Turn 1 pot of amaryllis into a whole cluster: 1 knife, 2 iron rods, 12 pictures with detailed steps

Amaryllis has extremely high ornamental value; whether in flower shape or flower color, it ranks among the best among home-grown flowers. The red plant form symbolizes prosperity, passion and festivity, and carries the meaning of great fortune and a harmonious family where everything thrives. Generally during the Spring Festival, everyone chooses to buy a pot of amaryllis to seek good luck and express their good wishes for the new year. The usual propagation methods for amaryllis include sowing, bulb division and cuttings. But when you want to quickly obtain more daughter bulbs and the amaryllis has very few side shoots, you might as well try this brutal bulb-cutting method below. Next, Xiao Jingzhi will learn it together with everyone.

1. Prepare a healthy amaryllis.

2. First sterilize the knife, then cut off the leaves and trim the wound neatly.

3. Dig out part of the potting soil from the pot where the mother bulb of the amaryllis is located, digging down to where the mother bulb and the fibrous roots meet, so that the mother bulb can loosen but cannot detach from the potting soil in the pot.

4. Clean off the dead skin around the amaryllis mother bulb, then use a sterilized knife to cut the mother bulb into 4 sections. Notewhen cutting, make sure the base of each section stays connected and do not separate them completely, while the cut cracks need to be opened as wide as possible。

5. To prevent the cut areas from sticking together, you can use stainless steel rods or plastic sticks to separate them. Try not to use materials like wooden sticks that rot easily.

6. Place it in a ventilated environment with scattered light for care, and pay attention to checking the degree to which the wound dries and shrinks, so as to prevent it from rotting.

7. After some time, new shoots will gradually emerge.

8. Under ideal conditions, you can harvest a dozen or twenty new daughter bulbs each time. When the daughter bulbs have grown 2-3 new leaves, they can be transplanted into pots.

9. Precautions: the knife must be sterilized; when cutting the mother bulb, be careful not to cut off the base of each section; the placement environment must be ventilated to prevent rotting; frequently check for any signs of rotting.

Compared with the professional twin-scale cutting propagation method circulating online, which cuts the amaryllis mother bulb into a dozen or twenty pieces like peeling an onion, this method is much less difficult and is very suitable for propagating amaryllis in home care.
