Propagation methods and precautions of cigar flowers

1. Breeding method

The propagation methods of cigar flowers are the same as most flowers, which can be sown and cuttage.

If you choose to sow seeds, you have to pay attention to the temperature. Generally speaking, the required temperature is between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius. After planting the seeds in the soil, remember to cover it with a thin layer of rare earth and be sure to keep it moist. In addition, shade is also a must. It doesn't take long to germinate, just three or four weeks.

As for cuttings, it doesn't take much time. This is a very quick method and is suitable for spring and autumn. The specific method is to use mid-mature branches or top buds and insert them into the culture soil. The culture soil is generally a mixture of perlite, river sand and peat soil. There are also length requirements for branches, and the general length is between five centimeters and seven centimeters. It doesn't take long for the roots to grow, just two to three weeks. As for transplanting, you have to wait until the roots have grown more.

2. Notes

The first thing we need to pay attention to is the soil in which it lives. It is best to use sandy soil. In addition, the drainage must be good. If water accumulates, it will easily cause its root system to be damaged. You also need to give it sunlight. It is feasible to let it bask in the sun all day or half a day.

After planting its seedlings, be sure to remember to prune it, cut off its top, and eliminate the apical dominance, so that other branches will be easier to grow. In addition, it is necessary to prune and apply fertilizer in spring so that it can have more flowers and fruits. What you need to pay attention to in winter is to make sure it is in a warm place, because it likes a high temperature environment. If the temperature is too low in winter, it will easily die.
