Can cyclamen be propagated by water cuttings?

1. Can it be plugged in with water?

Depending on the growth conditions, cyclamen can be propagated by water cuttings and can also be cultivated in water, which can reduce the possibility of insect pests and the frequency of watering does not need to be so frequent. The flowering period is relatively long, generally about 15-20 days longer than soil cultivation. The flowers are more beautiful and the colors are brighter, which increases the ornamental value. Therefore, it can be cultivated by water insertion in daily life.

1. Select plants: For hydroponics, plant selection is an important aspect. Choose healthy plants that are 1 to 3 years old, free of diseases and pests, and that appear to be growing vigorously. Find the location of its rhizome and cut it along the place where there are brown flower buds. Note that the scissors must be sterilized and the cut should be as tilted as possible to increase the area for water absorption.

2. Choose a container: The container should match the overall plant and be coordinated overall to ensure the aesthetics. It should be cleaned with clean water and disinfected before use.

3. Water insertion: Place the cut part in a container and add a little nutrition to the water. This will promote rooting as soon as possible. After long and thin roots grow, you can transfer it to the soil for cultivation.
