How to propagate Guanyin Lotus

1. Planting

The Alocasia odora is a succulent plant. Its reproduction can be divided into sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction uses seeds. It will only bloom once in its life. After flowering, it will bear fruit and then the plant will die, but the root system will grow many small side buds at the same time. If you use seeds for propagation, you can get a large number of seedlings in a short period of time, but the growth of the seedlings is relatively slow and there is a problem of variation. When sowing, sow the seeds directly into the soil, water them thoroughly, and place them in a warm place for curing.

2. Division

In addition to seed propagation, asexual propagation can also be used. The main methods are division and leaf cuttings. Division is to separate the small plants growing around the Alocasia odora plant from the mother plant, and then replant them in the flowerpot. After watering them thoroughly, they will soon survive, thus achieving the purpose of reproduction.

3. Leaf cuttings

Leaf cuttings are done by placing the leaves on relatively moist soil, then the leaves will grow roots, and then a small new plant will grow at the wound. When it grows to a certain size, we peel it off the leaves and replant it, and a new individual will be formed.
