Propagation of succulents:

1. Sowing: The advantage is that a large number of seedlings can be obtained at one time. 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. 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. Different families and genera have different sowing and germination times. It can germinate 2 days earlier and 25 days later.

2. Inserting leaves: Hypertrophic leaves are often placed on a slightly wet sand bed or loose soil surface, which will soon take root, and adventitious buds will grow at the base of the leaves to form small plants, such as Tianzhu, Shi Lian and Daye.

3. Stem cutting: During the propagation of succulent plants, 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.

4. Root cutting: For rare varieties of Liliaceae, the roots are thick and developed. Cut off the mature fleshy roots and bury them in the sand bed, keeping the upper part slightly exposed, so that new buds germinate from the top of the roots and form complete small plants.

5. 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.

6. ramet: ramet is the simplest and safest way to breed 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.

How to raise succulents? Preparation before planting

Please prepare these before planting: humus soil, small gravel (used to decorate the basin surface and keep it clean) and coal stove balls.

Pulverize coal furnace balls, remove oversize blocks, sieve out fine powder, rinse off the fine powder with water, dry in the sun, and then mix with humus soil to keep it loose and breathable.
