How to reproduce fleshy plants with a lot of meat
Because of their soft and cute shape and tenacious vitality, succulent plants have become a popular choice for modern family green plants. As a typical representative of the 'Rouduo' family, the most attractive thing about this kind of cute plant is not only its ornamental value, but also its unique reproductive characteristics. This article will systematically analyze the three major breeding secrets of succulent plants to help you easily realize the fun of cultivating 'one pot into multiple pots'. Three methods of cuttage propagation: Rapid cloning is the most commonly used method of asexual propagation. Cutting can be divided into three precise operation steps: 1. Root cutting: Select a strong root system with a diameter of ≥ 3 cm, use a disinfectant blade to cut obliquely at 45 degrees, insert it into a vermiculite + perlite (3:1) matrix, and maintain scattered light for 4 hours a day. Leaf cutting: Select thick leaves in the middle and lower layers, lay them on a micro-tidal sand bed, control the humidity to 60%-70%, and pink new root systems can be seen in about 15 days. 3. Stem cutting: For long plants, retain 5-8cm stem segments, air dry the incision for 24 hours, and then insert shallowly. Combined with rooting powder, the success rate of sowing and reproduction can be increased to 90%. Seed reproduction on the miracle of life journey needs to grasp three key points: ·Harvest timing: Harvest when the seed pods turn yellow and not cracked, and store refrigerated for ≤3 months·Substrate configuration: peat soil + river sand (1:2), use after high temperature disinfection·Sowing skills: Use the 'sowing + light pressing' method, cover soil thickness ≤2mm, maintain a constant temperature environment of 25℃ for individual propagation: The population proliferation method is suitable for group varieties (such as Jingye and Zizhilianhua): ① Operate during pot change in spring, and soften the root system after water is cut off for 3 days in advance ② Keep 3-5 main roots to separate lateral buds, and apply carbendazim to the incision ③ Select a ventilated pot with a diameter of 5-7cm. After placing it on the humid soil and placing it in a ventilated place to master these reproduction skills, it is recommended that novices start with leaf transplanting and gradually challenge the rafting propagation. Each method requires attention to environmental regulation: maintain the temperature difference between day and night of 8-10℃, avoid direct light, and moderately control water. Through scientific reproduction, we can not only obtain more meat, but also deeply observe the mystery of plant life cycle.
