How to propagate Cineraria and what to pay attention to

How to reproduce Cineraria

The main ways of propagating Cineraria are sowing, cuttings and division. Its seeds can be propagated. Generally speaking, the speed of propagation of Cineraria by cuttings is relatively fast.

Cineraria breeding time

The main method of reproduction of Cineraria is sowing. Generally speaking, you can choose to sow in the summer of each year, which is around June or July. The survival rate of reproduction during this period is high.

How to propagate Cineraria

Propagation of Cineraria by division

During January to June, cut the sprouts from the roots of the cineraria, dry the wounds and insert them directly into the prepared sterilized sand. Water them appropriately and they will take root in about 20 to 30 days.

Propagation of Cineraria by Cuttings

Pick off the side buds of Cineraria, remove the excess leaves, wait for the wounds to dry and then insert them into the prepared soil for planting. Give them enough water after cuttings and prevent them from being shaded. After cuttings, the next step is to wait patiently for them to take root.

Seed propagation of Cineraria

Before sowing and propagation, prepare a wooden box or shallow pot, mix garden soil, leaf mold, and rice husk ash to make culture soil, add a small amount of superphosphate and decomposed base fertilizer into it. When sowing, mix the seeds with a small amount of fine sand and evenly spread them on the soil surface, covering them with a layer of fine soil.

Things to note when growing Cineraria

When propagating Cineraria by sowing, you need to be careful not to water it too much. You can also use the immersion method to make the potting soil moist, while avoiding exposing the seeds. You can cover it with a layer of plastic film to keep it moist, but at the same time pay attention to ventilation to prevent seed rot.
