How to propagate the four-leafed lily

There are three common ways to propagate the four-o'clock plant. Propagation by tillering, cuttings and seeds.

Tillering

Propagation by tillering can be carried out in spring and winter. In late spring, after the plants sprout, tiller the smaller plants under the plants and transplant them. Tillering is carried out in winter after leaf fall.

Cuttings

The time for cuttings is March or April every year. Select branches, trim them to a certain length, and cut them into sandy soil. Pay attention to shade and watering to maintain air humidity. It will take about 40-50 days for them to take root and be planted.

Seed propagation

The seeds of the four-o'clock shrub are hard seeds, so they germinate very slowly. It will take about two years for them to germinate after sowing. Therefore, in order to make the seeds germinate quickly, we can carry out germination treatment. During processing, soak the seeds, remove the outer skin of the seeds, and then store them in sand. Soak them in warm water about 20 days before sowing. In this way, they will germinate about three months after sowing. After germination, pay attention to the maintenance details of all aspects, including water, fertilizer, loosening the soil, weeding, etc.
