How to propagate potted trumpet creeper? Do you need to repot it every year?

1. The propagation method of potted trumpet creeper

1. Cutting propagation: Cutting is carried out in spring or autumn every year. Choose strong one-year-old branches as cuttings, about 10 to 15 cm in length, and cut off the leaves on them. Also prepare a breathable and soft substrate. Once prepared, just insert the cuttings directly into the soil, at a depth half that of the cuttings. Pay attention to moisturizing and temperature control in the later stage, and it will take more than 20 days to take root.

2. Seed propagation: Seeding is carried out in spring. Choose plump and strong seeds and soak them in clean water for two or three days to germinate. After germination treatment, just sprinkle it directly on the soil surface. Control the humidity in the later stage and it will sprout and grow leaves soon.

3. Layering propagation: Layering is usually carried out in July. Pull the long and thick branches to the ground, bury them with soil in sections, leaving the buds exposed, and pay attention to moisturizing. It will take about 50 days for them to take root. After taking root, dig them out and transplant them.

2. Do potted trumpet creepers need to be repotted every year?

The growth rate of trumpet creeper is relatively fast. If properly maintained, the branches can grow more than 2 meters long every year. Therefore, when planting in potted plants, you should use larger pots. If the pots are large enough, you don’t need to change the pots every year. If the flowerpot is small, after a year of growth, there will not be enough space and the pot will need to be changed frequently.
