Common breeding methods of Silver Queen

Cutting propagation method of Silver Queen

After an adult plant has been cultivated for a period of time, the lower leaves will gradually wither, causing the stems to become bare and look ugly. At this time, you can choose to propagate and renew the plants. Cut the top branches for cuttings, leaving the base to sprout new buds.

Cuttings are usually taken in late spring and early summer. Cut the stem of the plant, cut it into small sections, each with 2 nodes, and insert it into disinfected soil. Be careful to point the buds upwards, or insert them vertically, and never insert them upside down, otherwise it will be difficult for them to survive.

After cuttings, provide appropriate shade and ensure moisture. You can cover it with plastic film. At noon on a sunny day, you can remove the film, spray it appropriately, and then cover it again. Spray fungicide once every 7 to 10 days ( 0.1% diluted solution of carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl or thiophanate-methyl can be used). It will usually take 20 to 25 days to take root, and can be planted in pots when the roots grow to 2 cm .

Silver Queen propagation method

The division method of Silver Queen is slightly different from other plants. Not every Silver Queen can be divided. Observe whether there are new buds at the base of the Silver Queen. If so, you can sow them and replant them.
