How to propagate Dieffenbachia seguine? Detailed methods

I. Division propagation

When using this method for propagation, you must first fix the time, which is generally in February to March; this is when we usually repot it, so we can combine repotting with propagation.

First, divide the clustered plant into several root-bearing sections, then they can be planted separately. Of course, division can also be done in other seasons, and after 3 years the divided plants can continue to be divided again. After the plant is planted, water it a little, but not too much. This completes division propagation.

II. Seed propagation

1. Sowing method

Besides the propagation method above, we can also use sowing, though few people may know it can be propagated this way. In fact, this method also has a fairly high survival rate.

The specific time is generally in March to April. We sow the selected seeds in a flowerpot filled with culture soil, then water them and place them in a relatively shady spot, keeping the soil moist. But it must not be too wet, otherwise it will have the opposite effect. After that, keep the temperature within the range of 25 to 30 degrees, and after basically 25 days the seeds will sprout.

2. Care after sowing

Do not think that after the seeds sprout there is no need to manage them; on the contrary, at this time you must care for them even more carefully. When the small sprouts grow into seedlings and reach the growing period, we must ensure sufficient water.

For example, in midsummer, spray a little water on its leaves every morning and evening to maintain humidity and lower the temperature appropriately. When winter comes, its growth will begin to slow down and it will not need much water, so at this time we must control watering and must not let the potting soil become too moist.

In addition, care differs by region. If you are in the southern region, in summer it is best to place it in a shady spot. Then from May to October, which is the vigorous growth period for its stems and leaves, it needs more nutrients, so fertilize it once every half month.
