How to propagate green chrysanthemum and precautions

Green chrysanthemum reproduction method

The main ways of propagating green chrysanthemum are sowing, cuttings, layering, division and grafting. Green chrysanthemum seeds can be propagated, and cuttings are generally the fastest propagation method.

Chrysanthemum breeding time

In fact, green chrysanthemum cuttings can be carried out from spring to autumn. Generally, the higher the temperature, the faster the chrysanthemum will grow. If cuttings are taken at this time, the survival rate will be relatively higher.

Green chrysanthemum division propagation

Green chrysanthemum is suitable for division propagation around the Qingming Festival in spring. It can be combined with repotting at the same time. Take the plant out of the original pot, prune the plant appropriately, cut off old and rotten roots, and divide it into small plants for planting separately.

Green chrysanthemum cutting propagation

From a well-growing green chrysanthemum, cut off sturdy branches about 20 cm long, remove the lower leaves, cut the bottom into an inclined surface, dip them in some rooting agent and insert them into a loose, fertile, well-drained substrate. Place them in a cool, well-ventilated place, provide a warm growing environment, and they will take root in about two weeks.

Green chrysanthemum seed propagation

In autumn from October to December, collect the mature seeds of green chrysanthemum, and wait until the spring of the following year to sow them. Pick out the seeds, remove the shriveled seeds, and select the plump and full seeds for sowing. Choose suitable soil, which can be mixed with garden soil and river sand, and sow the seeds in the soil.

Green chrysanthemum leaf cutting propagation

Choose a strong green chrysanthemum with good growth, select a longer branch from it, and then press it down to the sides, cover it with a layer of soil. After a period of maintenance, it will take root and can be separated from the mother plant to grow into an independent plant.

Green chrysanthemum breeding precautions

Newly grafted green chrysanthemums cannot tolerate direct sunlight and need to be kept in a well-ventilated semi-shaded place to avoid direct sunlight. After the cuttings are fully alive and begin to sprout new buds, gradually allow them to receive some scattered light to promote rapid growth and development of the cuttings.
