The main propagation method of monkey face flower

Propagation by division

Timing: It is best to do it in late spring when the soil has just thawed.

Method: Take the plant out of the clay pot, shake off the sticky soil, and then tidy up the tangled roots. Next, use a knife to cut it into several pieces. However, it should be noted that each plant must have some developed roots, otherwise it will not be easy to survive. Moreover, it is best to trim the leaves, which can also better promote its survival.

Next, after disinfecting the small plants that have been divided, they can be planted in the soil.

Water the plants abundantly right after transplanting. Because its roots have just suffered serious damage, its ability to absorb water is relatively weak. At this time, there is no need to worry about the roots absorbing too much water. After about three or four weeks, new roots will grow again, so watering should be slow and controlled to avoid root rot. Alternatively, you can sprinkle some water on the leaves. Another thing to remind you is that you should not apply fertilizer at this time.

Cutting propagation

Specifically, stem cuttings can be used. Operation steps: You need to choose the tenderer part of the stem, cut it off, and then put it in relatively moist potting soil so that it will be easier to grow roots. In addition, the part of the stem that grows on the ground will have roots growing out, and you can directly choose the rooted stem for planting.

Seed propagation

Time: Usually greenhouse-grown plants are sown in autumn.

Method: Because the seeds of this plant are very small, they are cultivated in flat trays and the seeds do not need to be covered with soil.

After waiting for the seedlings to grow out, transplant them into a pot, then water them sufficiently and place them in a shaded environment for maintenance.
