As the seeds of this species are very small, you can also mix the planting soil with fine sand before sowing. In order to improve the germination rate, the sowing position needs to be dense and there is no need to cover the soil after sowing.

2. Cutting. Take the mature branches of the robust plant, cut them into nodes 5-10 cm long, insert them directly into the sand bed, maintain a certain humidity, and take root in about 15-20 days.

Cultivation techniques of branch apricot

1. Seedling management

After the branch apricot seeds germinate, the seedlings are relatively fragile, so the management should be very meticulous. In the germination stage and even seedling stage of this species, it should not be too wet to prevent the plant from rotting. Watering should take whether the soil is dry as the standard, not directly watering to avoid waterlogging, but should use the way of immersion irrigation, the bottom of the flowerpot will be immersed in shallow water, slowly moisten the basin soil from the small holes in the basin bottom, and let the water slowly infiltrate into the medium. Sometimes the roots of apricot seedlings grow on the surface of the soil, and then the roots need to be gently buried in the soil.

2. Soil

The soil used for sowing branch apricot should be soil with loose texture and good water conservation effect. It is best to use mixed soil. The mixed soil can be composed of nutritious soil, coal ash, sand, plant ash and perlite with a ratio of 4 to 4, and vermiculite to perlite at 4:6:1.

3. Flowerpot

When choosing a sowing bowl for branch apricots, it is best to choose tile pots with good permeability rather than ceramic flowerpots. Because only when the flowerpot is breathable, the pot soil is easy to dry, which is conducive to the germination of seeds. If you can't find a pottery basin, you can also choose a pottery basin. After the sowing bowl is ready, you should put the soil inside. The thickness of the soil into the basin should be controlled at about eight to ten centimeters, and two sides of three centimeters should be vacated.

4. Sunshine

Branch apricots like to have plenty of sunshine, but they can't be exposed to the sun, so they should give shade to the seedlings in summer. In the hot weather, you can put a water plate at the bottom of the flowerpot and pour shallow water to keep the bottom of the pot moist. In the cold winter, move the branches of apricots to a corner that can accept the sun, and keep the basin soil slightly moist.

5. Fertilization

The seed can be fertilized 1-2 months after germination. It is necessary to pay attention to diluting the bought fertilizer as much as possible and still apply fertilizer by immersion irrigation. When the seedlings of the branch apricot grow up, in order to let the seedlings absorb enough nutrients, they should divide the pot in time. The seedlings were watered a week later.

Late maintenance

1. A few days after planting, the seeds sprout, and at this time the seedlings are still relatively fragile, and the soil and air should not be too wet to prevent the roots from rotting. The way of water supply is also relatively strict, do not use sprinkler irrigation. Can find a larger container, fill with water, put the flowerpot into, who will enter the basin soil through the drain, slowly soak all the soil, to achieve the purpose of water supply.

2. Most of these succulent plants like light, but they can't accept exposure to the sun. Pay attention to shade in summer and put them by the indoor window. In winter, you should pay attention to let it be exposed to light all the time, keep it moist, and don't get too much moisture.

Through the above content, I believe you have a certain understanding of the branches of apricot. In fact, for flowers, succulent plants are very easy to grow and maintain, but if you want to make branch apricots more beautiful and exquisite, you need certain maintenance skills.
