There are two main ways of propagation of Clivia brevifolia: branch and seed. The ramets need to wait until the leaves of the progenies born from the base of the mother plant grow to 10-15 cm, cut them from the roots and plant them in the new soil. To sow seeds, we need to prepare seeds first, then bury them in the soil with their back facing up, water them timely and wait for germination.

I. branch propagation

1. Time: it can be divided into two years or so. It can be carried out in four seasons, but it is most suitable in February to may in spring and September to November in autumn.

2. Methods: some progenies will be produced at the base of the mother plant. When their leaves grow to 10-15 cm, they are cut from the mother plant and planted into the flower soil with good air permeability. Spread clean river sand around its roots and put it in a place with soft light. Cover the plant with a transparent bag and spray water on it at the right time to keep the soil 50% moist, and new roots will grow in 20-25 days.

3. Management of the mother plant: it is recommended to apply wood ash on the wound of the mother plant after splitting, and reduce the amount of water poured and increase the amount of fertilizer applied in the next month to help it recover.

Second, sowing and breeding

1. Time: sowing can be carried out all year round, mainly according to the time of seed collection. When the seeds are harvested, it is best to sow them immediately, because the seeds are not dried up, and the seedlings will come out very quickly.

2. Method: put the seeds on the surface of humus soil with the drumming face upward, and cover the top with a layer of sand soil, the thickness of which is twice the diameter of seeds. Then spray the loam wet and cover it with a transparent glass plate to keep it moist. After that, put it in a cool and ventilated place, water it properly, keep the flower soil slightly wet, wait for germination.
