Propagation methods of calla lilies

The propagation method of calla lily is mainly divided ball propagation. After the plant enters the dormant period, peel off the small balls around the tuber, plant separately, or sow and propagate. After the seeds are ripe, they are sown in pots, and the appropriate temperature for germination is about 20 ℃. Let's take a look at the propagation methods of calla lilies together.

Sowing and propagation of calla lilies

The seed propagation of calla lanceolata is mainly indoor pot sowing, the optimum temperature for germination is 18-24 ℃, germinates 15-20 days after sowing, and the seedlings need to be cultivated for 3-4 years to blossom.

Ramet propagation of calla lilies

1. The method of separating tubers: at the end of May, when calla lilies began to enter dormancy, the method of reducing watering was used to accelerate dormancy. After the leaves all turned yellow, the tubers were taken out and stored in a cool and ventilated place, and then planted according to the size of the tubers when autumn came.

2. Plant split method: after flowering in spring, calla generally enters dormancy due to the rise of air temperature. the method of plant division is not to let it dormancy, but to let it continue to grow in a well-ventilated place. After entering the autumn, combined with turning the pot to split the plant, calla will be divided into 2 to 3 pots according to the size of the plant.
