How to divide and cultivate Saxifrage and what are the propagation methods?

1. Division method

1. Division time: If you want to propagate saxifrage by division, it is recommended to do it in spring or autumn. Because the climate is relatively warm during these two periods, the divided plants are easier to grow.

2. Cut the daughter plants: Choose a healthy mother plant, take it out of the pot, and shake it slightly to drop the soil on its surface. Then use a knife to cut off the small plants on its creeping branches and place them in a well-ventilated place to dry.

3. Planting: Prepare some shallow flower pots and add some loose and breathable flower soil into them. Then plant the dried seedlings into new pots, with only one seedling plant in one pot. After that, cover the surface of the flower pot with a layer of plastic film with small holes and place it in a warm place.

4. Later maintenance: After planting, water it regularly to keep the soil slightly moist. Remove the plastic wrap every few days to allow it to breathe. After about 1-2 weeks, it will survive and start growing.

2. Breeding Methods

There are three main methods of propagating Saxifrage. In addition to the most commonly used division method, there are also sowing method and cutting method. If you want to plant in large quantities, you can also use the sowing method, which is simpler. Its cuttings do not root easily, so the cutting method is not often used.
