How to propagate Gloriosa

Gloriosa radiata cuttings

Before the Gloriosa germinates in spring, be sure to remove the rhizomes before repotting. Each rhizome must have buds, and then transplant them into the prepared pots in advance, with two rhizome pieces planted in each pot, and the covering thickness is about 3cm.

Seed propagation of Gloriosa

The sowing time for Gloriosa is mostly in spring or autumn every year. Sow the prepared seeds in the culture soil, water it frequently, keep it warm, and ventilate it. After the seeds germinate, transplant the denser seedlings into another soil, and plant them separately in the spring of the following year. They will bloom in the 2nd or 3rd year.

Gloriosa propagation and maintenance

Maintenance in April

In late April, after transplanting the rhizomes of Gloriosa, keep the soil at a low temperature to prevent the rhizomes from rotting.

Maintenance from May to June

From mid-May to early June, the seeds begin to germinate and sprout. After emerging from the soil, they grow rapidly. It is necessary to add supports in time to help them climb upward to avoid breaking branches. When the branches grow to 20cm high, set up a support, tie them up and spray them frequently. In July, flowers bloom from bottom to top.

Maintenance from October to November

In October, the temperature has begun to drop and the flowers of the yew have stopped blooming. In order to make the fruit seeds fuller during the flowering period, artificial pollination can be used.
