How to propagate potted chives (the propagation method of chive orchid is as follows)

How to propagate chives?

Chive flowers have strong adaptability, strong growth ability, strong disease resistance, and they are not demanding on soil. They like warmth and are cold-resistant, drought-resistant and shade-resistant.

Therefore, it is a herbaceous flower that is very easy to survive and reproduce. According to its different reproduction methods, it can be divided into seed reproduction and division reproduction.

1. Breeding time

Whether it is seed propagation or division propagation, the best time to plant chives is from March to May in spring.

During this period, not only is the soil moisture good, but the temperature and light are also very conducive to seed germination, root growth, and plant tillering. Therefore, during this period, no matter which method of reproduction is chosen, it will grow rapidly and develop very well.

2. Breeding Methods

The propagation methods of leek flowers are divided into seed propagation and division propagation.

①Seed propagation

Seed propagation is suitable for large-scale planting of chives. Before sowing, try to choose a sunny plot with fertile and loose soil for planting.

1. First dig furrows and prepare the ridges, then pat the soil into fine pieces, level it, and turn it over to dry.

2. During the drying period, soak the fine black seeds in warm water for 12 hours, then mix with fine ash and spread evenly or sow in small furrows.

3. After sowing, cover with a thin layer of fine soil and spray with water until it is moist. It is worth noting that during the subsequent growth period, the soil must be kept moist and prevented from being washed away by heavy rain to ensure smooth growth.

4. When the chives have 3 to 5 leaves, you can thin out or pull out the seedlings for planting. When planting, because chives have a strong ability to sprout, you should keep a relatively loose row spacing.

②Propagation by division

Once planted, the leek flower has a strong ability to reproduce. If planted this spring, it can reproduce into a large clump next year. At this time, people often divide it and transplant it.

Chives are bulbous flowers, and their division method is similar to that of onions. When dividing, divide the large clump into units of 3 to 5. If you find it troublesome to divide the plants later, you can also divide them into units of 2 to 3.

When planting, dig a shallow hole, cover with soil, press it tightly, and water it to plant. After that, pay attention to keeping the soil moist and prevent water accumulation.

3. Maintenance

The maintenance of chives is very simple. Because it has strong adaptability and disease resistance and cold resistance, it only needs occasional weeding, loosening the soil and proper fertilization. It is a typical extensive management flower and does not require too much "care".
