How to reproduce Guanyinlian in the latest Araceae

Araceae Guanyinlian, also known as black leaf taro, black leaf Guanyin lotus, etc., for Araceae Amorphophallus genus foliage plants, like semi-shade, avoid strong light exposure. In the semi-overcast environment, the leaf color is fresh and glossy, the leaf vein is clear, and the leaf color is dark green. The main propagation methods are ramet propagation, sowing propagation, leaf insertion propagation and tissue culture seedling propagation. Let's take a look.

Ramet propagation

Guanyinlian is commonly used for ramet propagation. Generally, when the temperature is high in spring and summer, the underground tuber plants with dense tillers are divided along the tuber separation place, so that each part has 2-3 plants, and then planted in the pot. At the same time, it is advisable to keep the basin soil moist and pay attention to foliar spray to facilitate the restoration of new plant growth. It can also dig out the underground tuber before the new buds grow in spring, separate the tuber segments, disinfect the wound with plant ash or sulfur powder, wrap it with water moss after slightly drying, or put it in loose soil with ventilation and drainage, so that it can grow adventitious roots and grow new buds.

Sowing and reproduction

Sowing and propagation is to collect the seeds of Guanyinlian after its flowering and maturity, then germinate the seeds under suitable warm temperature conditions, grow seedlings, and wait for the seedlings to grow up a little.

Leaf cutting propagation

Leaf insertion propagation is to choose a leaf from the growth net of Guanyin lotus to be placed flat in the nutritious soil. After a period of time, the original leaf will grow new leaflet buds and roots, and its roots will be transplanted in the soil for normal cultivation. Until it grows into a new Guanyin lotus.

Tissue culture seedling propagation

Tissue culture seedling propagation is to take Guanyinlian leaves and tubers as larvae, cut the leaves into small pieces and inoculate the whole group, first disinfect them with sterile water, and then use nutrient solution to cultivate young seeds until buds can become seedlings for transplanting.
