Introduction to the propagation method of star begonia

Begonia punctata

1, sowing propagation can be carried out in early spring, mature seeds will be sown in the propagation pot, filled with humus soil, maintain about 16℃ and a certain humidity, you can take root. When the seedlings appear 2 - 3 true leaves, they can be transplanted to the pot.

2. Cuttage propagation is best from May to June. Select the top shoots of plants as cuttings, about 10~15 cm long, and insert them into the sand bed. Spray sand bed every day, generally 2~3 weeks after planting can take root.

3. Cluster varieties can also be propagated by dividing plants. Divide the plant roots into several clusters to avoid damaging the roots, and then plant them in pots respectively.

Star Begonia breeding methods introduced!

Star-spotted begonia is a very beautiful indoor ornamental flower, has been popular, it has a high ornamental value. Begonia star-dotted for temperate plants, like scattered light and humid environment, cold resistance is not strong. Begonia stellata has smooth stems and nodes resembling bamboo nodes. Leaves alternate, oblong and oblique, green surface, attached to most small spots, leaf back and petiole are dark red. Today, we will briefly introduce the breeding method of Begonia star-dot. Star-dotted begonia breeding methods: Begonia star-dot commonly used seeding or cuttage propagation, but also can be used to subplant propagation, but mainly to seed or cuttage propagation. Sowing propagation can be carried out in early spring, mature seeds will be sown in the propagation pot, filled with humus soil, maintain about 16℃ and a certain humidity, you can take root. When the seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, they can be transplanted into the pot. Cuttage propagation in May-June effect is best, select the top shoots of plants as cuttings, about 10-15 cm long, inserted into the sand bed culture. Spray sand bed every day, generally 2-3 weeks after insertion can take root. Cluster varieties can also be propagated by ramets. Divide the plant roots into several clusters to avoid damaging the roots, and then plant them in pots respectively. Cultivation methods: Breed star dot begonia should choose loose fertile moldy soil, can be moldy soil, peat soil, garden soil equal mix. Breed star begonias should be placed in semi-shady or bright light and good ventilation of the place for conservation. Begonia stellata leaves are tender, too strong sunlight is easy to cause leaf burns, so shade treatment should be carried out after summer. Begonia starburst likes a moist growing environment, watering frequently during its growing season to keep the pot soil moist. When the room temperature is lower than 15℃ in winter, watering should be strictly controlled, or spraying should be used instead of watering. Compound fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium can be applied once a month or thin liquid fertilizer can be applied once every two weeks in the growth period of Begonia starata to promote the luxuriant branches and leaves of Begonia starata. The optimum temperature for the growth of Begonia stellata is 18-21℃, and too high a temperature is easy to cause scorched leaves. Therefore, in the high temperature season, attention should be paid to cooling the star begonia, which can be cooled by spraying water on the plants and the surrounding environment. The winter temperature should not be lower than 8℃. In general, winter breeding star begonia plants to be placed indoors in the morning and evening can see sunlight, stop fertilizer control water, weekly with water close to room temperature washing leaves. Begonia star-dotted usually to carry out appropriate pruning, in order to maintain the beauty of the plant and good ventilation. In addition, attention should be paid to the prevention and control of Begonia starata pests. If root-knot insects harm the root system, it will affect the absorption of the root system, resulting in short and chlorotic plants. Nematicides such as Kexiandan can be buried around the root system for control. In addition, when the air humidity is too high and the ventilation is poor, gray mold is easy to occur, and ventilation and medication should be strengthened.

cutting propagation

The best effect is from May to June. The top shoots of the plants are selected as cuttings, about 10~15 cm long, and inserted into the sand bed. Spray sand bed every day, generally 2~3 weeks after planting can take root.

division propagation

Cluster varieties can also be used for propagation by dividing the roots of plants into several clusters, avoiding damage to the roots, and then planting them in pots.

Control of Begonia punctata diseases and insect pests

If root knot insects harm the root system, it will affect the absorption of the root system, resulting in short and chlorotic plants. Nematicides such as Kexiandan can be buried around the root system for control.

In addition, when the air humidity is too high and the ventilation is poor, gray mold is easy to occur, and ventilation and medication should be strengthened.
