Chlorophytum comosum breeding time

The most suitable time for propagation of Chlorophytum comosum is usually from spring to autumn. The plants grow more vigorously during this period and the survival rate of reproduction is relatively high.

Chlorophytum comosum cutting propagation

Prepare a 10-centimeter-long branch of Chlorophytum comosum, disinfect it and insert it directly into the soil. In addition, it should be noted that during the cutting process, it is better to place it in a cool place and wait for it to take root.

Sowing and propagation of Chlorophytum comosum

Usually, sowing is chosen in spring. After sowing, it is covered with transparent plastic film to ensure the temperature. When seedlings grow out, holes can be punched in the film and the seedlings can be taken out. When the seedlings grow to about 5 cm, the film can be removed. After a while, the seedlings can be transplanted into pots.

Precautions for propagating Chlorophytum comosum

1. The potting soil used for propagation of Chlorophytum comosum by cuttings must be loose and breathable. If the air permeability of the potting soil is poor, the survival rate will be easily reduced. In addition, the cut branches should not be used for cuttings immediately. Place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wounds before cutting.

2. Generally, it is not recommended to expose the newly grafted Chlorophytum to sunlight immediately. It is best to place it in a cool place for a few days first, and then gradually move it to a sunny place.

3. If you find that the branches look listless after being cut, this is normal and you don't need to worry too much. At the same time, don't water them. Frequent watering will cause branch rot.
