How do succulent plants reproduce?

It is relatively easy for succulent plants to reproduce, such as grafting, cutting, sowing, root cutting, ramet, leaf cutting, interception and so on. Among them, sowing propagation is more common in apricot family, and leaf insertion is the most efficient in sedum reproduction. Intercepting the growing point is the most suitable for the genus Phragmiaceae, while grafting propagation is the most widely used in cactus. Let's take a look at how succulent plants reproduce.

Leaf cutting propagation

The main results are as follows: 1. Shake and gently pick the fresh and mature leaves of Sedum, Euphorbia, windmill and other plants, so as not to destroy the growing point of the leaf base.

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

3. If the freshly picked leaves are gently placed on the medium, the leaves can only be placed horizontally facing up or leaning against the basin wall. do not insert the leaves into the soil, otherwise the leaves will rot.

4. depending on different varieties, small buds will sprout at the base of the leaves after about 2 to 4 weeks, and the leaves will be successfully inserted when the buds grow out of the roots or when the leafless buds grow into leaves.

5. After the mother leaves are completely dried up 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. The grafting of succulent plants should be carried out in the growing period, and the most suitable season is the peak growing season in early summer. Grafting in sunny days with high temperature, humidity and humidity should be operated in the early morning when the air is dry.

2. When choosing rootstocks and scions, you should choose strong and disease-free ones, not the too old parts of Lignification, but those that are too young are not suitable.

3. The interface of rootstock is determined by a variety of factors. Varieties without chlorophyll should be grafted higher to ensure adequate light and product supply.

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

5. It takes about 2 weeks to manage carefully. After that, the shade can not be exposed to direct sunlight, and the interface can not be stained with water before it is completely healed.

6. Lateral buds from rootstocks after survival should be removed as soon as possible so as not to affect the growth of scions.

Cuttage propagation

The main results are as follows: 1. Cutting propagation has the characteristics of fast growth, early flowering and keeping the original varieties. Because the succulent plants are not easy to wither, it is easy for cuttings to survive.

2. It is best to start cutting at the beginning of the Spring Festival, take materials from healthy plants or parts, and disinfect them so as to avoid incision infection.

3. The cuttings that have just been picked are not easy to be cut immediately, but should be placed in a dry, ventilated, warm and illuminated place with scattered light, so that the wound can produce callus and then be inserted into the substrate after closure.

4. The cutting substrate should choose the material with good ventilation, water retention and good drainage performance, such as perlite vermiculite and so on.

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

Note: some species of Prunus subfamily of Amygdalaceae, Artemisia of Cyperaceae, and tequila of Aspartaceae can not be propagated by cutting because their stems are fragile or stemless.

Adventitious bud propagation

The main results are as follows: 1. The plants of the rooting group of the genus crassulaceae will produce small adventitious buds at the edge of the leaves, which can take root and sprout on the medium.

2. The sturdy leaves can be laid flat on the sand bed in spring and close to the sand to avoid direct sunlight.

3. The plantlets can grow from the tooth deficiency of the leaf edge about one week after insertion, and the medium humidity can be increased to promote the growth of young plants after rooting.

4. The rooted plantlets from the leaf margin can also be plucked from the mother leaves and placed on the soil to form a plant of its own.
