Cactus Propagation Specific Operations
The editor will tell you about the knowledge of green plants and flowers in the introduction of cactus propagation methods, keep reading!
Cactus is a relatively common plant in our daily life. Its main difference from the cactus is in its appearance, as the cactus shape is spherical. Cactus is also a plant with very comprehensive effects, among which the purification effect and anti-radiation function are the most prominent, which is also the main reason why many flower friends raise cacti. Next, let the发财树之家 (发财树 means "money tree" in Chinese) introduce the propagation methods of cacti.
Cactus Propagation Method Introduction
For the propagation of cacti, we mainly have three methods: seed propagation, grafting propagation, and stem cutting propagation. These three propagation methods can be used for different cactus varieties. Next, a detailed explanation of the following three propagation methods will be provided for everyone.
Cactus Propagation Specific Operations
Stem Cutting Propagation
Stem cutting propagation is also the one with the highest survival rate among cactus propagations and is currently the most commonly used. Use a small knife to cut off the offsets from the base of the cactus. After removing the offsets, disinfect and dry them, then place the offsets in the pre-prepared matrix, and then keep them in a shady and well-ventilated condition for maintenance, waiting for them to germinate when suitable.
Seed Propagation
For the seed propagation of cacti, it mainly focuses on varieties such as golden crown, yellow old man, and phoenix jade. These varieties are less likely to produce offsets, so seed propagation is the only option. These cactus varieties must germinate in a high-temperature environment, so seeding should be done in summer. It is recommended to soak the seeds in water for about 2 days before sowing.
Grafting Propagation
Grafting propagation is mainly used for varieties such as grass ball and celestial pole. These types of cacti are best propagated by grafting, as it not only accelerates the growth of the corm but also helps the plant to bloom. For cactus grafting, only strong-growing and succulent cacti should be selected, and care must be taken not to break them by hand during propagation, as this may lead to the failure of the graft.
The above content is a detailed introduction to the propagation methods of cacti. Through the above introduction, we can have a better and more comprehensive understanding of cactus propagation. Mastering the above methods can ensure better handling during propagation.
The introduction of cactus propagation methods and the specific operations of cactus propagation introduced above [] hope to bring you help. Don't forget to check out more flower cultivation experience and knowledge!
