How to reproduce coral

Reproduction method

The most common method of propagation for coral reefs, and the one with the highest survival rate, is cutting propagation.

The reproduction process is as follows:

Step 1: Select cuttings

To propagate the coral by cuttings, you must first select a disease-free branch from a thriving coral plant, and then cut the bifurcation with scissors. Use chopsticks or clamps to hold the cut plant part to avoid damaging the branches and pricking your hands.

Then prepare a flowerpot and spread soil mixed with sand in the flowerpot, which is soil with high humidity for cuttings.

Step 2: Prepare the cutting medium

You can insert the cut branch cuttings directly into the soil. You can use chopsticks or clamps to insert them into the sand and then straighten them. Then water it. Water it thoroughly at one time, but remember not to apply fertilizer to avoid burning the bottom and preventing rooting and sprouting.

Step 3: Cutting maintenance

Place the small plants of the coral reef in a place without direct sunlight. During this period, pay attention to shading for about 5 days. After the root growth of the coral reef is stable, you can place the coral reef in a place with direct sunlight to supplement the light needs.

Precautions

First of all, when selecting cuttings, you must choose branches from healthy, harmless and strong plants, otherwise it will be difficult for them to survive.

Secondly, be sure to use clamps to hold the branches when cutting, so as not to damage the branches and affect the grafting, and also avoid hurting your hands.

Finally, pay attention to watering. Follow the principle of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry, and do not water until the soil is dry to avoid root rot.
