How to propagate purse flowers and how to raise them

1. Breeding Methods

1. Seed propagation: The main method of propagation of purse flower is seed propagation. In order to increase the survival rate of sowing, the time can be selected from August to September each year. This period of time is just right for the cool climate and suitable for sowing and propagation. Prepare suitable soil before sowing, which can be made from leaf mold, river sand, or garden soil. Select the seeds carefully and sow them carefully in the soil. Be particularly meticulous during the sowing process. After sowing, cover them with a thin layer of fine sand that just covers the seeds slightly. After sowing, moisten the pot with water and place it in a cool place.

2. Cutting propagation: Cutting method is used a small amount for propagation. It is also necessary to prepare a sand bed first, cut healthy branches for cuttings, and then cover the soil and press lightly, but this method is not commonly used.
