Every friend who breeds succulent plants will want to breed some cute little succulent plants on their own, so that they can not only enrich their own small garden, but also fully experience the fun of cultivating flowers and plants. So how do succulent plants reproduce? Let's take a look at these four common breeding methods of succulent plants.

First, sowing seeds

In succulent plants, except for a few species that can self-pollinate, most of them belong to insect-pollinated or bird-pollinated flowers, which must be artificially pollinated in order to bear fruit.

The seeds of succulent plants have a short lifespan, such as Guangtang, which lasts only a few weeks. The seeds of general succulent plants are stored at room temperature for one year, and the germination rate decreases quickly. For this reason, many succulent plants are picked and sown after the seeds are ripe or stored for spring sowing in the following year.

Second, cuttage

Cutting is the most commonly used method of propagation of succulent plants, such as leaf cutting, stem cutting and root cutting.

1, leaf cutting, often using thick leaves placed on a slightly moist sand bed or loose soil, will soon take root, adventitious buds on the base of the leaves, forming small plants, such as Tianzhang, stone lotus, big leaves falling to the ground to take root, and so on.

2. stem cutting, in the process of reproduction of succulent plants, combined with pruning and shaping, cutting branches as cuttings, such as desert rose, purple dragon horn, tiger thorn plum, Caiyun Pavilion and so on. Desert roses, African overlord trees, green peaks, etc., which will flow white milk from the cut wound, must be treated with Qianjing, dry a little before cutting, the effect is better.

3. The roots of valuable varieties such as root cuttings and green jade fans are very strong and developed. The more mature fleshy roots are cut off and buried in the sand bed, and the upper part is slightly exposed to maintain a certain amount of moisture and bright light, which can sprout new buds from the top of the roots and form complete plantlets.

III. Grafting
