How to breed Buddhist beads and what to pay attention to

How to breed Buddhist beads

The main ways to propagate Buddha beads are sowing, cuttings, and division. Buddha beads seeds can be propagated, and the natural way of propagating offspring is sowing propagation, and generally cuttings are used for propagation. Its branches and vines are very easy to root and grow the fastest.

Bead breeding time

Buddhist beads prefer a warm growing environment and are best bred in spring and autumn, specifically from March to May in spring and from September to October in autumn, when the survival rate is high.

Propagation of Buddha beads by division

The propagation of Buddha beads by division is mostly carried out when repotting. When repotting, the mother plant is taken out, the branch stems on the mother plant are cut off, and then divided into multiple branch stem seedlings. They are placed in a cool place for about 2 to 3 days. After the wounds are dry, they are thoroughly disinfected and then buried in the soil for recultivation.

Buddha beads cutting propagation

First, choose healthier branches on the Buddhist beads, then cut off the protruding aerial roots, so that the survival rate of the cuttings will be higher. Place them in a cool place to dry the wounds, plant them in breathable and loose soil, with the aerial roots close to the soil, and then expose the leaves outside the soil. It will be able to take root and survive in about 15 days.

Seeding and propagation of Buddhist beads

When sowing Buddha beads, you should choose high-quality seeds, then disinfect the seeds, and then choose to sow them in early spring. After that, water them. Generally, they will take root and sprout in about 10 days. At this time, the climate is gradually getting warmer. Pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and pests of succulent Buddha beads. It won’t be long before you can harvest a lot of succulent Buddha beads.

Propagation of Buddha beads by leaf cuttings

First, remove the relatively complete leaves from the mature Buddhist beads, then disinfect the leaves, place the leaves in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wounds, and then place the leaves on new soil. Do not expose them to the sun at this time. Prepare more leaves for leaf cuttings to avoid the embarrassing phenomenon that none of them take root or sprout.

Precautions for breeding Buddhist beads

1. Potting soil: Buddhist beads like loose, fertile soil, which should be mixed with leaf mold and sand. In order to increase the air permeability of the soil, you can add some broken gravel at the bottom of the flowerpot, so that the air permeability and drainage can be guaranteed.

2. Watering: Buddhist beads are drought-resistant. After being watered thoroughly once, they generally do not need to be watered for a week, especially in winter. The plant enters a dormant state and grows very slowly. There is no need to water it as long as it is not dry. You can water it more often during the growing period.

3. Turning the soil: The roots of the succulent Buddha beads are relatively developed and need to be repotted in time, generally once every two years. After it grows up, it needs to be repotted once a year. Before repotting, the new soil should be exposed to the sun for disinfection. The roots can be slightly trimmed when repotting.

4. Fertilization: Succulent Buddha beads grow vigorously and need to be fertilized regularly. Fertilizers are generally based on phosphorus fertilizers, nitrogen fertilizers, and potassium fertilizers. Fertilization should be appropriate. Too much will be counterproductive.
