How to propagate and transplant trumpet creeper

1. How to propagate trumpet creeper

1. Seed propagation: When sowing, choose seeds that are full, healthy and new seeds of the year. The germination rate of old seeds is relatively low. You can use river sand directly as soil and it can be used after disinfection. The seeds should be soaked in clean water for 24 hours first, and they will germinate faster after germination. Sprinkle the seeds directly on the surface and keep them moisturized, and they will germinate in half a month.

2. Propagation by division: Propagation by division is usually carried out in conjunction with repotting in spring, by turning the plant upside down from the pot. Then cut off the branches that sprout from the roots and stem base, disinfect them and replant them. About three or four plants can be planted in one flowerpot.

3. Cutting propagation: Cutting propagation is usually carried out in April and May in spring. Choose strong one-year-old branches and cut them into about 10-15 cm length. Cut off the upper leaves to reduce water consumption. After processing, insert the cuttings into the substrate, with two-thirds of the cuttings buried in the soil. In the later stage, you must pay attention to keeping warm and moisturizing. If the environment is suitable, it will take about 20 days for the plant to take root.

2. How to transplant trumpet creeper

The best time to transplant trumpet creeper is in spring or autumn, when the climate, temperature and humidity are very suitable, which helps it adapt to the new environment. Be careful when digging to minimize damage to the root system. After planting, don't rush to expose it to direct sunlight. Treat it with diffuse light for a while and then manage it normally after it recovers.
