The following editor brings you the breeding method of dragon boat flower, let's have a look!

1. Sowing and reproduction

When sowing and breeding, seed collection should be carried out in winter, and then spring sowing should be carried out in the following year. After sowing, the temperature should be controlled at about 23 degrees, mainly sowing in the indoor seedling tray, which can germinate in about 3 weeks. Transplant when the seedlings grow about 6 leaves. If you encounter the rainy season, it is necessary to do a good job of drainage, planting must not be too wet, otherwise it will have a greater impact on the flowering of dragon boat flowers. In serious cases, when returning to the plant, there are phenomena such as falling buds and rotten roots, and then we should pay attention to maintaining a good air environment to promote the normal growth of dragon boat flowers.

2. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation should be carried out when it is warm, so cutting propagation can be carried out from March to October every year. First of all, we need to choose a strong branch that is about one year old. Do not be too young, otherwise its survival rate is very low, and it should not be too old, if it is too old, it is more difficult to take root. Then cut it into cuttings of about 12-14 cm, remove the basal leaves and insert them into the matrix. The cuttings remain moist and take root about two months later, and transplant can be carried out about 10 days after rooting to maintain a semi-shady environment. Soaking about 5 sides of the base of cuttings with rooting agent before cutting can increase the rooting rate, shorten the rooting time, and the roots will be more developed.

3. Striping propagation

In addition to sowing and cutting, the dragon boat flower can also be used for striping propagation. The time of striping propagation occurs at the beginning of spring each year, and it is best when the plant has more branches and is more densely distributed. First, select the sturdy branches, and then peel them around the top 20cm. Then wrap it in thin film and peat. It is also about two months to take root. After taking root, the branch is separated from the mother plant and put on the pot to become a new plant. After surviving and tapping, apply thin fertilizer once about half a month, spray water properly when the weather is too dry, and properly pick out the heart when the seedlings grow to 15cm or so to promote the growth of lateral branches.

The above is a brief introduction to the breeding methods of dragon boat flowers. There are many ways to reproduce dragon boat flowers. When breeding, people should choose breeding methods according to their own habits and local weather, so as to ensure the strong growth of dragon boat flowers. That's all for today's introduction.
