One longevity cyclamen can produce 3,000 seeds, and a large number of seedlings will sprout when spread in the soil!

Cyclamen

Cyclamen is easy to produce seeds. After the flowers fade, small round beans will grow. Don't worry about it, just continue to care for it normally, and water it less (just less than when it is in bloom).

After the seeds burst open and turn into small pomegranates, you can pick them and let them dry in the air. Then wrap it in 2-3 layers of toilet paper, put it in a drawer, and sow it in the spring or autumn of the following year.

Cyclamen is usually sown in spring and autumn. Take out the seeds and put them in moist soil. Don't bury them too deep. Don't expose them to light before germination. Spray water in time to keep them moist. Small buds will emerge within a week. When they grow 3 leaves, start normal maintenance and they will bloom in about a month.

Schlumbergera

Christmas cactus also easily produces seeds. If you want to increase the seed setting rate, you can use a cotton swab for artificial pollination when it blooms. Just rub the pollen on the small stamens onto the large stamen in the middle, and small fruits will be produced later.

After the fruit is produced, you must wait until the fruit turns rose-red and some become soft and rotten before you can pick it. Otherwise, the seeds inside are not mature and cannot be sown. The ripe fruit opens as shown below:

Place it on cotton gauze, rub off the pulp, leaving only the small sesame-like seeds. After drying, you can fold it on toilet paper or store it in a small plastic bag.

As long as the temperature at home is between 18 and 25 degrees, you can start sowing. You can use clean sandy soil, wet it first, and then scatter the seeds. There is no need to cover them with soil. You can cover them with a layer of plastic bags to keep them moist.

This is what it looks like after germination. There is no need to cover it after germination.

The Christmas cactus seedlings sown in the same year will not bloom. It will have to wait until the second or third year to bloom normally. However, for flower growers, sowing and growing by oneself is also a kind of pleasure, isn’t it?

Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe loves to bloom and produces a lot of seeds. Although you can usually take more cuttings, some people always find that the cuttings don’t survive, so you might as well collect some seeds for sowing. The germination rate will be very high!

After the Kalanchoe blooms, this shriveled "capsule" will appear, which contains seeds. When they are all dried up and withered, cut them off and prepare to collect the seeds.

The seeds of Kalanchoe are very small and light, and can be blown away by a breath, so please be careful when collecting them. If you are not going to sow seeds now, you can store them together with the flower buds in a plastic bag and take them out when you need them.

You can sow longevity seeds at a temperature of 12-25 degrees. First wet the soil, then sprinkle the seeds on it. Don't bury them, just place them on top. Try to avoid direct sunlight while waiting for germination, and just spray water in time.

The fuller the seeds are, the higher the germination rate will be later. After the small sprouts grow, they can be exposed to the sun appropriately and the soil in the pot should be kept slightly moist. When the small buds grow to ten centimeters high, you can pinch the tops to promote branching. If you sow in spring, they may bloom in autumn and winter.

Succulent

Most succulent flowers can produce seeds. Now many people sell the seeds they produce themselves, and the sowing rate is very high. However, artificial pollination is safer during flowering. Rub the small stamens onto the large stamens with a cotton swab, and the seed setting rate will increase.

After the flowers dry up naturally, the seeds are mature and can be picked and placed on a clean piece of paper. They are similar to the seeds of Kalanchoe, also very small and light.

Succulent seeds can be directly covered with white paper, wrap it in several layers to prevent it from getting damp. You can also collect it using a syringe or a small tube like the one below (available on Taobao). It is best to sow in spring and autumn.

The most suitable temperature for sowing is 18-25 degrees. It is best not to expose to light during sowing. Control watering after the small buds grow 2-3 leaves. Allow some scattered light to prevent excessive growth. It will grow into a large army of succulents in 1 month!

Clivia

Everyone is familiar with Clivia seeds, but may be too lazy to take care of them. It’s a pity. Clivia roots rot easily, so why not collect a few seeds as a preparation!

The newly grown Clivia seeds are green. They are not considered mature until they turn red. Seeds picked too early are difficult to germinate.

Peel off the picked seeds, the inside looks like peanuts, rub off the top layer of membrane with clean water, soak the remaining seeds in warm water (about 18 degrees) for 1-3 days, and after they sprout, they can be planted in the soil.

It is best to use sawdust soil or bark soil for sowing, and place the sprouting side downwards. It should not be exposed to light at first. After the seeds have taken root and sprouted, they can be exposed to some scattered light.

After the seedlings have grown two leaves, you can dig them out and transplant them into a large pot. If you like to crowd the small orchids into one pot, you don’t need to transplant them. Usually, add some nutrient solution every month to ensure that each Clivia can grow healthily.
