Many people choose it as an indoor potted decoration room. Its medicinal value is also particularly high, for the treatment of colds, detoxification and anti-inflammatory, conditioning stomach diseases have excellent results. Although the taro is very beautiful, it is a poisonous plant, so it can be used only after its original toxicity has been transformed. Next, let's take a look at the breeding methods of taro.

I. split propagation method

Cut off the main part of the taro and the small branches of the root and stem, and then plant them respectively. Let them become a separate taro. There are two kinds of propagation methods: full - ramet propagation and half - ramet propagation.

1. Full ramet propagation

Dig up the main plant and all the roots in the taro soil, either by hand or with tools (such as scissors). Cut it into n secondary taro plants. Each secondary taro plant can take 2-3 branches. Pay attention to the root under the secondary taro plant. Then you can plant them separately. After two or three years, the divided taro can be further divided.

2. Half split method

There is no need to dig up all the main taro plants. Dig the soil around the edge of the main taro plant. When you can see the root of the main taro plant, directly cut off the secondary taro plants (each secondary taro plant needs to take 2-3 rooting sticks), and then plant it in other places, so that you can, a new taro is born

Second, "bud head" propagation method

What is "bud head"? "Bud head" refers to the buds of sharp tail taro (without buds growing into stem and leaves). You can select some "bud heads" with relatively large volume. The "bud heads" have "bud eyes" on them. The shape of "bud eyes" is spiral, which is the place where there are small pits with buds on the surface of the plant. Directly plant "bud head" into the soil, you can grow into a new sharp - tailed taro.

Generally speaking, humus soil or rotten leaf soil can also be used for soil selection. These two kinds of soil can improve the survival rate of the secondary plant, provide more nutrients for the secondary plant, and accelerate the growth of the secondary plant. Seasonal selection should avoid winter, spring, summer, autumn can breed.
