How to propagate dog flower

Seed propagation

Seed selection: When we talk about this method of sowing, seed selection is always the first step. In fact, this step is indeed very important. For the seeds of this plant, we should choose those with full grains and no diseases or pests.

Substrate selection: This step requires consideration of many factors, such as whether the drainage is good, whether the air permeability is good, whether it is nutritious, etc. We need to consider a variety of factors and select the appropriate matrix.

Formal sowing: The requirement for sowing seeds is of course to be uniform, otherwise it is easy for the seeds to gather together and compete for nutrients. After spreading, cover with a thin layer of soil. Then, keep the temperature and humidity within a suitable range, and avoid exposing it to strong sunlight. Wait quietly for the seeds to germinate. Once they germinate, the sowing is successful.

Propagation by division

Timing: For this method, it is best to breed in spring and autumn.

Material selection: In order to increase the success rate, we can choose stronger plants that are not attacked by diseases and pests as mother plants.

Specific method: Use a small knife (preferably sterilized) to divide the mother plant into several parts as evenly as possible (not too many, two or three will be enough), making sure that each part has sufficient roots. Once divided, insert them into the substrate individually so that they can form multiple independent plants. The next step is to ensure that all conditions are suitable, so that each independent plant will grow separately.
