How to propagate trumpet creeper and what to pay attention to

How to reproduce trumpet creeper

The main ways of propagating Trumpet Creeper are cuttings, layering, division and sowing. Its seeds can be propagated, and its natural way of reproduction is seed propagation. Generally speaking, cuttings are the fastest way to propagate.

Trumpet creeper breeding time

Trumpet creeper can be propagated by cuttings all year round, but it is best to choose late spring and early summer for propagation. This period is the peak growth period of trumpet creeper, and the survival rate of propagation at this time is high.

How to propagate trumpet creeper

Propagation of trumpet creeper by division

The propagation of trumpet creeper by division is usually carried out in early spring every year. That is, the trumpet creeper seedlings grown from root buds near the mother plant are dug out and planted in separate pots.

Trumpet creeper cutting propagation

The best time for Trumpet Creeper cutting propagation is generally spring in the south, while autumn is better in the north, as the survival rate of cuttings is higher.

First, you need to choose strong and disease-free branches of Trumpet Creeper, and cut off the selected branches. Cut the long branches into small sections of 10 to 15 cm and place them in a ventilated place to dry. After the wounds on the branches are dry, insert the branches directly into the soil. Generally, the cuttings will take root about 20 days after cutting.

Trumpet creeper sowing propagation

In spring, when sowing and propagating trumpet creeper, first soak the seeds in clean water for 2 to 3 days. This can increase the germination rate. Choose a sunny day, sow the seeds in the potting soil, and then control the humidity.

Precautions for propagation of trumpet creeper

It is best to use slightly acidic or neutral soil for the cultivation of trumpet creeper. You can use a mixture of leaf mold and garden soil for planting. Ensure sufficient sunlight and timely ventilation, and keep the soil slightly moist without water accumulation. Fertilize once every 10-15 days with nitrogen fertilizer as the main fertilizer, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers after May. Pay attention to insect prevention and fixed support.
