Pedicel sprouting method: first remove the flowers on the pedicel and expose the bud point. Then dip in the right amount of germination agent and apply it on the exposed bud points. When the leaves grow 3 to 4, cut them off and plant them in the basin. Stem cutting method: first, let its stem nodes be long, and then cut the upper part with root with sterilized scissors, and then plant them in the basin.

1. Peduncle budding method

After its flower has failed, it is likely to grow a young seedling on its pedicel, which will grow into a new plant after being cut and planted. We can do the sprouting treatment on its pedicel.

First of all, we can get rid of the flower that has already opened on the pedicel, disinfect it, and then get rid of the bracts between the 1st and 3rd segments on the pedicel, so as to expose the bud point. After here, dip a toothpick into a proper amount of bud promoting agent and smear it on the exposed bud points. After the application, put it in a relatively shady place. Control the temperature between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. In about 15 to 20 days, it will grow small leaves on its buds. After about 3 months, it will grow 3 to 4 leaves with roots. At this time, it can be cut down and planted in a pot

2. Stem cutting method

In addition to the above methods, it can also be used to cut the stem to reproduce

The main steps of this method are: first, let the plant grow up continuously, then wait until its stems and nodes grow to a certain extent, and then cut off the above parts with roots with sterilized scissors or knives, and then plant them in the basin. For the lower part, we can give it proper management, after a period of time, it will grow new buds. If the plant itself is too long, it can be cut every 2 to 3 knots or every 2 to 3 cm, but it is necessary to ensure that it has roots, so that its survival rate will be high in the pot.
