Propagation method of firecracker flower

I. split-plant method

1. We can breed firecracker flowers by pressing strips and cutting, as well as ramets. However, the method of striping is the fastest to take root, and the survival rate is higher than that of cutting.

2. Ramets generally choose sturdy branches that grow for more than a year after flowering, deliberately burn the parts that are going to buy into the soil, bury them in a thick soil layer of about 10 centimeters, fix them with bamboo, and don't let them pop out. The soil is often moist enough that we can cut it off from the mother plant in autumn and plant it separately.

2. Cutting method

1. Late March is the best month for firecracker cuttings. Choose the stout branches of a year or so as cuttings, and then put the selected cuttings into the wet sand bed and spray moisture. When the weather and temperature are stable at about 21 degrees, the cuttings can take root in about 26 days, and the survival rate is 70%.

2. After a month, it will be moved to the nursery for cultivation, and the seedlings can emerge in one year. After emergence, the seedlings will be planted separately in the nursery, they will blossom in the second year, and can be afforested into a sea of firecrackers in the third year.

3. You can also use the old stem cuttage, that is, you can choose the sturdy old stem that grows from the root, which can be more than 2 meters long and can be planted in the fertile sandy soil. In giving it a semi-shady environment, it can take root in about two months. After cutting, there is no need to take care of it. Let it branch and grow leaves on its own.

3. Strip pressing method

Striping refers to mainly using the rattan that has fallen on the ground to press a layer of soil on the injured skin in the leaf axil. This step can be carried out from spring to autumn. The editor recommends that summer striping is the most appropriate. It can take root within a month. Cut off the new branches in a month and a half, as a new plant cultivation, the firecracker flowers planted by pressing can bloom that year. Most of us are used as potted plants, not suitable for raising seedlings in the nursery.
