This kind of plant is lush all the year round, which is very suitable for breeding at home. Its leaves are very good-looking, strong growth and good adaptability. Many people will raise a basin as decoration, so how can this plant reproduce? Let's take a look at it in detail this time.

I. branch propagation

This kind of plant is very suitable for family breeding, and can be propagated at home. It is propagated by the method of dividing plants. There are many advantages of ramet propagation, such as higher survival rate, easier operation, etc., but at the same time, we should pay attention to many places, including time, method and maintenance.

Time

Generally, when the temperature of this plant gradually increases, it will be carried out in spring. At this time, the temperature will rise, and the new buds have not yet germinated, and it is also the time to change pots, so it is easy to operate. In general, in January and February, the soil begins to recover, and the plants can be divided after the thawing.

III. operation

Take the mother out of the flowerpot and remove the extra soil. Separate the roots as much as possible, but do not damage the roots. Use a sharp knife to cut the plants from the middle. Each plant should have sufficient roots. Leave 3-5 suitable leaves for each plant, trim off other leaves, which is good for the survival of this plant.

IV. disinfection

After segmentation, because the plant body is relatively weak and very vulnerable to infection, it is necessary to disinfect it, use chlorothalonil solution to prepare 1500 fold solution, and soak the plant in the middle for five minutes. After taking out, the plants need to be dried before other treatment. You can also use chlorothalonil to prevent the virus from infecting the plants.

5. Serving

This kind of plant is not suitable for growing in too wet place, so we need to add a layer of water filtering layer in the basin, and then put the plant in. There are many substrates that can be selected for the upper basin, which can be selected according to their own conditions. Generally, as long as sufficient nutrition, good hydrophobicity and ventilation are ensured. After the basin needs to be watered once, if not disinfected before, it should be watered in time, and placed in the shade of the place for maintenance.

Vi. management

After splitting, it needs to be watered once, because the root is damaged, it needs 3-4 weeks to recover, so during this period, water less to prevent rotten roots.
