How to propagate dandelions and what to pay attention to

How dandelions reproduce

Common dandelion propagation methods mainly include seed propagation, cutting propagation and division propagation. The most commonly used method is cutting propagation, because it is simple and quick, and the rooting speed after planting is also relatively fast, but it requires suitable temperature.

Dandelion seed propagation

Dandelion seeds can be used for reproduction, but they are not often used because they grow too slowly and are difficult to remove. The natural way for dandelions to reproduce is by seed. Although they can be planted, they are not often used because the seeds are difficult to obtain.

Dandelion breeding time

Generally speaking, the survival rate of dandelions is the highest when planted in spring and autumn, because the climate at this time is more suitable for its growth. As long as the temperature is right, its growth rate is relatively fast.

How to propagate dandelions

Propagation of dandelion by division

When propagating dandelions by division, you need to remove the dandelion plant from the pot, clean up the soil, and then use a sterilized sharp blade to cut it in two along the root system of the plant. Then plant them separately in the soil. They will resume growth in about 15 days.

Dandelion cutting propagation

For dandelions, the most commonly used method is cutting propagation. During the process, pay attention to smooth ventilation and maintain regular watering, so that it grows faster.

Dandelion seed propagation

Dandelions are mostly propagated by seeds, which need to be harvested after they mature. They can be sown at any time in spring and autumn, and can also be sown in a greenhouse in winter, and seedlings will emerge in about 6 days.

Dandelion breeding precautions

When propagating dandelions, you need to pay attention to the fact that they need sufficient light throughout the growth process. They can withstand the hot sun and the heat of summer. They need to be watered more during maintenance so that they will be slightly moist in the pot soil and grow well.
