How to propagate Schefflera and what to pay attention to

Schefflera propagation method

There are two ways to propagate Schefflera, namely cutting propagation and sowing propagation. Both methods have a relatively high survival rate and a relatively fast growth rate, and are relatively easy to plant.

Can Schefflera seeds be propagated?

Schefflera seeds can be propagated. They need to be planted in humus or sandy soil and maintained in pots.

Schefflera can be propagated by sowing, so its growth rate will be faster, and its germination rate is fast.

Schefflera breeding time

Schefflera can be planted in spring or autumn, so that the survival rate will be faster, because the climate temperature in these two seasons can be stable at around 20 degrees. It should be noted that it must not be carried out in winter, because the temperature is low and the germination ability of the plant is weak, making it difficult to take root and survive.

Propagation of Schefflera arborvitae by cuttings

When propagating Schefflera by cuttings, choose suitable cuttings, not too old or too tender, preferably one-year-old. After cutting, remove the leaves at the lower end, leaving only three or four leaves on the top, to reduce nutrient and water consumption, and the bottom should also be cut into an inclined surface to increase the water absorption area, which is beneficial to rooting.

Schefflera sowing propagation

When sowing and propagating Schefflera, the seeds can be buried in sand for germination. After the seeds are found to have cracks, they can be planted. Clean soil without impurities needs to be prepared. After the seeds are planted, they need to be covered with soil. The best thickness is 1-2 times the diameter of the seeds.

Things to note when breeding Schefflera

When propagating Schefflera, you need to pay attention to the maintenance. The potting soil needs to be changed once every spring. The potting soil used should be loose, breathable and well-drained. If plastic potting soil is used, pay attention to drainage, and it should also be exposed to sufficient sunlight at normal times.
