How to propagate pansy succulents and what to pay attention to

Pansy succulent propagation method

The main ways to propagate pansy succulents are sowing propagation, cutting propagation, grafting propagation, and division propagation. The natural reproduction method is seed propagation, and cutting propagation is the fastest.

Pansy succulent breeding time

The survival rate of pansy succulents is high in spring, mainly because the temperature at this time is neither high nor low, the light intensity is not high, and the air humidity is high, which is suitable for seed germination.

How to propagate pansy succulents

Pansy division propagation

The method of propagating pansy succulent by division is very simple. You can divide it when repotting in spring and transplant the newly grown rosette leaves. It has strong growth ability and can be propagated by small stems and small plants. Succulents grow very fast and can easily overflow the pot.

Pansy cutting propagation

Branch cutting method: Cut the branches of healthy pansy plants and place them in a ventilated place to dry. Do not rush to directly cut them at this time, as this will cause root rot. Wait until the wound heals before inserting them into the soil.

Root grafting method: Cut off part of the main root or lateral root of the pansy, which must be healthy, so that the survival rate is relatively high. Plant the cut part in a flowerpot. New branches and leaves will grow after the wound heals. The survival rate of plants grafted by root grafting is the highest.

Pansy seed propagation

Succulents can also bloom and bear fruit, but pansy succulents do not self-pollinate, which means that without any intervention, they will basically only bloom but not bear fruit. They must rely on bird and insect pollination from the outside world, and can also be artificially pollinated. After it bears fruit, you can sow it immediately or wait until the following spring.

Pansy leaf cutting propagation

Choose healthy, plump, and disease-free pansy succulent leaves, place them in a cool, ventilated place to dry for two or three days, and then cut them into the soil. Place the leaves flat on the soil and the petioles can be slightly buried in the soil. As long as the temperature is suitable, they will soon take root.

Precautions for breeding pansy succulents

Pansy succulents are suitable for planting in loose, breathable and well-drained soil, where water accumulation is not likely to occur. When the pansy has not fully grown, its appearance will be very ordinary, but once it grows into a good state, it will be very charming and attractive, but sufficient light must be provided so that the color can come out.
