So how to breed when planting lantern flowers? The following editor brings you the breeding method of lantern flowers, let's have a look!

1. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is a common propagation method of lantern flower, which can be propagated in spring, autumn and winter. However, cutting in spring, its rooting speed is the fastest, followed by autumn. Cuttings should be selected before cutting. the quality of cuttings directly affects the survival rate of cuttings. Choose sturdy, disease-and insect-free, Lignification-free branches within two years. Then cut it into cuttings about 8 cm long, keep about 3 leaves in the upper part, and then remove all the leaves in the lower part of the cuttings.

After selecting the cuttings, soak the base of the cuttings in potassium permanganate and other solutions for about half an hour, then take out the cuttings and cut them directly into the substrate. The cutting substrate can be made of garden soil, river sand and other substances common in daily life. Because this kind of substrate does the least damage to the young roots of cuttings, it can improve the survival rate of young roots. Then insert the cuttings into about half of the substrate, water them in time after insertion, and then provide sufficient light, watering about twice a day, about 3-4 weeks can take root.

2. Striping propagation

Striping propagation is also suitable for the reproduction of lantern flowers. The time of striping is the same as that of cutting propagation, and spring and autumn is the best. It is also the choice of strong and wound-free branches on the plants of Lantern Flowers. Then peel the branch around 15-30 cm at the top of the branch, keep the width at about 1 cm, and peel off the epidermis. Then put some wet garden soil in thin film and wrap it around the place where the branches are peeled. Then tie the two ends of the film tightly, so that the middle bulge, about five weeks later can take root. Then the branch was peeled off from the mother plant and became a new plant.

3. Sowing and reproduction

In addition to the above methods of reproduction, lantern flowers can also be sown and propagated. Lantern flowers after flowering, will produce seeds, lantern words in the sowing and reproduction, the city is relatively slow, suitable for large-scale reproduction. Lantern flower seeds do not need to be treated, just sprinkle the seeds on the soil. The temperature is controlled at about 24 degrees to keep the soil moist and avoid direct sunlight. It can take root and sprout after about 30 days, but the growth rate of lantern flower seedlings is relatively slow, so it takes a lot of time.
