There are three main propagation methods of Begonia verticillata, which are layering, branching and cutting. Among them, the most commonly used method is ramet method. In March or so, take it out of the basin, and cut the sprouts from its roots. After that, they will be planted into the soft new soil, and slowly maintained. It will survive soon.

The propagation method of Begonia verticillata

Cuttage Propagation

Malus pendula

Generally speaking, the propagation method of cutting can be divided into spring cutting and summer cutting. Spring planting is usually carried out before and after hibernation.

Install the sandy soil in the flowerpot, insert the lateral branches (generally 12-16cm long) cut from the body into the soil, and the depth is one half of the soil layer.

Press the soil slightly, pour the water through, put it in a cool and ventilated place, keep the pot soil moist.

Split propagation

The split method is simpler

When the mother plant of Begonia verticillata germinates in March every year, separate the sprouting buds from the roots, protect the growing roots and put them directly in the new pot soil to grow.

Strip propagation

Malus pendula

When crabapple is pressed, it's best to choose it in summer.

Select a few small branches near the root of the mother plant, twist them and bury them in the soil. The depth is about 15 cm, and most of the top of the branches will be exposed to the ground. Wait until the next year Qingming season, you can put it into the basin alone

The main points of the maintenance of crabapple

Curing

Moisture

The growth period of Begonia needs enough water, so it should be watered more in spring and summer. In autumn, the amount of water should be controlled. When the surface layer of basin soil is dry, it should be poured through.

Fertilizer

In the growing period, the principle of "thin fertilizer should be applied frequently" should be followed, and the thin fertilizer should be applied every month. P fertilizer can be increased in bud stage, and the flower amount of Malus verticillata can be increased. When autumn leaves enter dormancy, fertilization should be stopped. Wait for the next spring to sprout and then fertilize and maintain.
