How to breed lion's tail

Propagation by cuttings

root

Lion's tail can be propagated indefinitely by cuttings. When spring comes, we can take the stem segment at its tender buds, because the survival rate of the neck at the tender buds will be higher. Then we insert it in a relatively loose medium and water it to keep it moist, so that it can take root faster and have a higher chance of survival.

Basin

After it takes root, find a small pot. Because the lion's tail is afraid of moisture, we must choose a culture soil with good drainage when choosing the soil, and then put some small stones or tiles at the bottom of the pot.

Propagation by sowing

Preparation of potting soil

We can choose the appropriate facility conditions based on the size of the lion's tail seeds, and then we find a pot that is not too deep. The soil in the pot should be well permeable, and then some fine sand should be put in it. Then sprinkle the more mature seeds evenly on the layer, and then cover it with a layer of fine sand (not too thick). Slowly put the pot into clean water, do not let the water submerge the upper edge of the pot, let the water slowly enter from the bottom, and when the surface of the sand is wet, take it out gently and put it in a cool place.

Control of conditions

During the germination period, the temperature generally needs to be maintained at 25 degrees. As long as you find that the surface of the pot is dry, put it in water or spray it with a small spray. Wait for about a week and the seedlings will grow. Then place it in a sunny place and be sure to keep the soil moist.
