How does the golden tiger cactus reproduce?

The golden tiger cactus is an important ornamental cactus, which is loved by many flower friends. So how do golden tiger cactus reproduce? Let's take a look at it.

I. sowing method

The emergence rate of seeds harvested in the same year is high. Choose full Jincheng seeds (black) in spring or autumn, soak the seeds for two days, and then sow the soil. About 7 mi sprouted in 10 days. When the bulb grows to 1 cm, press the plant row spacing of 5 × 5 cm. As long as 4 cm, it can be planted, one for each small pot. At 30-40 days after germination, the seedling sphere has the size of rice or mung bean, which can be transplanted or grafted on the rootstock.

Second, the method of ball grafting.

The seedlings that have been cultivated for more than 3 months are grafted on a tender ruler to grow. When the scion grows to a certain size or the rootstock cannot support it, it can be cut off, dry the wound and then cut into the pot. In the good environment of fertile soil and air circulation, the seedlings without grafting grow very fast. After potting, the seedlings or grafted balls should be placed in a semi-shaded place, avoid direct sunlight, and the sphere will not shrink after 7 days and 10 days, that is, it will survive.

Third, cutting method

This is the most commonly used method of reproduction, which can be carried out all the year round. First, mature pieces are cut from the mother plant, placed in the shade for half a day, and then cut. This is the key to survival. The cutting substrate should choose materials with good ventilation, both water retention and good drainage, such as perlite, vermiculite and river sand, do not water after cutting, only spray to make the sand slightly wet.

IV. Grafting method

The method of grafting can promote the growth and blossom ahead of time. In the growing season, except for the perishable incision in the growing season, it can be grafted at any other time, but September is the most suitable. The rootstock selects the three-angled arrow which has a strong affinity with the golden tiger cactus. When grafting, make a horizontal cross-cutting at the appropriate height of the rootstock, then cross-cut the lower part of the scion ball horizontally, and immediately stick the scion on the section of the rootstock (pay attention to make at least part of the vascular bundle in the center of the scion and the rootstock close). Then bind the basin longitudinally with thin thread to make the upper and lower incisions join closely, and place the basin in a slightly shaded place after grafting, and cover it with plastic film to maintain air humidity. The binding can be unbound after 3 to 7 days.

After the golden tiger cactus breeds, it still needs to do some management work such as temperature, light, watering and so on, so that it can grow more luxuriantly.
