How to propagate Vinca

Vinca vine propagation method: seed propagation

Vinca can be propagated by sowing. Every spring, everything comes back to life, and April is the best time to sow Vinca. The seeds of Vinca vine are relatively small, and there are many in 1 gram.

When propagating Vinca by sowing, first fill the sowing tray with soil. The soil requires a mixture of sterilized leaf mold, culture soil and fine sand. The best temperature for Vinca germination is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Maintaining this temperature, the seeds will germinate 14 to 21 days after sowing.

After germination, the plants of Vinca are very fragile. At this time, you need to protect them and ensure that there is no water accumulation in the seed tray. If the sunlight is strong, shade the seedlings of Vinca to prevent sunburn.

When the vinca seedlings grow to 5 cm in height and have 3 pairs of true leaves, they can be potted.

Vinca propagation method: cutting propagation

Cutting is another practical method of propagation of Vinca, which can be carried out during the growing season.

In spring or early summer, cut young branches of Vinca, about 8 to 10 cm. Trim the cut part carefully, cut off the excess leaves at the bottom, and leave only 2 to 3 pairs of leaves at the top.

Insert the processed Vinca vine into the prepared sand bed or soil, keep the soil slightly moist, water it on time, and pay attention to shade it. It will take root 15 to 20 days after insertion.

Vinca vine propagation method: division propagation

Vinca division is usually done during the spring growing season. Separate the plants of Vinca into 3-4 layers and plant them separately. Water them thoroughly.

Vinca propagation method: tissue culture propagation

Vinca can also be propagated by tissue culture, but this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive and requires some professional equipment and materials. It is relatively difficult.
