How to propagate Bergenia

Seed propagation

Container selection: Because the seeds of this plant are relatively small, we must be careful when choosing a container. You can use a plain fired clay pot, which has good penetration and water absorption, and is also conducive to better ensuring the surrounding moisture level and increasing its germination rate.

Choice of substrate: The substrate selected during sowing is different from that during cultivation. At this time, it is best to mix peat and perlite, and control the ratio at four to one. Before use, we need to add some raw lime one to two months in advance, stir it evenly, and adjust the pH to between 6.8 and 7.5.

Specific steps: Mix the seeds and fine sand, place them on paper, and then shake your wrist to mix them evenly. Once you are done, sprinkle them onto the substrate. Note that because the seeds are very small, we can use the immersion pot method to supply water. In addition, plants are photosensitive, so there is no need to cover them with a layer of soil, but you can cover them with a layer of film to keep them moist. After about a week, sprouts will appear, and the film should be removed in time.

Note: Seedlings are very likely to die within a month, but the reason is unclear, so we must control the surrounding environment, ensure appropriate air humidity, and ensure ventilation.

Propagation by division

This method is not the most important one, because most plants are monopodial, so generally there will not be a large number of seedlings. However, sometimes there are a large number of seed plants, and this method can be used at this time. We usually choose to do it about a month after flowering, but not in July or August, because the temperature and humidity are too high at this time, and the cuts are prone to rot.
