How to propagate red flower

Cutting period of red flower

Spring, summer and autumn are all good times for cuttings of red flowered sempervivum, but if the temperature gradually drops in autumn, poor regulation of greenhouse temperature may delay rooting, so the shading should not be too dense, generally 55% to 60% is appropriate.

Selection of cuttings of red flower

Generally speaking, it is better to choose cuttings with thick branches, dark leaves and moderate length. The length should be preferably 6-7 cm, and 2-3 leaves should be retained on the top. After selecting the cuttings, they should be cut into horse ear shape and soaked in a diluted solution of rooting agent at a low concentration for less than 30 minutes. Be careful not to let the leafy parts be contaminated by the rooting agent during soaking, otherwise it will affect the growth of the apical buds.

Preparation of cutting bed for red flower succulent

Choose a well-drained, well-lit, deep and fertile soil. It is best to apply a layer of furadan on the soil surface to prevent pests. Spread the prepared substrate on the surface and pat it gently in preparation for cuttings. At this time, you can choose an appropriate mixture of fine loess and dry sand as the substrate.

Cutting operation of safflower

When cutting, pay attention to pressing the culture soil on both sides with your fingers to make it compact. Water immediately after cutting to prevent water loss and wilting. Finally, compact the soil and cover it with a film, and then shade it. When cutting in summer, pay attention to shading first and then cutting.

The above are the relevant methods for the cuttings of red-flowered sempervivum. As long as you grasp the correct cutting method, the survival of the plant will be guaranteed.
