Coral vine propagation

According to verification, coral vine mainly has two propagation methods, seed propagation and cutting propagation. Now let me introduce them to you one by one:

Seed propagation

Spring and summer are the best times to sow coral vine seeds, because the weather during this period is relatively warm and the temperature is not too high, and the best temperature for coral vine germination is around 24°C. Before sowing, the seeds should be soaked in water for four to six hours so that they absorb enough moisture.

After that, simply bury the seeds shallowly one cm below the soil surface. Remember to water the seeds moderately and keep the soil moist at all times. The soil should be a well-drained, fertile, humus-rich acidic soil. In about one month, the coral vine seeds we sowed will be able to take root and sprout.

Cutting propagation

Cutting propagation of coral vine is best done in spring. First, we should cut off good-looking branches from the whole plant, each segment about two hand-spans long, remove the lower leaves from the branch, and keep just a few leaves at the top.

After that, we can insert the branches into a flower pot already covered with a mixed soil of peat soil and coarse sand, water thoroughly, cover the pot with a plastic bag, and place it in a semi-shaded environment. In about half a month, the inserted coral vine branches will be able to take root and sprout, and after new leaves grow, they can continue to be transplanted.

After propagating coral vine well, the next step is to keep it alive and grow it well yourself, but during the process of growing coral vine, some situations always come up, such as leaves turning yellow. Below, the editor will teach you the countermeasures for yellowing coral vine leaves.
