How to breed pansy and what to pay attention to

Pansy breeding method

There are three ways to propagate pansies: sowing, cutting and division. All of them have a relatively high survival rate and grow relatively fast. The most commonly used method is cutting.

Pansy Seed Propagation

Pansy seeds can be propagated. Before sowing, suitable planting soil needs to be used and the seeds must be germinated.

The natural way for pansies to reproduce is by sowing, and the temperature needs to be kept between 18-22 degrees during maintenance.

Pansy breeding time

Pansies are generally planted between March and July each year. During this period, their survival rate is very high, the climate environment is suitable for planting, and they can also be propagated by cuttings or division.

How to breed pansy

Pansy division propagation

Propagation by division is generally carried out after the flowering period ends. Cut off its side branches together with the rhizomes, and then plant them in new pots. The operation is relatively simple, because it has rhizomes, it is easier to survive.

Pansy cutting propagation

If you want to propagate pansies, it is best to do so between May and June each year. First, you must select suitable branches. The branches must be strong, preferably with 2-3 leaves. After removing the branches, soak them in potassium permanganate solution for a period of time. After drying, insert them into peat soil. Keep the soil moist during this period.

Pansy seed propagation

Before sowing pansies, you must first choose a suitable culture medium. The pH value of the soil should be between 5.5-5.8. After disinfection, you can sow. After sowing, the temperature is best kept between 18-22 degrees. Be careful not to expose to light at this time.

Pansy breeding precautions

Pansies need relatively fertile soil to grow in order to ensure the bright and beautiful colors of the flowers, so it is best to choose high-quality fertile soil for planting, and the temperature should be kept between 18-28 degrees. The temperature at night should not be lower than 5 degrees to prevent the plants from frostbite.
