How to propagate Zephyranthes and what to pay attention to

Breeding method of Zephyranthes

The main ways to propagate Zephyranthes are sowing and division. Its seeds can be propagated, and it is mostly propagated by sowing. Generally, it can be sown in spring, summer and autumn. It can also be sown in winter if there is heating in the house, as long as the sowing temperature can be maintained at around 20℃.

Breeding time of rain orchid

Zephyranthes is usually sown in spring, which gives the best results. At this time, the climate is warmer, the air humidity is higher, the seeds germinate faster, and the survival rate of the planting is high.

Propagation of Zephyranthes by division

Zephyranthes needs to be removed from the pot for division, and 3-5 roots need to be divided into a group, and then watered with a certain amount of water to ensure its survival rate. When breeding in summer, some leaves need to be cut off. After the root system grows out, new leaves will grow quickly.

Seed propagation of Zephyranthes

During the growing season of Zephyranthes seeds, the seeds will fall off naturally after flowering and can be sown in the soil to germinate. You can also wait until the seeds are mature, harvest them in time, and do a good job of seedling treatment, which will make the seeds easier to survive.

The specific method is to sow Zephyranthes seeds on loose sandy soil, or you can sprinkle them in a seedling tray made of peat soil, cover them with a layer of 0.5 cm soil, keep the soil moist, and wait for about half a month before you see seedlings growing from the seeds. When the seedlings have five to six leaves, they can be transplanted.

Notes on Breeding Zephyranthes

Zephyranthes is relatively drought-resistant and does not require much water, but the soil still needs to be kept moist, not too dry, but not too wet either. No water accumulation is allowed to occur to avoid root rot. At the same time, it is best to water in the morning and evening.
