Succulent plants, with their unique shapes and easy-care characteristics, are deeply loved by plant enthusiasts. The Cross Star, with its elegant leaf arrangement and rich color changes, has become a favorite of many meat friends. How to propagate this beautiful succulent plant? This article will introduce the propagation methods of Cross Star in detail, allowing you to master the propagation skills easily.
Propagation methods of Cross StarThe Cross Star can mainly be propagated by the following two methods: division propagation and leaf insertion propagation.
1. Division propagation
Division propagation uses the growth characteristics of succulent plants themselves to divide a succulent plant into several small plants and then plant them separately. The specific operation is as follows:
(1) Choose a strong and root-developed Cross Star as the propagation material.
(2) Remove the plant from the pot and use scissors or a gardening knife to divide the roots into several small plants.
(3) Plant the divided small plants in new pots separately, paying attention to keeping the soil moist.
(4) About 1-2 weeks later, the new plants begin to grow.
2. Leaf insertion propagation
Leaf insertion propagation uses the regeneration ability of succulent plant leaves for propagation. The specific operation is as follows:
(1) Choose healthy leaves, preferably leaves that are vigorous.
(2) Remove the leaves from the plant and remove the aging and decayed parts at the bottom of the leaves.
(3) Place the leaves flat on the surface of the moist soil, making sure there is a certain distance between the leaves and the soil.
(4) Keep the soil moist, and after about 1-2 weeks, the bottom of the leaves begins to take root.
(5) After taking root, plant the leaves together with the roots in a new pot.
Precautions1. Choose healthy propagation materials and avoid using weak or severely diseased or pest-infested plants.
2. When propagating by division, be careful not to damage the roots to avoid affecting the growth of the plants.
3. Keep the soil moist during leaf insertion propagation to prevent the leaves from rotting.
4. After propagation, the new plants need to gradually adapt to the new growth environment and avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight.
The propagation methods of Cross Star are simple and easy to learn, suitable for新手 meat friends to try. Through division propagation and leaf insertion propagation, you can easily propagate more beautiful Cross Stars. I hope this article's introduction can be helpful to you, and I wish you a joyful experience in the process of caring for succulent plants!
