Sowing method: sowing around April, select seeds with full particles and high maturity, spread the seeds evenly on the surface of the soil, cover the thin soil, moisturize the treatment, and the environment is suitable for the seedlings to emerge soon.
Cuttings: Cut strong branches, insert them into a soft, breathable substrate, water them and take root quickly.
Strip pressing method: select the strong branches, ring peeling treatment, and wrapped in wet soil, and then divide and replant after the rooting is stable.
First, the sowing method
The seeding method can be used when the lantern flowers are propagated, but the seedlings that are sown and germinate grow slowly, so not many are propagated by this method. Sowing is usually carried out around April, the climate is suitable, the temperature is stable, then the sowing can promote better seed germination, but also easy to manage. When sowing, prepare soft, breathable soil in advance, and prepare seeds with full particles and high maturity. After preparation, you can directly sow seeds, the sowing method is very simple, the prepared seeds are evenly sprinkled on the surface of the soil, covered with thin soil, and a small amount of water is sprayed to moisturize, but also to control the temperature between 15-20 ° C, in such an environment lantern flower seeds can soon emerge, seedlings can also grow vigorously.
Second, the cutting method
The cutting method of lantern flowers is simple and the survival rate is high. Cuttings are generally selected in late spring or early autumn, the climate is suitable, and the lantern flowers are in the growing season, the germination ability is strong, can ensure faster rooting, easy to manage. Cuttings must be selected for robust growth, no pests and diseases, each section of about 10-15 cm. After cutting, remove the blade at the bottom of the cutting strip and cut the base into a diagonal opening. It is also necessary to prepare a soft, breathable, well-drained substrate, which is directly inserted into the substrate after preparation, one-third of the depth of the soil cuttings, compact the surrounding soil after cutting, water through, and provide a warm and moist environment in the later stage, which will soon take root and live in such an environment.
Third, the strip method
Strip propagation is also commonly used and can also ensure survival rates. To choose a strong branch, peel off the bark from 15-25 cm below the top, the wound is about 1 cm wide, not too deep, remove the epidermis. Then prepare the plastic film, the moist soil on the bread, and bandage the ring peeling place to ensure that the soil is moist, providing a warm and ventilated environment, and the environment is suitable for more than a month to take root. When the root system is stable, cut the branches and plant them separately, so that new plants can be obtained.
