How do the latest succulent plants reproduce?

Succulent plant propagation is relatively easy, commonly used are grafting, cuttage, seeding, root cutting, plant division, leaf cutting, interception of growth points, etc., among which seeding propagation is more common in the apricot family, leaf insertion is the most efficient in the propagation of Crassulaceae, interception of growth points is the most suitable for the genus Lepidotus, and grafting propagation is most widely used in the cactus family, let's take a look at how succulent plants reproduce!

leaf insertion propagation

1. Shake the fresh mature leaves of Crassulaceae, Pachyphylla, Pinwheel and other plants from left to right, and do not destroy the growth point at the base of the leaves.

2. Put a flat basin into the medium, and the surface needs to be paved.

3. Place the freshly picked leaves gently on the medium, and only lay the leaves flat upward or lean against the pot wall. Do not insert the leaves into the soil, otherwise it will cause the leaves to rot.

4, depending on different varieties, about 2 to 4 weeks after the base of the leaves will sprout small buds, when the small buds grow roots or leafless small buds grow leaves, even if the leaf insertion is successful.

5. When the mother leaves are completely withered and their nutrients are absorbed by the new leaves, they can be removed, and the young plants can be replanted at this time.

grafting propagation

1, succulent plant grafting should be carried out in the growth period, the best season is the early summer growth season, choose warm and humid sunny grafting, dry air should be operated in the early morning.

2. Rootstock and scion should be healthy and disease-free, not lignified too old parts, but too young and tender are not suitable.

3. The height of rootstock interface is determined by many factors. The varieties without chlorophyll should be connected higher to ensure sufficient light and product supply.

4. The grafting operation of cactus succulent plants is relatively simple, and it is operated with a thinner blade.

5, need about 2 weeks of careful management, after the shade, can not direct sunlight, in the complete healing before the interface can not be stained with water.

6. The lateral buds and branches produced by the rootstock after survival should be removed as soon as possible so as not to affect the growth of the scion.

cutting propagation

1. Cuttage propagation has the characteristics of fast growth, early flowering and maintaining the original variety. Due to the characteristics of succulent plants that are not easy to wither, cuttage survival is easy.

2, cutting is best to start growing in the Spring Festival, cutting from healthy plants or parts, disinfection treatment, so as not to cut infected.

3, just picked not easy to immediately cuttage, should be placed in a dry and ventilated, warm and scattered light irradiation place, so that the wound callus closed and then inserted into the matrix.

4, cutting substrate should be selected good ventilation, that is, water retention and good drainage performance of materials, such as perlite vermiculite.

5. After cuttage, attention should be paid to controlling the humidity of the substrate, watering less or not watering.

Note: Some species in the subfamily Scaphioideae of Psilocarpus family, the genus Lepidium of Eupatorium family and the genus Agave of Asparagus family cannot be propagated by cutting because of weak or stemless stems.

adventitious bud propagation

1. The plants in the Rooting Group of Kalanthes of Crassulaceae will produce small adventitious buds at the edge of leaves, which can take root and germinate on the medium.

2, can be in the spring will be healthy leaves flat on the sand bed, close to the sand, avoid direct sunlight.

3. Plantlets can grow from the leaf edge teeth gap about 1 week after transplanting. After rooting, the humidity of medium can be increased to promote the growth of young plants.

4, can also be from the leaf edge teeth out of the long, rooted small plants from the mother leaves removed and placed on the soil, so that it has a plant.
