How do cactus reproduce? A few minutes will teach you to get to know the cactus quickly.

Cactus breeding to see this question, Xiao Qi must come to answer. Because Xiaoqi has been raising cactus for many years, and he has raised too much. Now there are tens of thousands of cactus in the flower shed, which is also my favorite, so I should have a say. The only way to reproduce cactus is seed sowing and lateral bud propagation.

Lateral bud propagation

After the cactus grows to a certain size, its size will not grow. At that time, the little cactus will be born infinitely. When these small cactus grow to a certain size, they will grow their own roots. If it grows big enough, you can peel it off from the matrix. After drying the wound, put it on the soil and it will take root. When the root system is good, it will be a big one. The advantage of breeding in this way is that he will not change sex, and his original design and color is exactly the same as that of his mother. This is also the most common method of cactus reproduction.

The cactus grows relatively slowly. Therefore, the speed of lateral bud division is also relatively slow. May be able to reproduce a few a year, of course, the kind of ordinary white and pink cactus, its reproduction rate of lateral buds meristem rate is very fast. A better variety of cactus, which propagates very slowly. We have to let it grow rapidly through grafting, split lateral buds, grafting we can choose cactus or, triangle, measuring feet are OK, their root system is very developed, nutrients can supply cactus to grow lateral buds quickly. Therefore, this way of reproduction is suitable for commercial mass reproduction, and there are many in a year, but after such lateral buds come out, it will be more difficult for him to root, because it grows too fast, and nutrients are absorbed through other people's roots. I don't even know that I absorb nutrients through the root system, so I say that the grafted lateral buds should be bought as little as possible, one is difficult to root, and the other is prone to rot in the rooting process.

Seed propagation

Seed reproduction is mainly used to cultivate new varieties, because most varieties of cactus cannot pollinate themselves, they all have to pollinate through other cacti, and they must be of the same genus, and their own pollen cannot be pollinated successfully, which is what we call alienated pollination. Pollinate with pollination from other genera. When the color comes out, it will mutate. Some will not maintain the color of the mother, that is, it is highly changeable, and another is that it takes a year and a half to two years from seed sowing to flowering, and some varieties are longer, which is a long process, so it is more reliable to look at the flowers in a hurry or to buy lateral buds.

These are the two ways in which cactus reproduce. The root system of the seed sown is well developed, and some varieties will have a radish root. After too much watering, it is not easy to rot, strong drought tolerance, lateral bud reproduction, the root system is weaker than the seed sowing site. If you water too much, it is easy to rot. This is the pros and cons of the two ways of reproduction. You can refer to it.
