How to propagate Crinum and what to pay attention to

How to propagate Crinum

There are two common ways of propagating Crinum juncea, namely division and sowing. It can be propagated by seeds. Generally speaking, division can cultivate plants as quickly as possible, and the flowering time is faster than sowing.

If Crinum is propagated by seeds, it is generally more appropriate to do so in March or April every spring, because the climate and environment at this time are more suitable for the growth of Crinum, and the survival rate is high. If it is propagated by division, it is usually better to combine it with repotting in spring, and the survival rate is relatively high.

Propagation of Crinum juncea by division

Pour the Crinum japonica out of the pot, peel off the surrounding sub-plants with two or three roots, apply wood ash or sulfur powder to dry the wounds, and then plant them separately.

Seed propagation of Crinum juncea

Before sowing and propagation, you must first prepare seeds with full grains and bright colors and suitable substrates, sow them in the soil by spot sowing, then water them thoroughly, and maintain the growth environment temperature between 16-22 degrees. Generally, they will germinate in half a month, and can be transplanted when 2-3 true leaves grow.

Things to note when breeding Crinum

Seeding propagation of Crinum juncea can indeed enhance the vitality of the root system, but it requires collecting seeds, and the flowering time of seedlings is relatively late, which cannot meet the cultivation needs of friends. In this case, it is recommended that friends use the method of division propagation instead, which can bring a stronger maintenance experience.
