Last Updated: 2024/09/20, Firecracker flowers are mainly propagated by cuttings, which are carried out after spring and summer flowers and can be carried out all year round in greenhouse. Cuttings in spring can take root one after another in about 3 weeks. If the cuttings are planted in time and nurtured in time, they will blossom in the same year. Cuttings with strong growth and free from diseases and insect pests should be selected.

Firecracker flowers are mainly propagated by cuttings, which are carried out after spring and summer flowers and can be carried out all year round in greenhouse. Cuttings in spring can take root one after another in about 3 weeks. If the cuttings are planted in time and nurtured in time, they will blossom in the same year.

For cuttings, choose branches with strong growth and free of diseases and insect pests, with a length of about 10 cm. Each cuttage should have 3-4 nodes and 2 buds, and cut at 0.5 cm below the node to facilitate rooting.

Cut the □ to be smooth and in the shape of a mallet. The medium for cutting can be clean fine river sand or a mixture of vermiculite and perlite (1:1).

In the greenhouse, cuttings can be directly inserted on the bed; families grow flowers, like loading the medium into shallow pots or boxes, they all need to use broken tiles at the bottom to facilitate smooth drainage. The cuttage depth is about 3 cm, and the row spacing is slightly wider.

After insertion, press the base of the cuttings slightly with your fingers to make the base of the cuttings closely combine with the medium, and then pour enough water with fine spray, and then spray water on the leaf surface every 1-2 days to keep it moist. After 3 weeks, if the stems and leaves did not atrophy, it still remained tender green, indicating that the cut □ healed well and had taken root, and after about 10 days, it could be transplanted into the pot. The seedlings that have just come into the pot should be fully watered and kept in a semi-shady place for maintenance.

Cutting cuttings, to choose robust growth, disease-free branches, length of about 10 cm, each cuttings need to have 3-4 nodes and 2 buds, cut at 0.5 cm below the node, in order to facilitate the root.

The incision should be smooth and in the shape of a mallet. The medium for cutting can be clean fine river sand or a mixture of vermiculite and perlite (1:1).

In the greenhouse cutting, generally can be directly inserted in the bed; family flowers, generally put the medium into a shallow basin or wooden box, need to use broken tiles at the bottom, in order to facilitate smooth drainage. The depth of cuttage is generally 1 to 3 degrees of cuttings, the plant spacing is about 3 cm, and the row spacing is slightly wider.

After insertion, press the base of the cuttings slightly with your fingers to make the base of the cuttings closely combine with the medium, then pour enough water with a fine spray pot, and then spray water on the leaf surface every 1-2 days to keep it moist. After 3 weeks, if the stems and leaves do not atrophy, it still remains tender green, indicating that the incision has healed well and has taken root, and after about 10 days, it can be transplanted into the pot.
