Propagation method of firecracker flower

Cuttage propagation

The most common method of propagation is cuttage propagation. The cuttage propagation of firecracker flowers is generally chosen in spring, because the survival rate of propagation is higher during this period. First of all, we should select the appropriate cuttings, cut the mature stems of firecrackers, select robust, disease-free branches, retain more than two buds, and then cuttage, the cuttings of firecrackers into the sand bed, generally need to be inserted into 2/3, gently press the base of the cuttings, you can make the cuttings and soil closer, to be fully watered. Pay attention to keep the soil moist, spray water on the leaves and keep it in a semi-shady place.

Striping propagation

The firecracker flower carries on the strip propagation, mainly uses the landing vine, injures the skin and presses the soil in the leaf armpit, can be carried out from spring to autumn, and summer is the most suitable. It can be rooted in 20-30 days, cut into a new plant in about one and a half months, and can blossom in the same year. More potted flower cultivation, or direct pressing in the container, do not move to the nursery to raise seedlings.

After successful reproduction, what else should we pay attention to in our daily maintenance?

Culture method of firecracker flower soil

Because firecracker flowers do not have high requirements for soil, we need to plant them in soil rich in organic matter and good drainage, and the soil layer should be deep. Generally, you can use rotten leaf soil and garden soil, sand mixed soil, and put some mature fertilizer or bean cake to make base fertilizer.

Light

Firecrackers like a growing environment with plenty of light and a warm climate. Keeping enough light every day helps them bloom more vigorously.

Temperature

The suitable temperature for firecracker growth is 18 to 25 degrees, which is not cold-resistant. It is necessary to maintain a high temperature in winter, and it is generally needed to be more than 10 ℃ when overwintering. In the north, it can be placed in a sunny place indoors.

Watering

Firecracker flower watering should follow a principle, see dry see wet, basin soil should not have stagnant water. In general, it is necessary to water more when the temperature is high in summer, sometimes it is necessary to sprinkle flowerpots and the ground to increase air humidity and cool down, and autumn watering requires appropriate less watering.

Fertilizer application

The fertilization of firecrackers is usually applied with thin liquid fertilizer once every two weeks in the growing season. Phosphate fertilizer should be applied once or twice during the flower budding period, and nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once after the flower fades. The amount of water should be controlled and fertilizer should be stopped during overwintering.

So, do you know what you need to pay attention to in the process of firecracker culture?

Propagation method of firecracker flower

Cutting propagation of firecracker flower

Because the firecracker flower is not easy to get seeds, so when propagating, the firecracker flower is mostly propagated by cutting. Firecracker flowers are propagated by cuttings, which are usually carried out in spring.

First of all, it is necessary to select suitable cuttings, cut the mature stems of firecrackers, select robust, pest-free branches, cut off about 10cm--15cm, need to have 3 or 4 nodes and retain more than 2 buds.

Then is to carry on the cuttage, the firecracker flower cuttings on the sand bed, generally need to insert 2/3, gently press the base of the cuttings, can make the cuttings and soil closer, should be fully watered.

Finally, it is necessary to maintain reasonably. The firecracker flowers after cutting need to keep the soil moist, spray water on the leaves and keep them in a semi-shady place for maintenance. Generally, after cutting, the stems and leaves of firecrackers have not shrunk, which shows that they grow well and can take root in about 40 days, and the survival rate of cutting propagation is still relatively high.

When the small seedlings of firecrackers grow to more than 15cm, you can transplant them into a pot, pour enough water into the pot and put them in a semi-shady place for maintenance.

Striping propagation of firecracker flower

Firecrackers can also be used for striping propagation, which is mainly carried out in spring and summer.

If the longer branches of firecrackers are buried in the soil, a circle of bark can be removed to facilitate rooting. generally, new roots can grow in about a month. Cut off the branches with roots and replant them.

Firecracker flowers can also press the branches directly into the flowerpot.

The firecracker flower of the strip can generally blossom in the same year.
