How to propagate Coreopsis

Reproduction method

In fact, Coreopsis has a strong reproduction ability, so if you want to propagate it, you can propagate it through sowing or cuttings. The following will briefly introduce these two reproduction methods.

Seed propagation method

Sowing can be carried out from March to April every year. Place the seeds directly on the sand, and then cover it with a thin layer of soil. Water the soil evenly before sowing. Keep the soil at the same moisture level after sowing. Cover it with plastic film, and then lift the film for ventilation in the morning and evening, and cover it at other times. When the seeds sprout, remove the plastic film and place them in a place with scattered light. When they grow 1 to 2 leaves, they can be transplanted and planted.

Division propagation method

This method is very simple, because Coreopsis has a strong ability to reproduce. You only need to dig out the divisions and plant them, which can be done during its growth period. However, it should be noted that the newly planted divisions should not be exposed directly to the sun. Wait until it has passed the seedling acclimatization period before carrying out normal maintenance.

It can also be propagated by cuttings, and cuttings can also be carried out in the hot summer, but this method is rarely used.
