How to propagate lipstick flower

1. Cutting propagation

The cutting method is a very convenient way of breeding. It is very easy to operate for home breeding and it is easier to survive. This method can generally be carried out at any time, but it is best to choose to operate it in spring so that the survival rate is high. You can cut branches and leaves for cuttings, insert the branches and leaves into plastic bags filled with sand and carry out breeding operations in a suitable environment. Generally, try to maintain the indoor temperature and avoid wind, rain and sun. Root buds will grow in about a month, and then they can be planted in pots.

2. Breeding

1. Watering

When growing lipstick flowers, you must pay attention to watering and keep the soil slightly moist at all times, but never overwater, otherwise it will easily cause the lipstick flowers in the pot to wither in the long run. The growers should try to use a spray bottle to spray more water on the leaves of the flowers so that the roots will not be damaged due to excessive watering, and the flowers will not lack water.

2. Prune branches and leaves

The greatest comfort to flower growers is to see flowers blooming luxuriantly during the flowering period, but some people ignore their potted plants after the flowering period. In fact, this cultivation method is incorrect. You should pay attention to pruning the excessively long branches and leaves after the flowering period. This will allow new branches and leaves to grow quickly and ensure that the lipstick flowers will bloom more beautifully in the next flowering period.

3. Notes

Ordinary flowers are easily attacked by pests, but lipstick flowers are not prone to such a phenomenon. However, anthracnose is one of the diseases that lipstick flowers often suffer from, so it is natural to prevent it. First of all, the breeder needs to understand the incidence of anthracnose, and carefully observe whether the lipstick flowers at home are in a healthy state. Only by ensuring standardized breeding steps can the lipstick flowers in your home not develop anthracnose, and keep the indoor environment ventilated and dry. Lipstick flowers are suitable for reproduction in hot conditions.
