How do succulents reproduce?
The most common propagation methods of succulents are sowing, cutting, grafting and rameting.

1. Sowing: Among succulents, except for a few species that can pollinate themselves, most of them belong to insect-borne flowers or bird-borne flowers, and they must be pollinated artificially to bear fruit. -+tragic red pitaya, epiphyllum is also.

The life span of the seeds of succulent plants is very short, for example, the life span of the seeds in Tang Guang is only a few weeks. Generally, the seeds of succulents will be stored at room temperature for 1 year, and the germination rate will drop rapidly. For this reason, many succulents are harvested and sown immediately after the seeds are ripe, or stored in the following spring sowing.

2. Cutting: This is the most commonly used propagation method of succulents, and the common ones are leaf cutting, stem cutting and root cutting.

Leaf cuttings, often placed with thick leaves on a slightly wet sand bed or loose soil surface, will soon take root and grow adventitious buds at the base of leaves to form small plants, such as Tianzhu, Shi Lian and Daye.

Truncation: during the propagation of succulents, the branches are cut into sections for cutting, such as desert rose, Zi Long horn, Rosa davurica, Caiyunge, etc. Desert rose, African overlord tree, breeze, etc. White milk will flow from the wound. Be sure to clean them before cutting and dry them slightly for better results.

In terms of root cutting, the roots of rare varieties such as green jade fan are very thick and developed. Cut off the mature fleshy roots and bury them in the sand bed, the upper part is slightly exposed, and keep a certain humidity and bright light, so that new buds germinate from the top of the roots and form complete small plants.

3. Grafting: In succulents, grafting is often used to propagate spotted brocade and improve varieties. Such as overlord whip as rhizome, grafting spring peak; Horse teeth browse the tree as a rhizome and graft the dance of elegant music; The grafted African overlord tree was decorated with African overlord tree as rootstock; Using rhinoceros horn as rootstock and grafting Zi Long horn has a good ornamental effect. But in the process of grafting, because the plant contains white emulsion, it is sticky. Therefore, the grafting operation should be fast and skilled in order to succeed.

4. ramet: ramet is the simplest and safest method to propagate succulents. As long as it is a rosette leaf or a cluster of succulents, it can be propagated through its buds, stems, bulbs, tubers and small plants, and it can be carried out when changing pots in spring. Of course, among the succulents, there are varieties with spotted brocade, such as Phnom Penh Huweilan, Raytheon Princess Brocade, Sleepless Brocade and Green Jade Fan Brocade. , must be branched and propagated to maintain the purity of its varieties.
