How to propagate firecracker flower

Cutting propagation of firecracker flower

Since it is not easy to obtain seeds from the firecracker plant, the plant is mostly propagated by cuttings. Firework vine is propagated by cuttings, usually in spring.

First, you need to choose suitable cuttings and cut the mature stems of the firecracker flower. Choose strong, disease-free and insect-free branches, cut about 10cm to 15cm, with 3 or 4 nodes and retain more than 2 buds.

The next step is to carry out cuttings. Insert the cuttings of the firecracker flower into the sand bed, generally two-thirds of the way in. Gently press the base of the cuttings to make the cuttings and the soil closer together. Water it enough.

Finally, it requires reasonable maintenance. After cuttings, you need to pay attention to keeping the soil moist. You can spray water on the leaves and place it in a semi-shaded place for maintenance. Generally, after cuttings, if the stems and leaves of the firecracker flower do not shrink, it means that it is growing well and can take root in about 40 days. The survival rate of cuttings propagation is still relatively high.

When the seedlings of firecracker flower grow to more than 15cm, they can be transplanted into pots. After potting, water them sufficiently and place them in a semi-shaded place for maintenance.

Layering propagation of firecracker flower

Firework lily can also be propagated by layering, which is mainly carried out in spring and summer.

Bury the longer branches of the firecracker plant in the soil, and remove a circle of bark to facilitate rooting. Generally, new roots will grow in about a month. Cut off the branches with roots and replant them.

The branches of the firecracker plant can also be pressed directly into the flowerpot.

The layered firecracker flower can usually bloom in the same year.
