The reproduction method of sheep

Cuttings

This method is relatively simple and is what we prefer to use, because it not only makes the plants grow easily after planting, but is also more suitable for beginners. It can be carried out from May to June every year. During this period, the flowers have just fallen and have not yet borne fruit, so it will not affect its growth.

Simply cut off 5-8cm, leaving 2-3 leaves on top, and remove all the leaves below. After applying rooting powder, you can insert it into the prepared soil. After planting, the temperature should be maintained at 20-25℃, and attention should be paid to shading and moisturizing, so that the cuttings are more likely to survive.

sowing

Preparation before operation

This method is more suitable for those who want to propagate on a large scale, but in their natural state, they produce very few fruits, so if you want to obtain seeds, you can only resort to artificial pollination. About 7 days after pollination, you can strengthen the management of water and fertilizer. When you see mucus appearing on the stigma, apply pollen and that's it. After the seeds are collected, they should be dried in the shade in time and stored in a well-ventilated place. However, seeds should not be stored for a long time. The longer they are kept, the less likely they are to germinate.

Specific steps

First, choose a shallow clay pot. The soil to be used for sowing should be disinfected in advance, because this can prevent bacteria or insect eggs in the soil, and prevent the seeds from being infected by the soil in the initial period of time. If there is no disinfectant, steam can also be used for disinfection. First place the seeds on top, then press them gently, but don't damage the seeds. Inexperienced flower lovers may choose to spray water. It is best not to do this. Fill a basin with water, then put the sowing pot in it, and then cover it with a piece of glass.
