Fire Festival Reproduction Method

Beheading breeding

Beheading

First, cut off the long head of the fire festival, remove some leaves to expose part of the stem, and then dry the wound in a cool place.

Put the cut heads into the same pot for cuttings, directly insert them into slightly moist soil with good permeability, and wait for them to take root.

Maintenance

Note: The cuttings of the fire festival seedlings are basically green, and the soil for the fire festival should also use a small amount of peat soil. There is no need to use paving stones when cutting, because the branches of the fire festival are easy to creep and take root quickly.

After the seedlings have taken root, you can water them appropriately. In summer, the fire festival will enter a short dormant period and needs ventilation and shade. If summer comes immediately after spring pruning, good ventilation and cooling are needed, otherwise the newly rooted seedlings may easily die halfway.

Leaf cutting propagation

Cuttings

Cuttings of Fire Festival are often combined with pruning. The leaves are cut off during the growing season, dried in one or two places for a few days, and then laid flat in the soil after the cut ends are dry.

Maintenance

Be mentally prepared before leaf cuttings, as it will take a long time for rooting. It takes at least a month for the plant to take root, but it takes a long time for it to sprout, sometimes more than half a year. Therefore, before rooting and sprouting, pay attention to watering to ensure that the soil is moist.
