Propagation method of firecracker flower

1.

It can take root after 20-30 days, cut it into a new plant after a month and a half, and bloom in the same year. Plant more potted plants. Or directly press the strip in the container, do not move to the nursery to raise seedlings.

2. "planting": for cuttings cut by firecrackers, branches with strong growth and no diseases and insect pests should be selected, and the length should be about 10 meters. Each cuttings should have 3-4 nodes and 2 buds, and should be cut at 0.5 meters below the node to facilitate rooting. After insertion, press the base of the cuttings slightly with your fingers, so that the base of the cuttings is closely combined with the medium, and then pour enough water with a fine spray pot. After every 1-2 days, need to carry out a foliar spray to keep 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.
