How to grow Gesneria

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: It is best to use soil with good air permeability for growing gesneriaceae. It can be prepared by mixing planting soil, perlite and vermiculite.

2. Watering: Watering should be determined according to the moisture of the potting soil. If the soil in the pot has good drainage, you can water it more often. Do not water too much, and there must be no water accumulation in the potting soil.

3. Light: Gesneriaceae needs sufficient light to grow. If the light is insufficient, it will easily cause the plant to grow too tall. However, it cannot be exposed to sunlight for a long time in summer, as too strong light will easily cause sunburn.

1. Seed propagation: Gesneriaceae can be sown in spring and autumn. Its seeds are very small and do not need to be covered with soil after sowing. When the seedlings grow 6-8 leaves, they can be transplanted and will bloom in about 6 months.

2. Cutting propagation: usually carried out in spring, there should be 4-6 nodes on the cuttings, and the lower leaves should be removed. Then insert it into the medium, cover it with a film, and place it in a cool place for maintenance. It will take about 15 days to take root.
