How to reproduce winter corals

Seed propagation of winter corals

For winter coral, the more commonly used breeding method is sowing. The sowing of winter coral is generally carried out in spring, approximately between March and June each year. The seeds of winter coral mature in winter. After we collect the mature winter coral seeds, we need to rinse and dry them, and they can be planted during the Qingming Festival of the following year. Of course, we can also buy processed winter coral seeds and sow them directly. When sowing, evenly sow the seeds of winter coral on the prepared soil, then cover with a thin layer of soil, water thoroughly, and if necessary, cover with a layer of plastic film to keep moisture and promote the germination of winter coral seeds. It takes about a week for the seeds to germinate, and after they grow new leaves, they can be divided and transplanted.

Cutting propagation of winter coral

Winter coral can also be propagated by cuttings, which is mainly carried out in spring and autumn. However, cuttings during the summer growing season will have a higher survival rate. The advantage of autumn cuttings is that you can enjoy the fruits of winter coral in winter. When taking cuttings, we first need to trim a winter coral top branch of about 8 cm to 10 cm. If there are flower buds, they need to be removed. Then insert the trimmed branches into the soil, keep the soil moist, and regularly spray water mist on the buds and leaves at the top of the branches. If the temperature can be maintained between 18°C-28°C, the cuttings will take about ten days to survive.
