How to propagate the fiddle-leaf coral? A detailed guide to propagation methods for green plants and flowers

Ji's Coral is a shrub-like plant, but it is indeed a cactus plant, so what are the propagation methods and precautions for Ji's Coral? How to propagate? What are the benefits? It is understood that Ji's Coral likes sunlight and should avoid exposure to strong sun. For home care, it can be placed in front of windows, balconies and other bright spots with scattered light. If the light is insufficient, a prolonged growth phenomenon will occur, the new stems will appear pale green and become very slender, and the plant will enter another state.

1. What are the propagation methods and precautions for Ji's Coral?

Soil requirements

When planting, the potting soil should be well-drained, well-aerated, calcareous and sandy soil. It can be prepared with 3 parts river sand, 2 parts shells, 2 parts coal cinder and 3 parts humus soil (Tang soil).

Planting method

Prepare a relatively large pot (a coarse clay pot is suitable), mix it thoroughly with the soil, and keep it slightly moist. Choose some sturdier stem segments (one section) and put them into the pot, spray water to moisten the surface of the potting soil, and then place it directly in the sun. Do not water frequently, and the soil will stay dry. After a while, some stems will begin to grow golden-yellow thorns, and the stems will begin to flatten and widen, showing a palm-like tendency.

Watering is not always advisable; this is a method of forcing palm-shaped stems. If the newborn growth is kept high-quality and moist from the beginning, the new stems will not have a palm-like tendency, but will instead grow to the length of the original plant. When the stem segments grow to a width of about 2 cm, they can be placed on the pot.

Fertilization method

Ji's Coral does not need fertilization, as it easily causes root rot. Apply little or no fertilizer; in spring, summer and early autumn, two types of decomposed liquid fertilizer can be applied. The potting soil should not be moist; if it is too wet for too long, it will cause the lower part of the plant to rot, and this will quickly spread to the whole plant.

Lighting requirements

If the coral is placed in a dim room for a long time, it will grow leggy, the new stems will become pale green and very slender, and the whole plant will look more spindly. However, if you move it outside, the newborn stems will thicken again, which will seriously affect the shape of the whole plant. So do not change the lighting conditions of Ji's Coral at will; keep the light relatively stable.

Note:

Replace the pot once a year

After transplanting, it is best to change the potting soil before spring growth, and management remains the same. During the flourishing period, fully palm-shaped stems will grow, but at this time the stems are not very large and the plant is not tall. If you want to obtain a larger stem, you must remove some extra stem buds and make it "stand alone." In the third year, replace it with a larger pot in spring. With proper management, it will become a larger stem during the growth period.

Avoid rot

Fully formed palm-shaped plants require extra care when watering and fertilizing. Once rot occurs, it will be a major loss after years of effort. The main points to note are as follows: 1. Avoid using concentrated fertilizer. 2. Prefer dry over wet. Keep enough sun.

2. How to propagate?

The most common propagation method for Ji's Coral is cutting propagation, which has a high survival rate.

The breeding process is as follows:

Step 1: Choose the cutting

Cutting propagation of Ji's Coral begins by selecting disease-free and harmless branches on a sturdy Ji's Coral plant, then cutting them with scissors. Hold the cut plant part with chopsticks or clips to prevent damaging the branches and to prevent them from being crushed.

Then prepare a flowerpot. In the pot, you should mix the soil with sand; the sand is soil with good moisture, and it provides for the cuttings.

Step 2: Prepare the cutting medium

You can directly insert the cut branches into the soil, then use chopsticks or clips to insert them into the sand, and then straighten them. Then water, giving it one watering, but remember not to fertilize, so as not to burn the bottom and prevent rooting.

Step 3: Cutting and maintenance

Place the small Ji's Coral plant in a place without direct sunlight. During this period, pay attention to shading for about 5 days. When the roots of Ji's Coral have grown steadily, the Ji's Coral can be placed in a place with direct sunlight to supplement its lighting needs.

Precautions

First, pay attention when selecting cuttings; you must use branches from healthy and harmless plants, otherwise they will not survive easily.

Second, pay attention to using clips when cutting, so as not to damage the branches, affect the cuttings, and avoid hurting your hands.

Finally, pay attention to watering, and you must follow the principle of watering thoroughly when dry, so do not water when not dry, to avoid root rot.
