How to propagate pink canna

sowing

Sowing time

The general time for sowing is April and May. The temperature during this period will gradually rise, but it will not be too hot, so the seeds will not dry out and burn at the beginning. Of course, the seeds will not be frozen. When the temperature is very high in midsummer, the plants have grown very strong and can withstand a certain degree of temperature changes, so planting in April and May is a better choice.

Steps of sowing

There are two important steps before sowing. First, soak the seeds for a while so that they can germinate as soon as possible. Second, mix in a little basic fertilizer when preparing the soil so that they don't lack nutrients in the beginning. Generally, it will germinate 2-3 weeks after sowing. When 2-3 leaves grow, it can be transplanted. If planted well, it will bloom in the first year.

Tuber propagation

Time of choice

Generally, you can choose April to May, as the temperature during this period is not that hot, which is more suitable for the initial growth stage of the plant. Of course, the temperature at this time should not be enough to freeze the plants, so it is more suitable.

Specific steps

First, dig out the old rhizomes and then cut them into pieces. Each good piece should have 2-3 buds and some fibrous roots. In this way, you can plant it about 10cm into the soil. If you want to plant more than one tree, you must keep the distance at 40-50cm, and then water it sufficiently. This will allow the tuber and the substrate to combine better. If this method is properly maintained, it will basically be able to bloom in the first year.
