A complete Collection of breeding methods of Cactus

Cactus is a succulent plant, it is one of the common plants in our life, cactus is different from other plants, it can release oxygen at night, but also can absorb oxygen, it is very suitable for raising in the family, so do you know how the cactus propagates? The following editor will introduce some of its breeding methods.

1. Sowing and reproduction

Most plants reproduce by sowing, and cacti can also reproduce by sowing, sowing cactus seeds in moist soil, placing them in a cool place and keeping the temperature around 20 degrees Celsius, which will soon sprout. Pay attention to the temperature not lower than 10 degrees in winter, otherwise it will affect the germination of seeds, when the seedlings grow to a certain extent, they can be transplanted and planted, so that the sowing and reproduction can be completed.

2. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is a relatively simple transplanting propagation method in cactus, and the asexual reproduction of cactus is strong. When growers cultivate potted plants in large numbers, the method of cutting propagation is adopted. Select the more luxuriant cactus, cut off its robust stem, and place it in a cool area for about a week. After the wound is dried and healed, it can be cut. The depth of cutting is about 3-5cm, do not water immediately after cutting, should be watered after a few days, watering should not be too much, lest the cuttings rot, generally take root in 15-20 days.

3. Ramet propagation

Ramet propagation is also a kind of asexual reproduction, cactus is very easy to grow seedlings or bulbs, these seedlings or globules will consume a lot of nutrients, which is disadvantageous to the growth of cactus. So it can be cut off and planted separately, and the survival rate is very high, and the specific operation method is the same as cutting propagation. There are also many growers cut off the cactus growth node, after a period of cultivation, a lot of balls will grow near the growth node, and when it grows to a certain extent, it can be transplanted.

4. Grafting propagation

Grafting propagation is a characteristic propagation method, which is generally used to cultivate good varieties, cut a small opening near the growth node, insert the prepared slice into the small mouth, let it be closely connected, and then fix it. After a period of time, they will grow together and the grafting will be completed.
