spikes can be cut.
Let's take a look at the process of cutting multi肉 flower spikes:
1. Cut the multi肉 flower spike and place it in a shady and well-ventilated area to dry the wound.
2. Insert the flower spike into clean moist soil, not too deep, just stable enough, otherwise it is easy to rot the branch. The light should not be too strong, scattered light is fine.
3. Germination time: Generally around 15-30 days (depending on different environments, germination time may vary), new buds will grow at the leaf axils of the flower spike, which indicates the cutting has succeeded.
ps: Flower spikes with more leaves and thicker ones have a higher chance of successful cutting.
Overall, the management method after cutting the flower spike is the same as that of leaf cutting, allowing the plant tissue to sprout new buds in a suitable growing environment.
Additionally, there are some issues that flower friends need to understand during the cutting process of multi肉 flower spikes:
1. The flowers on the spike must be cut off, as long as the flowers are present, they will consume the nutrients of the branches.
2. The cutting material must have leaves or have had leaves, because new life grows from the leaf axils. To some extent, it can also be understood that the flower spike provides nutrients to the leaves on the spike, promoting their propagation.
3. Generally speaking, the root system of multi肉 flower spikes grows quickly in any season, with roots growing in one or two weeks, but the time for new buds to grow at the leaf axils is uncertain. Usually, it is easier to burst in spring and autumn, while in summer and winter, it may only grow roots to store energy.
4. The success rate and efficiency of propagating multi肉 flower spikes vary among different varieties. For example, with the red rabbit's ear, once the flower bud is removed, a new red rabbit's ear will grow, even with an old stem shape. With the black prince, I once cut dozens of flower spikes and waited patiently for half a year, with roots growing wildly but no new buds. It was only in the spring that I saw new buds bursting. Generally speaking, as long as the roots grow, the stem does not turn black, and there are leaves, new buds can be expected.
5. Some multi肉 plants can even burst new offsprings if the flowers are cut off, but this should be a probabilistic event. It is also possible that the stem dries up and nothing happens. This trial method might work better in spring, which is conducive to propagation.
6. Flower spike cutting usually makes it easier for the stem to turn black.
That's all about the cutting of multi肉 flower spikes (picture), hope it helps you!
