How does Fu Lukao reproduce?

Fulukao is originally from Mexico and is cultivated in courtyards all over the country. It is mostly used as a potted plant to decorate flower beds in early spring. Its flowers and colors are light red, deep red, purple, white, light yellow and so on. So do you know how it propagates? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Ramet propagation

The ramet propagation of Fulukao is generally carried out in early spring or autumn. The method of ramet propagation is relatively simple and survives quickly, but it is not suitable for mass reproduction and is generally used for family pot cultivation. Ramet propagation makes use of the strong ability of root tillers, which is very easy to sprout in the process of growth, so we can plant the sprouting tillers around the mother plant, and soon a new sprouting plant will be dug out and planted. It should be noted that the sprouting plants have complete roots as far as possible to improve the survival rate.

2. Striping propagation

Striping reproduction can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, as long as it is not winter, crimping reproduction can be divided into two types: heap soil crimping and ordinary striping reproduction, we can choose freely. Among them, the heap pressing strips cultivate the soil at the base of the plant into the shape of steamed bread, so that it can be separated and planted after rooting, while the ordinary striping is to completely bury the lower part of the 1-2-year-old branch close to the plastic film into the soil, and the upper end of the branch is on the ground. When pressing, first of all, part of the branches buried in the soil should be cut, which is conducive to rooting. Generally, it can be separated and replanted with the mother plant after taking root in about one month.

3. Cuttage propagation

Fu Lukao's cutting is the most widely used and the highest survival rate of all propagation methods, and it can be divided into three propagation methods: root cutting, stem cutting and leaf cutting. First of all, the method of root insertion propagation can be carried out in spring and autumn, often combined with planting, first cut part of the root into a small section of about 30cm, bury it flat in the sand, keep the ambient temperature between 15 and 20 degrees, while keeping the soil moist, new buds can grow in about one month. Then there is the method of stem insertion propagation, which can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, generally after flowering, which is suitable for mass production. After flowering, it is combined with pruning to head, take the branches that grow and enrich, intercept cuttings 3 to 5 centimeters long, and insert them into clean aseptic sand. The row spacing is 2 to 3 centimeters, and the soil moisture can be maintained for about 30 days. In summer, attention should be paid to disinfection so as not to rot the cuttings. The last one is the method of leaf insertion propagation, which is generally carried out in summer, take leaves with axillary buds, with 2 cm long stems, insert them in clean aseptic sand, pay attention to shade, and keep the soil moist, rooting for about 30 days.
