How to breed succulent white birds

Reproduction method

Seed propagation

It is not difficult to sow the seeds of White Bird. First, use your fingers to loosen the seeds, and then sprinkle them evenly on the soil. Generally, the most common soil mixing method of one ratio of peat soil and perlite is adopted. The peat soil should be softer so that it is easier for the young plants to take root. After sowing, do not cover the seeds with soil, or use gauze to sift out fine soil, then cover the seeds with a thin layer of fine soil, and then wait for it to grow slowly without special attention. After sowing and germination, they need careful care and grow slowly.

Propagation by division

The best time for division is in spring, April or May. The temperature is too high and the humidity is too high in summer, so the survival rate of reproduction is very low. If you must choose to breed in autumn, be sure to pay attention to the temperature, otherwise the survival rate will be very low in the cold winter. It is best to use a shallow pot for division, leaving 5 cm thick soil inside and 3 cm of pot edge. It is best to do it at the same time as repotting. As for the specific method, first choose a suitable location for the tender shoots on the mother plant. It should not be too close to the main body of the mother plant. After cutting, the tender plants should be dried. Then plant it in soil that has been disinfected in advance, add a small amount of water to keep it moist, and place it in a slightly cooler location.

Grafting

The most common way to graft White Bird is to graft it onto Osmanthus fragrans, but be sure to avoid watering from the top and constantly graft young bulbs to renew the mother plant. It is best to choose thick, strong and plump bulblets. If you find that the bulblets are shriveled, do not graft them first. Place the bulblets in clean water and wait until they absorb water and become full before grafting. This can greatly increase the survival rate.

Kind tips

The growth period of white bird is very short, and it is difficult to cultivate it directly. When cultivating it by itself, you must control the amount of watering, and ensure that it is watered appropriately while being slightly dry, and that there is plenty of sunlight. However, the high temperature and humidity in summer often cause surface rot, so summer cannot be chosen for breeding. At present, the reproduction of white birds mainly involves three methods: sowing, division and grafting, among which the ball grafting method is the most common.
