How do you propagate potted flowers? One pot can become two pots or even hundreds of pots

How do you propagate potted plants and flowers? With this method, you can turn one pot into two pots or even hundreds of pots

The two methods commonly used for flower propagation. When I grow plants, turning one pot into many pots relies on this secret.

There are the following two methods for propagating flowers.

One is the sowing method. Good seeds play a key role in flower propagation. Sowing propagation requires the following points to ensure good flower propagation.

Collecting seeds

To grow healthy and robust flowers, you need mature seeds, so collecting flower seeds is very important. If harvested too early, the nutrients stored in the seeds are not yet sufficient, and healthy flowers will not grow. When the seeds are mature, the petals become dry and withered, and the seeds at this time are firm and glossy. Seed storage:

After harvesting, the seeds should be promptly threshed, air-dried, and cleaned of debris, then clean, plump, full, and pest-free seeds should be selected. Dry them slowly, and do not dry them under strong direct sunlight. Put them in a container and seal it, then store it in a cool, dry place.

Sowing and management. For sowing, choose seeds that are mature, plump, very easy to germinate, of good variety, and free of pests and diseases. The sowing time should be determined according to the flowering period; generally there are no special seasonal restrictions.

The sowing method is mostly broadcast sowing, that is, evenly scattering the seeds over the soil. At the same time, the soil should be covered thinly, and afterward water should be sprinkled to keep the soil moist, but do not water too much, otherwise the seeds will rot, but do not water too little either, as this is not good for seed germination. In addition, there is also the dibbling method, that is, sowing according to a certain plant spacing and row spacing, with 2-3 seeds sown per hole. After germination and growth into seedlings, only one robust seedling is left in each pot, and the rest are removed. After sowing, frequently check the moisture level and looseness of the soil, and water and loosen the soil in time. After the seeds germinate, gradually reduce the frequency of watering according to the water requirements of the flower buds.

Division propagation method

Division propagation method refers to the method of separating the rhizomes, bulbs, etc. of flowers from the mother plant and planting them separately to form independent new plants.

Division propagation also has 2 methods:

Full division method

The full division method is to dig the flowers out of the soil together with the roots, then divide them into several small clumps and plant them separately in other flower pots.

Half division method

The half division method is not to dig out the entire flower, but only to dig out the soil on both sides or one side of the mother plant, use scissors to cut out several small clumps with roots at the bottom, and then transplant these small clumps elsewhere to become new plants.
