How do calla lilies reproduce? the survival rate of three propagation methods / ramets of calla is high.

Calla lilies, a pure white flower with beautiful plant shape, is definitely a good choice to keep a pot at home. However, many flower friends are not satisfied, because a pot of calla lilies flowering is really too monotonous, more pots of flowers can be beautiful, and this requires us to master the method of propagation of calla lilies, then how to reproduce calla lilies? Follow the editor to find out.

1. How to propagate calla lilies, separate plants / sow / divide balls

There are many varieties of calla lotus, rich in flowers and colors, white, red, pink and so on, each of which is amazingly beautiful! If you raise one species alone, do you feel monotonous? it's time to breed more pots of calla lilies of different colors. As for how calla lilies reproduce, there are three main methods: ramet, sowing and ball division. Next, let's learn more about it.

2. Three propagation methods of calla lilies

Ramet, sowing, ball division

(1) ramet propagation of calla lilies.

1. Ramet time

If you want to breed calla lilies, the most common way is to split, and choosing the right time is very important. Time 1: from May to June, when the old leaves of calla gradually wither and grow new leaves, it can split; time 2: in mid-September, calla needs to change pots, which can be combined with pot change for ramet propagation.

2. Selection of basin soil

In the culture method of calla lily, we introduced its requirements for soil, and all flower friends need to choose a good soil. Ramet propagation basin soil is available: fertile sandy garden soil, rotten leaf soil, rotten organic compost according to the proportion of 3:1:1, plus appropriate amount of calcium superphosphate mixed configuration. Note that the soil needs to be sterilized by hot sun exposure.

3. The beginning of ramet propagation

When changing the basin in September, split the roots of calla lilies and remember that the incision should be dipped in plant ash to play the role of disinfection. After that, according to the size of the roots of calla lilies, they were planted in mud pots of different sizes, each pot could plant 1-3 rhizomes, and the buds should be upward.

4. Maintenance after ramet

After the above steps, the ramet propagation of calla lilies is basically completed, of course, the rest of the maintenance is also very important. After breeding, can not immediately watering, in order to avoid rotting roots, as long as keep the basin soil moist. Flower friends can first put the pot in less light and half-shade, wait for germination, and then move to a place with light conditions for normal maintenance and management.

(2) sowing and propagation of calla lilies

1. Calla lily seeds

In addition to ramets, calla lilies can also be propagated by sowing. When the seeds of calla lilies are ripe and harvested, they should be sown immediately, because the seeds have a short life span and should not be preserved for a long time. Environment: indoor pot sowing is dominant, and the suitable temperature for germination is 18-24 ℃.

2. Sowing begins

Sowing and reproduction should be sowed in pots. After the prepared seeds are sown in the basin, the flowers are covered with soil of 1.0-1.5 cm, slightly suppressed, fully watered, kept at a room temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius and germinated for 2-3 weeks. After sowing and propagation, calla lilies can be seen after 2 years of careful cultivation.

(3) Ball propagation of calla lilies.

Dividing balls is also one of the propagation methods of calla lilies. When it goes into dormancy, we can cut off the small spherical plants around its tubers and plant them separately.

It is worth mentioning that the dormancy period of calla lilies varies from region to region. Cultivated in the Yangtze River Basin and the north of China, calla lilies will go dormant in summer due to high temperature and drought, while calla lilies will not dormant all year round in subtropical regions where winter is not cold and summer is not dry and hot.

How to propagate calla lilies with seeds

Calla is a valuable flower, and its flowers and leaves have high ornamental value, but calla is generally propagated by split-plant method in the north, and the reproduction rate is low. According to the author's experience, calla lilies can be propagated with seeds in the north, and the reproduction rate is high. About 250 seeds can be produced per inflorescence, and the germination rate and survival rate are more than 90%. The methods are as follows:

From early February to late April, the white, robust and large calla lotus variety was selected and the artificial pollination method was adopted: when the calla lotus flower was just blooming, the bracts were gently torn off without harming its tissue, so that the pistil in the lower part of the flower ear was completely exposed. Pollination should be sufficient. In order to ensure the success of pollination, pollination can be done once a day for 2 to 3 times in a row. Pollination should select cross-flower pollen, during this period must control the temperature, about 20 ℃ in the day, 10 ℃ at night, avoid too high temperature. The ovary was obviously enlarged about 15 days after pollination and matured about two months. The fruit was spike-shaped and orange, like a small pineapple, washed, dried and stored in a ventilated and dry place.

Start sowing in early August, it is best to sprout before sowing, soak the seeds with about 70 ℃ of hot water, pour them out after cooling, cover with several layers of wet cloth, keep moist, and rinse with water every two days. Sprout in about 15 days, sow seeds in a prepared seedbed or shallow basin and cover the seeds with soil. Pay attention to proper shading, humidity should be higher, the temperature should not be too high, so that the seedlings will grow out of the soil in a week or so, and can be managed according to the general management method of calla lilies in the future.
