How to breed mirror grass, mirror grass breeding methods (cuttings/ramets/seeding)

Mirror grass, a powerful foliage plant, it not only looks good, can purify the air, but also has a very good use in medicine. Such plants are naturally kept at home by many people, but is a pot of mirror grass too monotonous? It's time to breed a few more pots. How can mirror grass breed? The following are three common breeding methods of mirror grass. Let's learn together.

1. How to breed mirror grass, cutting/dividing plants/sowing

There are three main ways to propagate mirror grass: cutting, rationing and sowing. Cutting is to take the tiller on the stem of the plant, peel it off and plant it in the wet sand bed to wait for rooting; rafting is to divide several clusters of mirror grass plants and distinguish planting; sowing is to take the seeds of mirror grass and spread them evenly in the pot soil to wait for germination.

(1) The method of propagation of mirror grass cuttings

Cuttage time: mirror grass hi warm environment, cuttage is best selected in spring April or autumn September, at this time the highest plant activity, cuttage survival rate is higher.

Selection of cuttings: on mirror grass plants, select tillers (branches growing from the base of the stem) that occur on the stem and peel them off as cuttings.

Cuttage start: the cuttings into clusters planted in wet sand bed, appropriate watering, water spray, maintain a high humidity, and cuttage pots placed in the shade. After doing so, half a month can take root, 1 month later can be on the pot, after which according to the cultivation method of mirror grass to maintain it.

Note: mirror grass cuttings can also be used as cuttings leaves, but this cutting substrate requirements are high, must be washed clean water after the medium coarse sand, because the river sand permeability is good, conducive to rooting, and not rotten.

(2)Plant division propagation method of mirror grass

Dividing time: mirror grass vitality is strong, as a leaf plant, propagation methods in addition to cuttage, but also can choose dividing method. This method is suitable for spring and summer, when the temperature is about 20℃, the survival rate of ramets is high.

ramet initiation: when the newly sprouted lateral branches of the stem nodes of the mirror grass plant grow more than 3 leaves, the roots with fibers are cut off as ramet seedlings. After the wound is smeared with furnace ash, the seedlings are planted in the soil rich in humus, and then watered appropriately, and the flowerpot is slightly shaded, and can survive for about 10 days.

(3)Sowing and breeding method of mirror grass

After the mirror grass blooms, it can collect seeds, so how does the mirror grass reproduce? You can use the seeding method. However, mirror grass seeds are small, so after sowing, the soil should not be deep, otherwise it is not easy to emerge. Do not water after sowing, so as not to wash away the tiny seeds, and so on it grows to a certain extent after emergence, can be transplanted.

In general, the propagation of mirror grass, whether it is cuttings, sub-plants, or sowing, can be successful, but the most suitable for indoor flower friends to use or cuttings. Of course, the method is dead, people are alive, we can choose according to the actual situation. As for the breeding method of mirror grass, Xiaobian introduced this, hoping to bring help to everyone.

1. The propagation method of mirror grass:

Can be in the stem base or stem node new germination of lateral branches grow more than 3 leaves, with fibrous roots cut, wounds coated with ashes, with rich humus-rich soil planted in the pot, slightly shaded, sprayed with water, about 10 days can survive. Can also be used in spring and summer with top cuttings into the sand bed, with plastic film moisture, at about 20℃ temperature, about 10 days can take root.

2. Cutting:

Can be in late summer and early autumn with a sharp edge on the plant stem tiller carefully stripped, planted in clusters in wet sand bed, placed in the shade, maintain a high air humidity, half a month to root, 1 month later can be potted. Leaf insertion can refer to Begonia leaf insertion method. Can also be used stem cut into about 3 cm small section for cuttage.

3. Sowing:

Mirror grass in Yunnan can be seeded reproduction, mirror grass seeds small, sowing should not be deep, sowing deep is not easy to emerge.

The above is about the mirror grass breeding method introduction, after reading, interested friends hurry to try it! Let's take a look at the growth habits of mirror grass, understand these are good for you to reproduce mirror grass yo!
