How to propagate garlic vine

Cutting propagation of garlic vine

For plants such as garlic vine, cuttings can be said to be the most commonly used and simplest method of reproduction. In addition, the survival rate of cuttings is relatively high for garlic vine, and the time it takes to grow into a mature plant is greatly shortened. It is one of the main methods of propagating garlic vine. Let's talk specifically about the steps of propagating garlic vine by cuttings. The first thing to do before cuttings is to prepare the soil. If the cuttings are cut before the soil is prepared, the cuttings will lose water in a short time and reduce the survival rate of the cuttings. The prepared soil requires loose, breathable and fertile soil. After preparing the soil, you can select cuttings. The cuttings should be selected from strong mother branches, generally five to eight centimeters. Each cutting is required to have two to three new buds to increase the survival rate. After cutting the selected cuttings, insert them into the prepared soil. It should be noted that the part inserted into the soil should account for about the whole branch. Water it well and maintain it carefully.

Layering propagation of garlic vine

The layering method of garlic vine propagation is also very simple. The most important thing is that there are many things to pay attention to in layering propagation. Layering propagation is the same as cutting propagation. Attention should be paid to the selection and preparation of soil. The best time for layering is spring. If it is between March and July, it would be the best. Layering is to bend the creeping branches to a depth of about ten centimeters in the soil. After layering, in addition to keeping it moist, the garlic vine should be fertilized when necessary to provide sufficient nutrients for its growth.
