How do cacti reproduce?

Seed propagation

The best time to sow cactus is from May to June or from September to October, and the room temperature should be 20-30℃. The seeds should be placed in water and soaked for 2-3 days to allow them to fully absorb water. Soak the bottom of the pot with water. Then seal the whole plant with plastic film and place it at room temperature around 25℃. It will germinate in about a month.

Cutting propagation

Cuttings are suitable for the peak growth season of cactus in early spring and late autumn, with April to May being the best time.

You can take stem nodes 1 to 4 or large branches with branches for cuttings. When grafting, do not let the wound get wet and dry it in a place away from direct sunlight for two or three days to allow the wound to heal and prevent it from rotting. After planting, place it in a cool place before it takes root and water it sparingly. It will take about 20 days for it to take root.

Grafting

The best way to graft cactus is by inserting it, which will prevent it from drying out and falling off after grafting. The plug-in method is the "up" shaped connection method. Select strong and sterile bulb seedlings and well-growing leaf cactus plants as rootstocks.

After grafting, move to a place where the light is not strong. The temperature is controlled at 20-25℃, and the wound will generally heal in 15-20 days. Gradually move it to a place with good light for maintenance. The culture soil should be loose and breathable, and the water should be neutral.
