How to propagate EustomaThere are two ways to propagate Eustoma, namely sowing and cutting. Its seeds can also be propagated, and its natural reproduction method is also seed propagation. Generally speaking, Eustoma is propagated fastest by cutting. Eustoma breeding timeIt is best to propagate lisianthus in spring. The climate during this period is more suitable for the plant, the survival rate is high, and it can grow well after propagation. How to propagate EustomaPropagation of Eustoma by cuttingsThe time for lisianthus cuttings is mostly in spring. Generally, the second pair of leaves under the heart leaves are selected as cuttings. The bottom of the cuttings is cut obliquely and the leaves are cut in half to reduce nutrient consumption. The cuttings are inserted into plain sand, the soil is compacted and watered thoroughly. Generally, roots will take shape after 3-5 weeks. Eustoma sowing propagation1. Sowing time: The sowing time of lisianthus is generally from January to February and from September to October. The temperature at this time is not very high, so it is usually necessary to sow it in indoor pots to ensure that the seeds take root and germinate, and at the same time prevent the seedlings from being frostbitten. 2. Seed selection and germination: Soak the seeds in warm water for 8 hours at a temperature of about 30°C. Take them out and wrap them in a wet cloth, place them in an environment of 25-30°C, spray them with a little water every day, and they will germinate after a week. 3. Preparation of potting soil: The prepared soil must be loose and fertile, with good drainage and air permeability. Usually peat soil is combined with perlite or vermiculite. A small amount of organic fertilizer can also be added to provide nutrients. 4. Sowing: Since the seeds of lisianthus are relatively small, you don’t need to cover them with a layer of soil after spreading them on the soil surface. It usually takes 12-15 days for them to germinate, and thinning is required when they grow a little bigger. Things to note when breeding lisianthus1. Lisianthus has relatively high requirements for water. If it is given too much water after breeding, it will damage the roots. Too little water will cause the stems and leaves to grow weak. It is best to water it appropriately, which is beneficial to the growth of Lisianthus. 2. If you want to propagate lisianthus in potted plants, you need to note that the substrate used needs to be treated with high-temperature steam and disinfected before propagation to avoid bacterial growth after propagation. |
